  Adjusting the Brake Lever and Strider Poles                                                                           

.

 

 

Figure 3B-5 a, b, c. Adjusting the brake lever and strider poles 

To rotate the brake lever to a normal position, you will need a 5 mm hex wrench (not included). Loosen the brake lever clamp 
with the hex wrench (Fig. 3B-5a), rotate the brake lever to the preferred position, and tighten the screw. 
 
The strider poles, also called arm levers, can be adjusted for different heights as well as rotated forward and backward. Open the 
quick release lever on each strider pole and slide the pole up or down (Fig. 3B-5b). Use the etched indicator marks on the black 
poles to set them at the same height. To make sure the poles are symmetric, put both joints # 2 in the same position by moving 
the crank arms to the 12 and 6 o’clock position, then rotate the strider poles so they are mirror images (Fig. 3B-5c). Lock each 
quick release lever.   

 

  Folding the JET for Transport or Storage                                                                                   

 

Figure 3B-6 a, b, c. Folding the JET for transport or storage 

To fold the JET for transport or storage, move the right crank to the 9 o’clock position (Fig. 3B-6a). This will allow you to extend 
the telescoping tube out of the strider ski. To extend the telescoping tube, loosen the quick release lever, locate and depress the 
button, grip the tube near the quick release lever and push out with your thumb on the lever (Fig. 3B-6b). The telescoping tube 
will slide out until the button snaps into the other hole (Fig. 3B-6c), then lock the quick release lever. The two joints #2 are now in 
the same front position, ready for folding the head tube. To fold the head tube, lift up the front quick release lever, rotate the stem 
forward, then move the T-pin to the left out of the hole (Fig. 3B-7a), and fold down the head tube. Use the StreetStrider Velcro 
wrapping strap to tightly secure the front frame and strider poles together (Fig. 3B-7b). The StreetStrider JET is ready to take 
anywhere (Fig. 3B-7c)!
