General notes on assembly
This instruction set describes assembly of the Vendetta Cruzbike.
If you are unsure about adjusting brakes or gearing on a bicycle, you
should take your Vendetta to a professional bicycle mechanic for
adjustment. Improperly adjusted brakes or drivetrain components
Assembling the Vendetta may be easier if you have a bike workstand, but these
instructions assume you don't have one. The best place to clamp the frame is around
the Slider. Be sure to tighten the clamp sufficiently that the frame won't rotate out of
the clamp. Do NOT clamp around the rear stays or seat stays or chainstays.
Un-box and evaluate the frame and major parts
The Vendetta Frameset comes mostly unassembled. Please take the following
approach to completing the assembly. These instructions make reference to the
Vendetta Parts Diagram.
Unpack the items and unwrap them, except for tube protection, which may be
retained until the bike is ready to be ridden.
Once you have all the parts laid out, begin the assembly. In general, the approach is
to:
1) Arrange the frame on the floor;
2) Fit the slider into the boom;
3) Connect the chainstays to the fork legs;
4) Fit the slider to the top of the fork;
5) Fit the headrest and seat cushions;
6) Fit the wheels, check the brakes;
7) Reattach the gear cables; and
8) Carry out adjustments to size.
