PREPARATION
It is important that you read this owner’s manual before you start to assemble your bicycle.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONSULT A PROFESSIONAL BICYCLE MECHANIC IF YOU
HAVE DOUBTS OR CONCERNS AS TO YOUR ABILITY TO PROPERLY ASSEMBLE, REPAIR,
OR MAINTAIN YOUR BICYCLE. Remove all parts from the shipping carton. Check to make
sure no parts are loose on the bottom of the carton. Carefully remove the front wheel which
is attached to the side of the bicycle for shipping. Carefully remove all other packing material
from the bicycle. This includes zip ties, axle caps and material protecting the frame.
FRONT WHEEL
1. Remove the nuts, washers and
wheel retainers from the front wheel.
2. Slide the wheel onto the open ends
of the fork. Slip an axle retainer onto each
end of the axle, and hook the retainers
into the holes in the fork end. Loosely
install the washer onto each end of the
axle (serrated end toward the retainer),
then install the hex nut. (Note: there may
be a washer head nut in place of the
washer and hex nut).
3. Center the wheel in the fork and tighten
the axle nuts securely, alternating from one
side to the other to center the wheel.
4. Spin the wheel to make sure that it is
centered in the fork and does not wobble.
If the wheel is not centered, loosen the nuts
and try again.
5. If your bicycle has a quick release mechanism, read and follow the quick release
information on this manual.
Torque requirement: 16-20 ft. lbs.
