Angle the saddle so that it is parallel to the ground or at a preferred angle for
comfort when seated on the bicycle.
Tighten the bolts on opposite sides of the seat post connector with a 14mm or
adjustable wrench. Alternate sides after each rotation to tighten evenly: tighten one
side a full rotation, then the opposite side a full rotation, and vice-versa until each
bolt is completely tight and there is no movement in the saddle angle.
Connecting the pedals
Your bike includes a set of pedals. The pedals are
marked on the end of the pedal axle: “R” for “Right” and
“L” for “Left.” When seated on the bike, your right foot
would correspond to the right pedal and your left foot
would correspond to the left pedal.
Choose a pedal and start threading into the corresponding crank arm by hand
turning the pedal axle toward the front of the bike (both pedals thread in this
direction). If it does not thread easily do not force it and double check that you are
threading the appropriate pedal.
Forcing the wrong pedal will damage the threading
on your pedal and crank arm.
