STEP 5: PEDALS, SEAT, AND TIRES
To attach pedals, begin by identifying the right and left pedals. Look for “L” and “R”
markings on the axles, wrench flats, or stickers. If no “L” and “R” markings are seen, use
pedal thread direction to identify pedals. Left threaded pedals (threads sloping upward
to the left) go to the left crank. Right threaded pedals (threads sloping upward to the
right) go to the right crank. See the image on the right if in doubt (Left: left-hand threads
on the left pedal. Right: right-hand threads on the right pedal).
Be sure to grease the pedal threads before installation. Choose the appropriate pedal and start it into the correct crank arm
by hand turning the pedal axle toward the front of the bike (both pedals thread in this direction). If it will not start, do not
force it - you are probably trying to install the left pedal on the right side or vice versa. Thread both pedals into the crank
arms as far as you can by hand. Then fully tighten them with a wrench so they do not loosen from pedal pressure. Be
careful to not overtighten the pedals as it may cause difficulties with their removal in the future.
Inflate the tires to the proper pressure.
Adjust the seat height to a comfortable position. Make sure the seat post quick-release clamps are properly tightened.
Never exceed the safety mark on the stem when finding the appropriate seat height. If used inappropriately, serious
damage/injury may be caused to the rider (go to page 14 for more details).
