- Page 2 FORK POSITION The front wheel has been removed and the fork may have been reversed for shipping. In the proper position, the fork dropout will face forward. If you find the fork is not in this position, spin the fork 180 degrees. Spin so the brake cable does not wrap around the head tube.

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 (3-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. For bikes with disc brakes, ensure that the rotor is sliding between the caliper on the fork.

Page 5: Install Pedals
Ensure that the stem and tire are aligned (4-D). If not, loosen the stem bolts and adjust the stem (4-C). Tighten the stem bolts. To check for tightness, brace the front wheel between your legs and try to move the handlebar. The stem should not move. - 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. This line is embossed into the lower portion of the seatpost (5-D).

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).
