DERAILLEUR GEARED BICYCLES

Includes 20", 24", and 26" Wheel Mountain Bikes. Assembly is the same for men's and women's bikes.
FOREWORD: Assembling a bicycle is an important responsibility. Proper assembly not only gives the rider more
enjoyment of the bicycle, it also offers an important measure of safety.
Getting Started
Open the carton from the top and remove the bicycle. Remove the straps
and protective wrapping from the bicycle. Inspect the bicycle and all
accessories and parts for possible shortages. It is recommended that the
threads and all moving parts in the parts package be lubricated prior to
installation. Do not discard packing materials until assembly is complete
to ensure that no required parts are accidentally discarded. Assemble your
bicycle following the steps that pertain to your model.
NOTE: Your bicycle may be equipped with different style
components than the ones illustrated.
Front Wheel
1. Make sure the brakes are loose enough to allow the wheel to pass through
the brake pads easily.
2. Place wheel into fork drop outs.
3. Install retaining washers with raised lip pointed towards the fork, and insert
into the small hole of the fork blade.
4. Install axle nut and securely tighten. Make sure the wheel is centered
between the fork blades.
5. Spin the wheel to make sure that it is centered and clears the brake shoes.
Tighten the brakes if necessary.
6. If the wheel is out of alignment you will need to true the wheel; when spin-
ning the wheel and notice the gaps between the brake pads are not consis-
tently the same, the wheel needs truing. See a qualified bike technician to
true wheels.
WARNING
It is very important to check the front wheel connection to
the bicycle. Failure to properly tighten may cause the front
wheel to dislodge, resulting in a lose of control, injury or
even death.
