1.
Lift the front end of the cycle and install the fork. The head set pieces are on the stem in the order
they go on the bike: bearings go round side into the cups on the head tube.
2.
Install the stem and handlebars. Slide the stem on above the headset, place the steering stem cap
on and tighten down tight enough so there is no slop in the headset but not so much that the
steering is too tight or that when you turn the handlebars it feels ”crunchy”.
3.
Remove frame from box and place it in a bike stand if you have one or on a carpet. Remove
dropout protectors and unwrap the frame.
4.
Install the rear derailleur: position the derailleur over 10mm hole on rear dropout, Rotate it
clockwise so that the spring tension screw will clear the stop on the dropout as you tighten the
derailleur in place with a 5mm hex wrench. Allow tension screw to settle against stop before
tightening.
5.
Install rear wheel: Insert the skewer into the wheel with the lever on the side opposite the brake
rotor (right side). Slide the wheel axle between the chains and allow the upper chain to rest on the
smallest sprocket. Position between dropouts and work into place as gently as possible so as not to
damage the rotor or brake pads. Make sure the wheel is pushed into the dropouts solidly and
tighten.
6.
Install front wheel: install skewer into hub with tightening lever on the side opposite the brake rotor
(right side of wheel). Position between dropouts and work into place as gently as possible so as not
to damage the rotor or brake pads. Make sure the wheel is pushed into the dropouts solidly and
tighten.
7.
Install pedals: There is either an L or an R on each pedal. The right pedal is reverse threaded.
8.
Install the seat. Adjust to fit. Your leg should be just less than fully extended when the pedal is in the
most forward part of its stroke. Do not over tighten the clamp holding the seat to the frame, this
will deform the clamp.
9.
Sit on the cycle and adjust the handlebars to fit you. Align the handlebars, stem and fork. Tighten all
bolts.
10.
Unpack all optional components and be sure that there are none tucked away in packing materials.
11.
Refer to the Lightfoot Technical Manual for further installation and maintenance instructions.

1.
Position the crate with the arrows up.
2.
Remove the lid piece using a reversible drill with a Phillips screwdriver bit by removing the screws
around the sides near the top.
3.
Your cycle may be held in place by its fork. Generally, the easiest way to free it is to unscrew the
screws holding the wood block to the crate, then remove the block from the cycle after it is out of
the crate.
4.
The handlebars and front wheel(s) have been removed from your cycle in order to make it more
compact for shipping. In place of the handlebar stem we have placed a spacer to hold the fork stem
