determine
that

are
not
stopping
quickly
enough
or
your

lever,
you
can
adjust
the

your disc brakes or adjust the disc brake actuator. Before performing the “clamping pressure
adjustment”,
make
sure
that
the
brake

is
fully
depressed. This can be checked by fully depressing the brake lever and checking to make sure
that additional actuator movement is not possible by moving the actuator by hand.

TEERING COLUMN AND FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
If your front wheel is not perfectly lined up with your handle bars then you need to make an
adjustment to the front wheel lock mechanism. To adjust:
1. Using our Fold n Lock™ Technology, fold down the front
steering column by lifting the front lever and pulling the
latch down through the notch and clamp. With one
hand on the steering column use one finger from your
opposite hand to slide the latch sideways until the
steering column releases.
2. Use a 6mm Allen wrench to loosen the center screw
from the front wheel lock mechanism.
3. After the screw is loosened from the front wheel,
adjustments can be made and aligned as needed.
4. After adjustment, fully re-tighten the screw to secure
the alignment.
