- Page 5 Let’s get your bike out of the box. Carefully lift and rotate the bike, lowering it gently back into the box with the fork overhanging the box side. The stem should be pointing forward and the disc brake caliper should be on the left (non- drivetrain) side of the bike.
- Page 6 Step 1. Install your handlebars. Using an Allen wrench, loosen and remove the four 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 7 Step 2. Install your seat post. 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. Use an Allen wrench to help guide the wedge into position in the frame.
- Page 8 Step 3. Install your front wheel. Unthread and remove the thru-axle from the fork and place it on a clean surface. The speed-release is basically a thru-axle bolt with a groove machined into the shaft to ease wheel removal and installation. Install the speed-release thru-axle into the hub on the non-disc brake side.
- Page 9 Step 3. Install your front wheel. Identify the disc brake rotor side of the front wheel. Orient the wheel so the rotor is on the left side – the same side as the front brake pads. Gently lift the front of the bike and roll the front wheel back into the fork.
- Page 10 Step 4. Install your pedals. Install your chosen pedals by turning the pedal spindle in the direction of the front wheel. Insert the right pedal (marked with R on the spindle) into the crank and tighten with your fingers. Repeat with the left pedal (with an L on it).
- Page 11 Some final pre-ride checks. Torque Bolts. Select the correct bit for the stem faceplate bolts and install it into the torque wrench. Look for torque specification markings on the front and back of the stem, as well as the head of the seatpost. If these markings are absent, torque all stem and seatpost bolts to 7 Nm.
- Page 12 Some final pre-ride checks. Tighten the seatpost collar to the torque value indicated on the collar – typically 7 Nm. Reflectors. Make sure your reflectors are tight and in the correct position. Your front reflector should point straight ahead, perpendicular to the ground.
- 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.
