Now you can place the rear
triangle on top of the rear
wheel, drive-side facing down.
The cardboard envelope you
created will sit on the rear
wheel.
Note
: be sure to add some
padding or bubble-wrap on top
of the non drive-side crank
spindle facing up. This will help
protect the spindle and front
wheel.
With the rear triangle installed you can find the best placement for the han-
dlebars and seat-post/ saddle assembly. This may require removing the
rear triangle several times to confirm best placement for these components.
With a road drop handlebar, it’s best to tuck the bar-ends through the
spokes and under the rim of the rear wheel. In this example, the handlebars
are resting on top of the drive-side chain-stay and seat-stay tubes. So, it is
placed inside the rear triangle.
Note
: After you find the
best layering method
secure the rear triangle,
handlebars and seat-
post with zip-ties or
straps to prevent any
movement of compo-
nents.
