    REMEMBER, the handlebar stem may be raised or lowered for comfort, but it should never be raised above the “minimum insertion line” marked on the stem. 4. INSTALL PEDALS Required tool – 15mm open-end wrench, or adjustable wrench CAUTION: The right pedal has right-hand threads and must be installed in the right crankarm, tightening in a clockwise direction (4-B).
  • Page 5 Generally, you do not want to raise your saddle higher than determined by this method. If you have to rock your hips to reach the bottom of the pedal stroke, then your saddle is too high. However, if while riding your bicycle, this position doesn’t feel comfortable to you, adjust as necessary.
