Zinn’s “Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance” as a thorough and easy-to-read reference. If you are assembling your trike for the first time, please refer to the ICE Trikes Assembly Manual. We hope you enjoy owning and riding your ICE trike as much as we like making these great machines. -
Page 4: Adjusting And Closing Quick-Releases
Do not over- tighten. 2.0 Adjusting your ICE trike Fine-tuning for leg length, seat angle, handle bar width / angle, brake lever reach, tyre pressure etc are all well worth taking time to set to your personal preference. - Page 5 Unscrew the knobs under the front of the seat and slide the clips off the frame cup in which the seat sits.

Page 7: Suspension Adjustment
2.2a Suspension adjustment The front and rear suspension can both be fine-tuned to work well for you. The rear suspension can be adjusted by a combination of selecting one of three different hardness and five different fitting positions for the elastomer. The front suspension can be adjusted by selecting one of three different hardness elastomers. - Page 8 The elastomers have different compression characteristics, and you may find other combinations of elastomer hardness and pin position which suit the roads you ride on and your riding style better; it is just a matter of trying different combinations. The elastomer system is simple and small enough that you can carry a couple of elastomers in your pocket and change them when you are out on a ride if you like.

If you cannot adjust the boom to fit you (either it needs to be further than the minimum insertion mark or your heels are coming very close to the cross axle of the frame), then ICE offers accessory seat mounting brackets for your trike. - Page 12 2.6 Brake lever adjustment The position of the brake lever relative to the handlebars (the ‘reach’) can be adjusted. It can be useful for move the lever closer to the handlebar for riders with smaller hands. For disc brakes levers, there is a reach adjustment screw on the underside of the lever body, between the cable entry and the handlebar clamp.

If you require an additional copy of these instructions, they may be downloaded from our website at http://www.icetrikes.co.uk in the Download Centre of ICE World Trailers If you plan to attach a trailer to your trike we strongly recommend using a two wheeled trailer. One wheeled trailers have no lateral stability unlike the trike itself, so when cornering are able to transmit large twisting loads into the trike, possibly enough to cause serious damage to it. -
Page 14: Stopping In A Low Gear
check the front brakes. MAKE SURE YOU CAN STOP! You should do this before each ride, as well as checking your brakes for damage and wear. Steering is very easy and natural and you will soon become unaware of the movements required. Gear changing - As with any derailleur system you can only change gear when you are pedalling and moving forward. -
Page 15: Handling
This ‘No- Brake-Steer’ geometry is a safety feature that is an ICE innovation and is designed into every trike we make. Because your weight is being supported on 3 wheels rather than 2, you will find it easier to lock up the brakes on the front wheels. -

5.0 Maintenance Your ICE trike has been built from quality materials and parts, and will last for many years with just a bit of simple maintenance. Although there is nothing on the trike that a bike shop can’t maintain for you, doing your own basic maintenance gives you a good feel of how your trike is working. -
Page 17: Drum Brakes
To maintain safe and efficient braking, the pads need to be replaced if the material is worn down to 0.5mm. Replacing Brake Pads – follow the instructions that are supplied with your brakes. Parts and spares are available from ICE. -
Page 18: Rear Brake
To bleed your brakes, follow the instructions that were supplied with your brakes. Parts and spares are available from ICE.

Always use mineral oil;... -
Page 19: The Frame
5.7 The frame The main cruciform and rear section of your ICE trike is powder-coated, a baked-on finish that is both tough and beautiful. It is possible to damage the coating, particularly if you scrape the trike over road obstacles. If this happens, touch-up paint is available from ICE to repair the damage. -
Page 20: Suspension
5.9 Suspension The suspension on ICE trikes runs on plain bearings. These bearings are made from a special low-friction, chemical resistant plastic. They do not normally require lubrication. If you should notice any significant amount of play in the suspension joint, the bearings can be easily adjusted. -
Page 21: Storage
5.11 Storage If you are using the trike most days, it is best to store it somewhere dry and well ventilated. A damp, covered trike will quickly develop surface corrosion of its components, and eventually, the frame. If you are storing your bike for any considerable period (over winter or a long holiday): ... -
