ASSEMBLING YOUR MONTAGUE BICYCLE
CONTINUED
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.
Installing the Pedals
You will find both pedals in your small
parts box. The pedals are marked and
stamped “R” for Right, and “L” for Left.
The crank arms are also clearly marked
“R” and “L” to to differentiate between
right and left.
Each pedal can only be installed on
the corresponding side of the bike, as
they thread on in opposite directions.
The right pedal threads on clockwise,
as normal. The left pedal threads on by
turning it counter-clockwise.
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. 24).
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

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.
