Mid Top Tube; Bottom Tube; Connect Frame - Bike Friday Family Tandem Traveler User Manual

Assembly: Mid Top Tube
3. Tool Pouch
The tool pouch that comes
with the TravelCase is a
light blue colored felt bag
with a cord around it. Inside
you should find a folding
tool set with all of the Allen
wrenches and screwdrivers
you will need to assemble
your bike, a pair of co�on
gloves to keep your hands clean, and a 4mm ball-end driver. Note:
You will also find a combination 5/6mm S-wrench a�ached to your
water bo�le cage for quick road-side adjustments.

4. Mid Top Tube

Orientation
Select the mid top tube from
the grey felt sleeve. One
end has a notch cut out of
it whereas the other end has
a square cut. The end with
the notch faces forward and
is designed to engage the
captain's seat tube inside the
forward socket. The notch is vertically oriented and keeps the top
tube from twisting.
5. Insert Mid Top Tube
With the notch facing
forward (the stoker's water
bo�les should be on top and
facing backwards) insert the
mid top tube into the upper
forward socket, twisting it
slightly back and forth until
it is all of the way in. You
should feel the notch engage
the seat tube. Check that the water bo�le cages are on squarely on
top and securely tighten the forward upper socket clamp bolts.

6. Bottom Tube

Orientation
Select the bo�om tube from
the felt sleeve. One end of
the bo�om tube has a notch
cut out of it and the other
end has a square cut. The
end with the notch faces
rearward and goes into the
rear lower socket.
7. Insert Bottom Tube
Push the bo�om tube into
the rear lower socket as far as
it will go, twisting it slightly
back and forth until it is all
of the way in. The small
peg on the bo�om tube is a
pump peg which should be
squarely on top and pointing
forward. Securely tighten
the socket clamp bolts.

8. Connect Frame

Slide the over-clamp for-
ward on the top tube until
the square cut is exposed.
To connect the frame halves,
insert the bo�om tube front
end (with the square cut)
into the forward lower
socket and push the frame
halves together. Leave the
forward lower socket loose for now.
