- Page 12 Basket 12”, 16” and 20” bikes • Your basket is fitted to the handlebars using the straps provided. • Make sure the straps are tight and the basket is not touching the front wheel/mudguard. • Wicker baskets are hand-made from natural materials.

- Page 18 Adjusting the brakes If you need to adjust the brakes, there are 3 ways to it: • Use a 10mm spanner to adjust cable tension (image 1 & 2). Pulling the cable through makes the brakes sharper. • Using your fingers, adjust the barrel adjuster (image 3).
- Page 19 Adjusting the Gears Gingersnap 20” and Gingersnap 24” The gears will probably not need adjustment straight away, however after a few weeks of riding the gear cable will loosen a little and they may need adjustment then. This is completely normal on all bikes using derailleur gears and is not a fault.
- Page 20 Recommended Maintenance • Check that the tyres are inflated regularly • To keep your Bobbin running beautifully we recommend regular servicing with a qualified mechanic • Keeping your Bobbin clean and serviced will significantly extend the life of your bike and makes for happier cycling all around.
