  • 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 the included 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 and shift cables wrap around the frame cleanly, without kinks to any of the lines.
  • Page 7 Step 2. Install your seat post. Loosen the seatpost clamp with the Allen key. On the seatpost, locate the minimum insertion line. Insert the seatpost into the frame beyond the minimum insertion line, then hand tighten the clamp using the Allen key, enough so the seatpost can’t be pulled from the frame.
  • Page 8 Unthread and remove the adjusting nut and the neighboring conical spring from the skewer. While holding the quick-release skewer by the lever head, insert the skewer into the wheel axle. Place the conical spring back onto the skewer with the narrow end pointing toward the wheel, then thread on the adjusting nut.
  • Page 9 Step 3. Install your front wheel. Carefully roll the front wheel in-between the brake pads and verify the brake pads sit in-line with the rim. Carefully align and lower the fork dropout onto the wheel axle. Ensure the wheel is fully seated into the fork dropouts on both sides. While holding the lever head of the skewer, begin tightening the adjusting nut in a clockwise direction.
  • Page 10 Step 3. Install your front wheel. Make sure the quick-release lever is positioned behind the fork leg. To finish setting up the front brake, pull the silver cable elbow up and over the black housing. Holding the silver elbow and one of the brake arms, slide the silver elbow down into the catch on the brake arm.
  • Page 11 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 pedal) into the crank and tighten with your fingers. Repeat with the left pedal (with an L on it).
  • Page 12 Some final pre-ride checks. 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. Seat Height. Adjust seat height by loosening the seatpost collar. Standing next to the bike, position the saddle so it’s the same height as your hip.
  • Page 13 Tire Pressure. Inflate tires to the manufacturer’s recommended ressure marked on the sidewall of the tire. Wheel Engagement. Verify the front and rear quick-release skewers are tight. When properly tensioned, the lever should leave an imprint on your hand as you close it.
