Some final pre-ride checks. 

Twist Check. 

Secure the front wheel between your legs and turn the 

handlebar. If the handlebar and wheel move independently, the stem 

bolts are not tight enough. Use the torque wrench and correct bit to 

properly torque the bolts.

Attempt to rotate the handlebar forward and backward in the stem. If 

it moves, the stem faceplate bolts are not tight enough. Use the torque 

wrench and correct bit to torque the faceplate bolts to specification, 

using the same “X” pattern as before.

Grab the front and rear of the seat and attempt to twist and tilt it on 

the seatpost head. It should not move.

Training Wheel Check.

 On a flat surface with the tires fully inflated, 

only one training wheel should touch the ground at a time. This is 

necessary to teach balance.
