STEP 1 INSTALL HANDLEBARS 1. Using the included Allen wrench, remove the bolts and the faceplate from the stem. The stem is what connects the handlebar to the fork. Set them aside together, so you don’t lose anything. Take the handlebar and place it on top of the stem. Ensure the brake and shifter cables are not twisted or kinked.
STEP 2 INSTALL THE FRONT WHEEL 1. In the parts box, you’ll find the quick-release skewer. There will be an adjusting nut, two springs, the quick release lever. 2. Unscrew the adjusting nut and remove one spring. Insert the quick-release skewer through the right- hand side of the wheel.
STEP 3 INSTALL THE PEDALS Pedals may or may not be included with your bike’s build. 1. Set the kick-stand down to hold the bike up while you finish a few final things. 2. Locate the pedal with the ‘L’ on it, and the corresponding crank arm.
