Assembling the Bike
All references to the right or left side and to the front or back are made as if you were sitting on
the exercise bike ready for use. For example, the chain guard is on the right side of the bike and
the flywheel is at the front.

You will need the following tools and materials to assemble the X-Bike™ Indoor

With the help of an assistant, lift the bike frame out of the carton and remove all protective
packaging.

Fit the legs onto the frame ensuring that the leg with the wheels is fitted to the front and the
leg without wheels is fitted to the back. Make sure that the wheels are facing towards the
front and that the feet are facing downwards. Insert the M10 bolts provided facing
downwards ensuring that you have a washer above and below the leg. Fit the M10 Nut and
tighten securely.
Note:
If you are having difficulties threading the nut onto the bolt, with assistance prop up
the base leg and the frame on wooden blocks to gain easier access to the nut underneath.
4.
Adjust the 4 leveller feet to ensure that each corner is fully supported on the floor. Once
adjusted, lock the position by tightening the lock wing nut inside the leveller feet.

position.

To fit the X-Bars™ Handlebar System Head unit, you must first fit the adaptor. This will
give access to the main X-Bars frame internally. The adaptor should be fitted so that the head
post is facing downwards and towards the rear of the assembly.
