Installing the Seatpost
1. Open the seatpost quick release
lever (Figs. 24 & 25).
2. Insert the seatpost into the seat
tube to a sufficient depth so that the
minimum insertion line is no longer
showing (Fig. 25).
Attaching the Steering Damper
Spring
A steering damper spring is included
to keep the fork and handlebars from
turning on their own and falling to one
side when the bike is parked. It does not
affect handling of the bike while riding.
The spring can be found in the small
parts box. To attach it:
1. Loop the hook on one end of the
spring through the eyelet on the
underside of the frame’s top tube.
It is located directly behind the fork
arch (Fig. 23, a).
2. Using a pair of pliers to grip the hook
on the opposite end of the spring,
stretch the spring toward the fork
arch. This requires considerable
force, so be sure the pliers have a
secure grip on the spring.
3. Insert the hook end into the opening
in the L shaped bracket attached to
the fork arch (Fig. 23, b).
