- 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 hoses and cables wrap around the frame cleanly, without kinks to any of the lines.
- Page 7 Step 2. Install your seatpost. Apply carbon paste to the inside of the seat tube. Locate the minimum insertion line on the seatpost. The seatpost needs to be inserted into the frame beyond this line. Use a hex wrench to hand-tighten the seatpost clamp. It should be tight enough that the seatpost can’t be pulled from the frame.
- Page 8 Step 3. Install your front wheel. Prior to removing the brake caliper, consult the Stop Lock brake mount instructions included with your Lefty. Failure to remove the Stop Lock brake mount properly could result in permanent damage to the Lefty fork. While holding the release button, insert a 5mm hex wrench into the cam bolt and rotate it 180-degrees counterclockwise, so the white flag is 180-degrees from the lock icon.
- Page 9 Step 3. Install your front wheel. Use a 5mm hex wrench to tighten the Lefty hub bolt firmly onto the Lefty leg. The Lefty bolt should be installed very tightly. Refer to the instructions with your Lefty fork to avoid damage. Carefully guide the Stop Lock brake mount back into position on the fork.
- Page 10 4. Install your pedals. Place a pedal axle washer over the axle threads (if included). Insert the right pedal (marked with R on the body and/or spindle) into the crank and tighten toward the front of the bike 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 and install it into the torque wrench. Look for torque specification markings on the front and back of the stem, as well as the seatpost. If these markings are absent, torque all bolts to 7 Nm.
- Page 12 Some final pre-ride checks. At the correct seat height, you should have a slight bend in your knee when the pedal is at the lowest position. Twist 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.
- Page 13 Some final pre-ride checks. Gently pull the wheel reflectors toward the rim to ensure they are braced by the spokes. Brake Check. Confirm the front and rear brakes engage when the levers are squeezed. The brake lever and handlebar should not come into contact with the brakes fully engaged.
