3. Apply a thin layer of grease to the section of the seat post that will be inside the frame.
4. Insert the seat post into the frame.
5. Adjust the seat to the proper height, align it, and tighten the seat post binder bolt.
4.3 PEDALS
Once a year, have your dealer re-grease the pedal bearings. Once a year re-grease the pedal axles where they thread
into the crank arms.
Note:
There are right and left pedals, usually marked with a letter stamped on the end of the pedal axle,
or on the wrench flats.
1. Remove the pedals; turn the right pedal spindle counter-clockwise, but turn the left clockwise.
2. Apply a layer of grease over all the threads.
3. Install the pedals on the proper side; put the right pedal on the right crank arm and the left pedal on the
left crank arm.
4. Tighten the pedals.
