Page 12: Using A Quick Release
Using a Quick Release Using Those Nifty Quick Releases The quick release is one of those simple but great inventions that really makes life better. However, if used incorrectly, it can be potentially dangerous. Although a reliable and safe product when used properly, people have been injured or killed due to improper use. - Page 13 Assembling your Ever-E-Day Install the Front Wheel Make certain the wheel is fully seated in the fork drop-outs, with disc brake rotor properly aligned, you can now securely close the quick release lever. [Fig 20.] The quick release levers (front and rear) are to be placed on the non-drive side of the bicycle.

Page 17: Adjusting: Handlebar
Adjusting: Handlebar Handlebar Height: This is a subjective preference. Handle- bar height can be classified into three general categories: 1) bars below saddle; 2) bars level with saddle; 3) bars higher than saddle. For reference you can use an existing comfortable bike or you can try out the three settings and see which one works best for you. - Page 18 Replace stickers • New cables and housing • New bar tape, where applicable • Test ride and packing Don’t hesitate to call Bike Friday’s Customer Service Depart-ment for help: 1-800-777-0258 (U.S.) or 1-541-687-0487 (world), or email Service@bikefriday.com www.bikefriday.com 800-777-0258 • +1-541-687-0487...

Page 19: Bike Friday Service
Bike Friday Service New Bike Maintenance Like all bikes, your Bike Friday travel bike will go through a break-in period. After the first few weeks of riding you might find that your drive train doesn’t shift as crisply as it did when new, or perhaps the brakes are slightly loose. - Page 20 Then it was shipped across town, the country or the world. As with any new bicycle, your Bike Friday will need several minor adjustments as it “settles in.” Knowing how to use barrel adjusters on brakes and derailleurs and adjust spring tension on brakes will help you through this settling in period.
- Page 21 Bike Friday Maintenance Maintenance Maintenance frequency depends on how much you ride and under what conditions. Wet weather will hasten the need for lubing your chain and greasing bearings, for instance. Ongoing Maintenance: • Keep the chain lubed. • Maintain recommended tire pressure (prevents flats and provides the best ride feel).
- Page 22 Bike Friday Maintenance Overhauling the Bearings [CONTINUED] To increase their lifespan before replacement, cartridges can be serviced. Using a thin knife, you can peel back the rubber/ plastic (metal in the case of Chris King) seal, clean out the old grease as much as possible, pack in new grease and reassemble.
- Page 23 Travel Tips & Airport Security Traveling with your Ever-E-Day Traveling with your Bike Friday on the airlines today will, for the most part, be as convenient as it was just a few years ago in the good old days. However, because of the need for extensive inspec-tions required by the TSA, there are a few points to consider.
