*If you have a dropper post, install the lever on the left side. If the dropper lever has its own
clamp, install it however is most comfortable for the rider. (DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN DROPPER
LEVER BOLT) 3nm is enough. If you have an integrated lever clamp install it with the brake lever. If it
does not fit you may need to remove the plastic spacer on the brake lever clamp by removing the
bolt and popping it out with a flathead screwdriver.
10. Remove grips, and install onto bars. Trailcraft logos up! Tighten with a
3mm
allen key. Count 2
centimeters back from the end the of grip to the lever mount. Tighten the brake/shifter mount. Most feel
a 30-45 degree angle is best to start out. Everyone has different lever angle preferences, though we
have found 30 degree seems the most popular.
11. Adjust saddle height to comfort. The saddle angle has been set parallel to the ground though a different
angle may be more comfortable to the rider.
12.
Adjust fork pressure and shock pressures. A factory setting of 75 psi is stock, but air may have been
released for packing purposes. You may need to /- depending on your child’s weight and riding
level. Refer to the included suspension manual (RockShox/Fox)
13.
Inflate and adjust tire pressure
. Please note
your bike is set up with tubes unless you have requested
a tubeless set up. If we have set your bike up tubeless please note that you will need to refresh the
sealant with Orange Seal every 3-4 months. If your tubeless setup is flat upon arrival, re-inflate and try
to keep the wheels moving for a few days (riding it works best). This allows the sealant to evenly
disperse and prevent leaks. All wheels are factory installed with yellow rim tape. If you decide to set up
tubeless later on you’ll need tubeless valves and sealant.
14. Double check that all bolts and axles are tight and that the bars do not move free of the fork.
15. Install pedals (flat, included) or your own clipless style pedals. Be sure they are properly torqued and
threaded. The included pedals use either a 6mm or 8mm hex key instead of a standard pedal wrench.
The right pedal is standard thread and has a flat spindle between the threads and the platform.The left
pedal is reverse thread and has a grove on the spindle. Some pedals may have a pink dot to indicate
the left pedal.
16. Double check that all bolts are tight, thru-axles levers are tight and that the bars do not move free of the
fork.
REMEMBER: You should be tightening all bolts and inspecting components after every ride to ensure
everything is tight and safe to ride. As
with any full suspension bike, always check pivot bolts before
any ride. Here are a couple resources to help you assemble and tune your bike.
