Installing the Pedals
You will find a single pedal in your small
parts box. This pedal is stamped “R” for
Right. The left pedal should be located
on the bike and clearly market “L” for
Left, on the ends of the axle shaft to
differentiate between right and left.
1. Align the right pedal axle into the
threaded hole in the right crank arm
and secure it in the crank by hand.
The right hand side of the bicycle is
the side of the bicycle with the chain.
2. The
right
pedal is installed by turning
the pedal axle clockwise. The
left
pedal is installed by turning its axle
counterclockwise (Fig. 11).
3. When hand-tight, use the 15mm
pedal wrench (in small parts box) to

3. When you are satisfied with the
height of the seatpost, close the
seatpost quick release lever. The
tightness of the lever is adjusted by
rotating the adjustment nut opposite
the quick release lever. Turn the nut
by hand to adjust the tension while
holding the lever stable (Fig. 9 page
21).
4. The lever is securely tightened when
it leaves an imprint on the palm of
your hand from pushing it closed.
5. Once the lever is securely closed,
you should not be able to move it
unless you open it again. If you can
move the seat up and down or side
to side with the quick release lever
in the closed position, repeat the
seatpost installation process from
step 3. Repeat until the seat cannot
be moved when the quick release
lever is closed.
6. If you have adjusted the nut too
tightly and cannot push the lever
to the “close” position, open the
quick release lever again and
turn the adjusting nut 1/4 turn
counterclockwise. Continue with
Step 3.
7. Adjust the height for comfort of the
rider. The saddle is properly adjusted
when you can sit on the saddle, and
with your knee only slightly bent
(approximately 15º), reach the pedal
at its lowest point with the ball of your
foot.

Do not try to insert the wrong pedal
into the crank, as it will strip the crank
threads. Always check that the pedals
are securely tightened before riding.
