Release ALL 4 quick release bolts
and/or pinch barrel bolts during adjustment, even if
adjusting only one part of the seat.
For Greenways and RoadRunners: The lower quick release bolt on the seat clamp should have
a small wing nut on the chain side ( as shown in figure 2.12) and spacers to “shorten” the bolt
on the left side of the trike. IF it doesn’t, in some positions, the nut will interfere with the
cassette.
To adjust the contours of the mesh Performance seat, adjust the tension of the straps on the
back of the seat and under the seat bottom. Most people will want the straps behind the small
of the back (the lumbar region) to be tighter for more support, while the straps at the very
bottom of the back will remain quite loose. The seat horn can be adjusted in two ways; reduce
the contour that the horn creates by tightening the large strap under the seat, and increase the
horn contour by substituting a longer piece of 5/8” dowel and/or loosening the large strap.
The rear edge of the seat pad cover has a Velcro closing that can be opened to allow the
removal, modification or replacement of the seat pad.
All the nylon straps as well as the mesh itself will stretch a little during break-in. Readjust the
straps as needed to keep the seat comfortable for you.
FENDERS (
FROM CHAPTER 6 OF TECH MANUAL)
Front Fenders
All of our front fenders require that
the left stay have a 30 degree bend 3” behind the
fork mount loop to clear the brake caliper.
On 20”
front fenders, we trim the backside so it will not scrape
going over curbs and bumps. The front fenders have single
stays instead of double stays.
INSTALLATION
1. Bolt the fender top tab to the FRONT of the fork using
6mm x 2” bolt, lock washer and nut. Center the fender
over tire and tighten.
2. The left fender stay needs a 30 degree bend 3 inches
behind the attachment loop to clear the front brake caliper.
We usually do that for you. If you have to bend it, just make sure the bend is in line with the
flat plane of the loop.
3. Attach stays to the 5mm threaded mounts in fork using 5 mm bolt and washer.
4. Adjust stays to center fender over the wheel by loosening the stay nuts and sliding the stays
while centering the fender.
5. Tighten all nuts. Trim the ends of the stays with bolt cutters or hacksaw if you choose. File
off sharp edges and replace end cap. A dab of finger nail polish or glue will hold them on well.
Rear Fenders on Bikes Set up fender hardware as directed in instructions with this exception:
the front mount on the rear fender should be installed by bolting from the inside of the fender
