These are instructions for properly attaching a FreeRadical to a bicycle. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS PRECISELY MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH! Conversely, following these
instructions precisely may result in healthy robustness and increased life expectancy! This
installation should only be undertaken by a professional bicycle mechanic. Please read through the
entire assembly instructions before proceeding.
Tools required for installation and adjustment:
5mm allen wrench
6mm allen wrench
8mm allen wrench
adjustable wrench
cable and housing cutter
phillips-head screwdriver
chain tool
metric ruler˚
repair stand (optional)
!
WARNING
Slide the Special Nuts into the bike’s
dropouts, positioning the Tongue above the
bike s chainstay bridge (or kickstand
plate if it has one). Do not tighten the
bolts yet.
NOTE: Attaching the FreeRadical is easiest
with the bike held upside-down in a repair
stand. If you don’t have a repair stand,
remove the bike’s seat to work upside-down
(the bike, not you) with greater
stability.
Insert the two short bolts (or the
optional Quick Release skewers, if
included) into the Dropout Bosses from the
outside, loosely placing the Special Nuts
(see "Step 3 continued" to determine
whether the Spacer Washers not shown
here are needed).
Okay, go!
Remove the chain, rear derailleur,
rear brakes, rear wheel, and kickstand
from the bike to which the FreeRadical
will be attached.
