General notes on assembly
The
general
order
of
assembly
for
Silvio
is
indicated
in
the
contents
table.
This
instruction
set
describes
assembly
of
the
Silvio
451
and
Silvio
559
Cruzbikes.
Although
the
bikes
have
minor
differences
in
specification,
assembly
is
the
same.
WARNING
If
you
are
unsure
about
adjusting
brakes
or
gearing
on
a
bicycle,
you
should
take
your
Silvio
to
a
professional
bicycle
mechanic
for
adjustment.
Improperly
adjusted
brakes
or
drivetrain
components
could
cause
severe
injury
or
death.
Frame Assembly
Assembling
the
Silvio
can
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
across
the
bottle
cage
braze
‐
ons
under
the
seat
pan.
Be
sure
to
tighten
the
clamp
sufficiently
that
the
frame
won’t
rotate
out
of
the
clamp.
To
properly
adjust
the
rear
brakes,
you
may
need
to
remove
the
bike
from
the
workstand
to
free
up
the
rear
brake
cable.
Un-box and evaluate the frame and major parts
The
Silvio
Frameset
comes
mostly
unassembled.
Please
take
the
following
approach
to
completing
the
assembly.
These
instructions
make
reference
to
the
Silvio
Parts
Diagram.
Preparation
Unpack
the
items
and
unwrap
them,
except
for
tube
protection
which
may
be
retained
until
the
bike
is
ready
to
be
ridden.
Identify
the
headset
bearings,
do
not
unpack
them.
If
the
details
of
aheadsets
are
new
to
you,
two
of
many
useful
links
explaining
them
are
Sheldon
Brown's
authoritative
glossary
and
this
general
description
with
diagrams
that
describe
the
Integrated
Headset
as
found
on
Silvio.
