STEP 5: PEDALS:
Locate the pedal stamped “R” on the end of the spindle (his is the RIGHT pedal).
(Figure 10)
.
RECOMMENDED; Apply some grease to the pedal threads prior to installation.
Carefully insert the right pedal into the right side crank arm (the side with the chain) and thread it clockwise
(Figure 11)
.You should be able to thread the pedal in part of the way by hand with minor resistance. If it seems
difficult and binds, stop, remove the pedal, realign the threads and try again. Be sure you are turning the right pedal
axle in a clockwise direction!
Tighten the pedal with a 15mm or adjustable wrench until the pedal is securely attached to the crank arm. The pedals
need to be tightened with a considerable amount of force so that they do not come lose.
Locate the pedal stamped “L” on the end of the spindle (this is the LEFT pedal), apply some grease to the left crank,
and insert your left pedal into the left side crank arm.
Thread it counterclockwise
(Figure 12)
.and tighten with a 15mm or adjustable wrench following the instructions in
step #3 above.
NOTE:
Be sure to tighten both pedals with an adjustable wrench or 15mm open end wrench to the recommended torque
specification otherwise they will unscrew while riding causing an unsafe condition for the rider and damaging the
threads in the crank.

BRAKES:
NOTE:
We highly recommend taking your bike to a local bike shop and having your brakes set-up
by a professional mechanic before your first ride.
Your Amok 8 is equipped with cable actuated disc brakes. The factory has adjusted the brakes for
you but minor adjustments may still be necessary.
It is normal for the rotating disc to make some contact with the brake shoes and make a slight
hissing sound as the wheel goes around. If the brake disc rubs on the brake pads excessively, do
the following:
First make sure that the wheel is fully inserted into the drop-outs and centered in the frame or the
fork. If this does not resolve the issue then try the following:
Loosen the two brake caliper mounting bolts
(Figure 13)
so that the caliper is free to move a bit.
While squeezing the brake lever, tighten the caliper mounting bolts alternating between the two a
little at a time until both are tight. This should center the caliper around the brake disc.
GEARS - 8 Speed Models:
NOTE:
We highly recommend taking your bike to a local bike shop and having your gears set-up
by a professional mechanic.
The gears come set up from the factory but they will typically require fine tuning by a professional
bike shop.
NOTE:
You must be pedaling with light pedal pressure while shifting for the gears to shift. For
best results shift one gear at a time and always downshift into an easier gear before coming to a
complete stop
