FRONT FENDER - if equipped
The front fender is mounted at the fork crown. There are two ways in which to mount
your front fender. The first is the caliper brake mounting system (see Fig. 3.45), and the
second is the 10mm nut and bolt system (see Fig. 3.46). Identify the mounting system
used on your bicycle and follow the given instructions for that particular type of
mounting system.
(Fig. 3.45) Caliper Brake Mounting System
First remove the front wheel from your bicycle. Remove the hex nut from the caliper
brake bolt on the rear of the fork, and slide the brake assembly from the fork. Place
the fender assembly onto the fork making sure the attachment holes and fender
bracket holes line up. Reattach the caliper brake making sure that the brake arms
are on each side of the fender. Tighten the bolt until secure.
(Fig. 3.46) 10mm Nut and Bolt Mounting System
First remove the front wheel from your bicycle. Place the fender assembly onto the
fork making sure the attachment holes and fender bracket holes line up. Attach the
fender with the 10mm hex bolt and nut. Tighten the bolt until secure.
(Fig. 3.47) (Fig. 3.48) Suspension Fork Mounting System
Push bolt with washer through fork brace from front side of fork. Apply thick metal
spacer between fork brace and fender mounting tab if the fork brace does not have a
flush mounting surface. Slide fender mouting tab over the bolt from the back side of
fork. Put on metal washer then nut with nylon locking insert. Securely tighten the
hardware and make sure the bolt threads have completely passed though the nylon
insert inside the nut. Using the two 4 mm bolts, bolt the fender stays to the outside of
the threaded eyelets on your fork. Tighten the bolt until secure.
