ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 
Tools Required For Assembly 

This bicycle can be assembled with the following tools which are included in the 
shipping carton.  

- Metric Allen wrenches 
- Combination open end/box wrench 

- Phillips screwdriver 

 

Assembly Instructions 

Please read through and follow all instructions to ensure that your Shadow is  

properly assembled and ready for use.  

 
1.

 

Remove the bicycle from the box by cutting the plastic strapping, then 
cutting two sides of the box away. Avoid lifting the bike straight up out of 

the box. Remove all of the wrappings and ties that protect the bicycle 

during shipment.  

 

2.

 

Position the front wheel on the front fork assembly.  Place washer clamp, 
washer and locking nut on outside of each side of front fork assembly and 

tighten securely.  Install the front fender by removing the screw from front 
brake assembly as shown. Insert screw through fender clip, tighten washer 
and nut.  Attach fender supports to lower opening in front fork assembly 

with screw and washer as shown. 

  

   

 

3.

 

Position the handlebars so that the stem fits into the bicycle frame. Line the 
handlebars up with the front wheel and tighten them with an Allen wrench. 
Observe the stem – there is a marking on the stem that indicates the 

minimum safe insertion. The line or marking must be inside the frame. If 
the stem is not inserted this far into the frame it may break and the rider 
may lose control.  

 
4.

 

Install the pedals. Install the pedals by carefully threading through crank 

arm, then tightening securely with a wrench. 

 

5.

 

Install the seat and adjust the height.  Since your Shark has a bicycle type 
quick release mechanism to secure the seat, it is essential that you 
understand how to use this correctly. Read section which follows on quick 
release lever.
