1. Remove the brake pad spacers from the rear brake. Be sure
to
keep this in a safe spot so it can be reused in the future.
2. Remove the rear axle.
3. Grab the rear wheel and carefully remove the disc
guard. Check the disc guard to make sure the end
cap is not accidentally removed with the guard.
4. Pull the derailleur back and slide the rear wheel
into the rear triangle of the bike, setting the chain
on the smallest gear of the cassette.
5. From the non-drive side, slide the axle through the dropout and
wheel assembly, threading it by hand in a clockwise direction.
6. Using a 5mm allen key from the drive side, tighten the axle in
a counter clockwise direction. Torque to 11 Nm / 100 in-lbs.
7. From the non-drive side, tighten the cone spacer with
a 5mm allen key. Torque to 14 Nm / 125 in-lbs.

1. Grab the front wheel and carefully remove the disc guard.
2. Remove the front axle as well as the pad spacer from the front
brake. Be sure to keep the pad spacer in a safe spot for future use.
3. With the rotor side of the wheel on the non-drive side
of the bike, line the brake caliper up with the disc rotor
carefuly sliding the front wheel between the fork legs.
4. Slide the axle through the fork dropout and wheel assembly
and tighten by turning in a clockwise direction. NOTE: To
prevent accidental opening of the quick release lever while
riding, always lock the lever in an upward direction (parallel
to the fork leg) or horizontally towards the rear of the bike.

All INTENSE bicycles are delivered "Ride Ready", meaning you can
expect the bikes to come with the brakes and drivetrain all properly
adjusted. However, to ensure that nothing happened during shipping,
we recommend that you check that all the components are operating
correctly before heading out to the trail.
1. One wheel at a time, spin the wheels to make sure there
is no rotor rub from the brake pads. Give the brakes a
squeeze to make sure everything feels alright.
2. Check that the derailleur is adjusted properly by
running up and down the gears making sure that
everything is functioning nice and smoothly.

1. Remove the bike from the stand and place it onto the ground.
2. Check that front wheel is inline with the stem.
PRO TIP: You can line up the back of the handlebar with
the front of the fork crown to help with alignment.
3. Set the preload on the headset by tightening
the bolt in the center cap.
4. Tighten stem bolts with 5mm allen key
and torque to 8 Nm / 70 in-lbs.

Now that your bike is built, we need to plug the electric wire that can be
found coming out of the down tube (drive side) into the back of the cycling
computer as shown below.
s e a t p o s t
When inserting the seat post, apply a liberal coat carbon paste and
gently slide it into the seat tube. With a minimum seat post insertion of
4" (100mm), tighten seat post clamp to 5 Nm / 45 in-lbs.
NOTE: Over
tightening the seat post clamp will inhibit the movement of the seat post
and potentially damage seat post and/or seat tube.

Use the Shimano original tool (TL-EW02) for installation and removal of
the electric wire. Set so that the projection on the connector is aligned
with the groove on the narrow end of the tool.
When installing the electric wire, do not forcibly bend the connector. It
may result in a poor contact. When connecting the electric wire, push it
in until it clicks in place.
