Page 8: Fit The Brake Rotors And Wheels
2.2 Fit the brake rotors and wheels First, the disc brake rotors must be mounted on the hub. Place the disc rotor on the hub mounting surface. Be sure that the arrow on the disc is pointing in the same direction of the forward wheel rotation (the rotor is mounted on the left side of the front wheel. -
Page 9: Assembling The Seat - Mesh Seat
2.4a Assembling the seat – mesh seat Find the seat frame and the bag with the seat cover in it. Unfold the cover and identify which is the top, the bottom, the front and the back. The top can be identified by the cut-out just below a single strap. -
Page 10: Assembling The Seat - Hard-Shell Seat
2.4b Assembling the seat – hard-shell seat The hard-shell seat is supplied with 2 seat mounting brackets, which have to be fastened to the seat. The lower bracket is the wider one, and fastens underneath through the pre-drilled holes. The upper bracket is narrower, and should be mounted in the lower position. -
Page 11: Fit The Chainset
Set the 5 position upper seat mount in the lowest position (see photo). There is a quick-release skewer that goes through the front hole on the top of the rear section. Place the seat onto the bike and fasten in place with the 4 plastic clips supplied (quick-release clips on the bottom, and bolted clips on the top) and then tighten the 2 lower quick-... -
Page 12: Fit The Pedals
Assemble the left crankarm onto the bottom bracket spindle using an 8mm hex key and torque as shown. The left crank arm will press against the bottom bracket with no gap. Check the assembly for play by pulling the crankarm away from the boom, alternating back and forth. -
Page 13: Install The Front Derailleur
The usual procedure for adjustment is: • Adjust the handlebar’s position forward and back. Sit on the bike. This position is changed by adjusting the bolt located at the base of the stem at the pivot. Moving the bolt-stop in and out positions the handlebars to stop in a comfortable position from your body. -
Page 14: Install And Connect The Rear Derailleur
Pull through any slack cable. While holding the cable taut, turn the shifter through its range of movement to check the cable moves smoothly and that the cable is properly seated inside the shifter. Run the cable under the cable anchor washer and hold taut. Tighten the 5 mm hex cable anchor bolt to 5 Nm (44 in.lbs.). Be careful not to crush or deform the cable. - Page 15 View the rear derailleur and pulleys from behind the rear wheel. Turn the limit screw marked ’H’ on the outer link of the derailleur to align the upper guide pulley centre with the outboard edge of the smallest cog. Then, push the rear derailleur towards the larger cogs by hand.
-
Page 16: Fit The Chain
TIP - Do not trim any cables until you are happy with the various settings of front boom and gears. The loose end of the cable can be tightly coiled so that it is out of the way. 2.13 Fit the chain Find the chaintube and pulley assembly, and pulley bolt with 3 washers. - Page 17 At the front of the bike, pass the chain under the idler pulley, then through the front derailleur cage, around the large chain ring. Pass it thought the short length of chaintube under the pulley. Now, checking that the chain is not twisted inside the chain tube, thread the bottom chain up through the derailleur and over the largest cog of the cassette.
- Page 18 Now check that the length of the chain is correct. Set the chain to the correct length by removing a section of chain from between the rear derailleur and the lower chain tube with a chain rivet tool as below. Move the chain until one of the connecting links can be seen between the rear derailleur and the lower chain tube.

Page 19: Check The Gear Shifting
2.13 Check the gear shifting While pedaling, shift the chain up and down the chainrings several times to take out initial slack in the cables. Any slack can be removed by adjusting the barrel adjuster on the shifters. Adjust the Front mech high limit screw Set the chain to the smallest rear cog and the largest front chainring. -

Rear mech ‘B’ adjust Shift chain to the small chain ring. While turning the crank, push the rear derailleur inboard by hand to the largest cog. Hold the rear derailleur in this position while making the following adjustment. Using a 2,5 / 3 mm hex wrench to turn the b-adjust screw until the chain gap equals approximately 6 mm (1/4“) from tip of the cog to tip of upper guide pulley. -
Page 21: Adjusting Your Ice B1
3.0 Adjusting your ICE B1 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. TIP - Experiment but always go for a reasonable (a mile or two) test ride to decide if an adjustment is right for you. -
Page 22: Seat Angle Adjustment
The rear swingarm is held in the normal position by a double-sided Velcro strap. This bolts on through the mudguard hole as shown in the picture above. The purpose of the strap is to keep the rear swingarm from dangling when the bike is picked up. To fasten, place the bike on the ground with no weight on it. Wrap one side of the Velcro strap around the curved frame tube where the corresponding Velcro strip has been placed. -

Page 24: Fitting Radical Bags
4.3 Fitting Radical bags Radical bags are extraordinarily simple to fit. The bags are simply held the right way up (so you can read the writing in the side), and they are draped over the seat. The top strap is either wrapped around the top seat tube if you don't have a neck rest fitted (photo left), or looped over the neck rest base if it is fitted (photo lower right). -
Page 25: Fitting The Wrap-Around Handlebars
4.4 Fitting the Wrap-around Handlebars Fitting the wrap-around handlebars in place of the standard handlebars is a simple procedure. Just remove the handlebar grips, shifter, and brake levers from the standard bars, then remove the standard bars from the stem. Slacken the stem clamp which is half way up the stem, turn the top part of the stem 180 degrees and push it down as low as it will go into the lower half. -

Page 27: Cornering
5.5 Cornering Your bike is inherently very stable under normal riding conditions. Cornering at high speed can leave you susceptible to loose or irregular road surfaces, which can cause you to crash. As you gain more experience with the bike you will learn the limits to high-speed cornering. Take care on corners which have a ‘reverse camber.’... -

Keeping the frame dry and clean will keep the coating looking its best for years to come. If you need to clean the seat mesh, it should be hand-washed in warm soapy water, rinsed well, and hung up to dry. Do not tumble dry! After the first 50 or 100 miles, check the steering components for signs of looseness. -
