Remove the plastic shipping protector from the fork dropouts and plastic axle protector(s).
Loosen the axle nuts on the front wheel and insert the front wheel into the fork dropouts. Insert the tab of the safety washers into the small holes on the outside of the fork dropouts.
(Fig. 11)
.
NOTE:
You may have to loosen or remove one brake pad to fit the wheel in the front fork
(Fig. 12)
. When tightening or reinstalling, make sure the brake pad is aligned with the curve of the rim and the
pad contacts the rim surface flat and evenly.
Inspect the wheel to make sure it is centered in the fork
(Fig. 13)
. Tighten each axle nut a little at a time with a 15mm wrench, alternating between sides, until each axle nut is properly tightened.

PEDALS
5
Right Pedal
Locate the pedal stamped “R” on the end of the spindle (this is the RIGHT pedal)
(Fig. 14)
.
RECOMMENDED:
Apply a thin layer of grease to the pedal threads prior to installation. Carefully insert the Right pedal into the Right side crank arm (the side with the chain) and thread it
Clockwise
(Fig. 15)
. You should be able to thread the pedal in part of the way by hand with minor resistance. If it seems difficult and binds, stop, remove the pedal, realign the threads and try
again. Be sure you are turning the right pedal axle in a clockwise direction!
Tighten the pedal with a 15 mm or adjustable wrench until the pedal is securely attached to the crank arm. The pedals need to be tightened with a considerable amount of force so that they do
not come loose.
Left Pedal
Locate the pedal stamped “L” on the end of the spindle (this is the LEFT pedal)
(Fig. 14)
.
RECOMMENDED:
Apply a thin layer of grease to the pedal threads and insert your Left pedal into the Left side crank arm.
IMPORTANT: Thread it counterclockwise and tighten with a 15 mm or adjustable wrench following the instructions in step #3 above (Fig. 16).
NOTE: Be sure to tighten both pedals with an adjustable wrench or 15mm open-end wrench to the recommended torque specification otherwise they will unscrew while riding. This can
cause an unsafe condition for the rider and damage the threads in the crank.
