4. Grab the quick release skewer and
remove the end cap along with the spring
being careful not to lose them.
5. Insert the quick release skewer all the
way through the axle.
5. Replace the spring, and the end cap.
Tip: Make sure the spring is on the
outside of the fork with the fat side
facing outwards.
6. Tighten the cap about halfway, and in-
spect the wheel to make sure it's
positioned correctly between the forks.
7. Tighten the cap the rest of the way.
6. While tightening the end cap, be sure
to test the tension by opening/closing the
lever every few turns. You want it to feel
tight and secure, so that your wheel can-
not easily come undone.
Again, please seek professional
assistance if you are unsure of your
ability to complete these steps.

STEP 4: Attach the Pedals
1. Check the end-cap on both pedals in order to identify the left vs. right pedal.
Tip: Imagine you are sitting on the bike to correctly determine left vs. right side
Note: Please note that the right pedal will tighten clockwise, while the left
pedal will tighten counter-clockwise.
2. Grab your wrench, and screw the pedal tightly into the correct crank. The pedals
should thread smoothly and easily if properly aligned.

STEP 5: Install the Seat
1. Loosen the quick release lever on the frame and drop the seat into the opening.
Find a height that works for you and close the quick release.
Note: The seat post must be
inserted to at least 5" in depth
to avoid damage to your frame.
If you need to raise the seat
above this height, please
purchase a longer seat tube to
satisfy the depth requirements.
