INSERT
AXLE FROM
THE
NON-DRIVE
SIDE
5E Once everything is lined up and in position,
reinsert the axle. Tighten the axle using
the integrated lever on the non-drive side (left),
turning clockwise until tight. Reinstall the lever
within the axle by pushing it firmly back in place.
With a 5mm Allen key finish tightening the
axle on the drive-side of the bike in a counter-
clockwise direction to 11Nm.
STEP 06
INSTALL THE FRONT WHEEL
6A
Remove all packaging from the wheel
(make sure the hub end caps are still in
the correct place). Then remove the orange brake
pad spacer and the front wheel axle from the fork
by unscrewing it.

PUSH TOWARD
THE FRONT OF
THE BIKE
5F Now take the lock off the rear derailleur.
To do this, gently push the derailleur
cage forward a little. The derailleur lock is spring
loaded, so once the derailleur arm is pushed
forward as shown above it will automatically
unlock. Slowly let the derailleur arm move
backward into its correct position.
6B
Position the wheel so that the rotor fits
into the brake caliper body and that
the hub body slots into the grooves on the fork.
When everything is in the correct place reinsert
the front wheel axle and tighten, then clamp it
tight using the quick release lever. There should
be some resistance when the lever is flipped into
the vertical position.
STEP 08
ADJUST HEADSET & HANDLEBARS
8A It is now time to flip your bike over onto
its wheels and check that your headset
is adjusted correctly. Set your headset preload
at 2-4Nm. Ensure that the headset moves easily
with a very slight amount of resistance.If it feels
a little loose then undo the stem clamping bolts
slightly using a 5mm Allen key and then gently
tighten the top cap bolt by a quarter clockwise
turn. Retighten the stem clamp bolts and check
the headset again. If the bars won't turn smoothly
it is too tight, so repeat the process but this time
slacken the top cap bolt off a little, or if it is too
loose, continue to tighten.
STEP 07
RUN THROUGH THE GEARS
Now is a good time to run through the gears to
check that they are working correctly. To do this
turn the cranks (where the pedals are attached)
so that the wheel begins to spin, with your hand
shift through the gears (being careful not to trap
anything in the chain). If you are having any issues
with the gears, please check out our Tech Video
Series on our website:

8B
Once you are happy with your headset
adjustment you need to make sure that
your stem and handlebars are straight. A good tip
is to straddle your bike and look down and line
the back of your handlebars up with the front of
the fork legs. Take your time to get it right, and
when you are happy tighten the two stem bolts to
7Nm using a 5mm Allen.
