  • Page 1 Final Assembly Instructions – Bikes with Quill Stems Thank you for buying your new bicycle from L.L.Bean. Read these instructions carefully before beginning the final assembly. Prior to shipping, our expert cycling technicians completely assembled and tuned your bicycle to ensure that all components are functioning properly.
  • Page 2 1. INSTALL HANDLEBAR AND STEM Required tool – 6mm hex wrench The front wheel has been removed, and the fork may have been reversed for shipping. If you find the brakes facing toward the frame, spin the fork 180 degrees. Spin so the brake cable does not wrap around the head tube. In proper position, brakes will face away from the frame (1-A).

  • Page 3: Front Wheel Installation

    To reconnect after wheel is on, hold the brake arms together and place the silver insert into the cable stop as shown (2-B) or as seen on the rear brake of your bike. Disconnected...
  • Page 4 Insert the wheel between the fork blades so that the axle seats firmly at the top of the fork dropouts (1-A & 1-B), which are at the tips of the fork blades. Hold the wheel firmly to the top of the fork dropout, centering the wheel in the fork. Tension and secure the quick-release lever as directed below.

  • Page 5: Install Pedals

    Stem bolt NOTE: After completing Step 3, Handlebar and Stem Alignment, your bike should look like 3-B handlebar and stem facing forward – with front brakes located in front of fork. The handlebar may have been rotated for shipping. To adjust, loosen the handlebar clamp bolts on the stem (3-A).
  • Page 6 To install the seat post to the bike, open the quick release seat clamp or loosen clamp bolt if not a quick release (5-D). Insert the seat post into the bike’s seat tube past the minimum insertion line (5-D). This line is embossed into the lower portion of the seat post.

  • Page 7: Saddle Height Adjustment

    The front and rear reflectors may have been adjusted or not installed to prevent shipping damage. Be sure to mount the red reflector facing the rear of the bike and the white reflector facing forward. Both reflectors should be set perpendicular to the ground and secured before riding.
  • Page 8 Use care not to over-tighten as the bracket may crack. If your bike came with a fork mounted reflector it will be mounted but may need to be adjusted to the proper position (7-D). Rotate the reflector upright. Loosen the adjustment screw located below the reflector, set perpendicular to the ground and tighten to secure.
  • Page 9 Custom Fitting your Handlebar (adjustable stems only) Your stem angle comes pre-adjusted for the average rider and may be perfectly satisfactory where it is. However, some bikes have an adjustable “riser” stem. You may be able to raise or lower it, as well as move it farther away from you. If you’d like to be sitting more upright, you can move it up and back towards you.
  • Page 10 After adjusting the riser angle you may need to rotate the handlebar back to a more level upright position by loosening the two handlebar clamp bolts, rotating the bar to the position you want, and retightening them (A-C). Generally the grip portions of the handlebar should be parallel with the ground.
