- Page 5 Step 1. Install your handlebars. Using an Allen wrench, loosen and remove the bolts and faceplate from the stem. The stem connects the handlebar to the fork. Set the bolts and faceplate aside together, so you don’t lose anything. Insert the handlebar into the stem and verify the brake hoses and shift cables wrap around the frame cleanly, without kinks to any of the lines.
- Page 6 Step 2. Install your seat post. Locate and remove the warranty card and set it aside with your owner’s manual. Locate the seatpost wedge in the parts bag. Identify the rounded face on the wedge assembly and cover it with the provided grease. Do NOT use carbon paste on this surface.
- Page 7 Step 2. Install your seat post. Locate the rubber seatpost seal and slide it onto the seatpost, tapered side up. Locate the minimum insertion line on the seatpost. Insert the seatpost into the frame beyond the minimum insertion line, then hand tighten the seatpost wedge using the Allen key, enough so the seatpost can’t be pulled from the frame.
- Page 8 Step 3. Install your front wheel. Prior to installing the quick-release skewer, please review the included documentation. The quick release skewer is comprised of five major parts: two conical springs; an adjusting nut; the skewer; and the lever head. Unthread and remove the adjusting nut and the neighboring conical spring from the skewer.
- Page 9 Step 3. Install your front wheel. Lift the front of the bike and roll the front wheel in-between the brake pads with the lever head on the left side of the bike. Carefully align and lower the fork onto the wheel axle. Ensure the brake pads are in- line with the rim and the wheel axle is fully seated in the fork dropouts.
- Page 10 Step 4. Install your pedals. Insert the right pedal (marked with R on the spindle) into the crank and tighten with your fingers. Install your chosen pedals by turning the pedal spindle in the direction of the front wheel. Repeat with the left pedal (with an L on it). Tighten both pedals down very firmly with the appropriate Allen or 15mm pedal wrench.
- Page 11 Some final pre-ride checks. Confirm the handlebar is centered in the stem, and at the correct height and angle. Adjust as necessary. Snug the bolts with an Allen wrench, ensuring the gap between the stem and faceplate remains consistent from top to bottom. Torque Bolts.
- Page 12 Some final pre-ride checks. In the riding position, you should have a slight bend in your leg when the pedal is at the bottom of the rotation. Reflectors. Ensure the rear reflector is pointing straight back, and the front reflector points straight ahead, perpendicular to the ground. Gently pull the wheel reflectors toward the rim to ensure they are snug Twist Checks.
- Page 13 Some final pre-ride checks. Secure the front wheel between your legs and turn the handlebar. If the handlebar and wheel move independently, the stem bolts are not tight enough. Use the torque wrench and correct bit to properly torque the bolts. Brake Check.
