seat post/saddle assembly into the seat tube of the frame to
at least the minimum insertion line of the seat post (Fig.4).
Adjust the seat to your desired height. Once you have adjus-
ted the seat post to your desired height, lock it in place by
closing the quick release lever against the clamp (Fig.5).
The lever should begin to offer resistance at about the half way
point in its travel. The lever should require some force to close. If it
closes too easily and does not hold the seat post in place, or if the
effort to close the clamp is too great, adjust the clamping force
by loosening or tightening the adjusting nut on the side opposite
the lever.
WARNING!
Never adjust the seat height so that the minimum insertion line at the lower end of the seat post
is showing outside of the frame (Fig.4).
STEP 4: HANDLEBAR ASSEMBLY
1. Pull to the quick release lever attached to the top of the fork steer tube outwards. Insert the
handlebar assembly into the fork steer tube to at least the minimum insertion line of the as-
sembly (Fig.6). Adjust the handlebar to your desired height.
2. To properly align the handlebar, make sure the front fork is facing forward (Fig.1 & 7). Align the
handlebars with the centerline of the front wheel/tire and fork dropouts (Fig.7).
3. Once you have adjusted the handlebar to your desired height & alignment, lock it in place by
closing the quick release lever against the clamp (Fig.8). You should feel a reasonable amount
of resistance when fully closing the quick release lever and the handlebar assembly should not
easily rotate. Test this by holding the front wheel between your legs and trying to rotate the
bars.
The lever should begin to offer resistance at about the half way point in its travel. The lever should
require some force to close. If it closes too easily and does not hold the handlebar in place, or if the
effort to close the clamp is too is great, adjust the clamping force by loosening or tightening the
adjusting nut on the side opposite the lever.
WARNING!
Never adjust the handlebar/stem height so that the minimum insertion line at the lower end is of
the stem is showing outside of the fork steer tube/top of handlebar quick release clamp (Fig.7).
