3.6 Chainring Assembly:
•
Crank arms should be installed 180° from each other.
•
Slide chainring and crankarm over the bottom bracket.
•
Using an 8mm hex wrench. Tighten the crank arm to 38nm of torque.
•
Check the left side crank arm as well. It should be very tight, 38nm.
•
Finally, wrap the chain around the chainring and the drive side is now assembled. NOTE:
Sometimes the chain can be tangled in transit. It can be untangled and does not have to be
removed to be properly installed.
3.7 Detailed Torque Settings:
Saddle Clamp Bolt: 16-17nm (or as noted on seat post)
Crank Arms: 39nm
Compression Cap (bolt): 4-5nm (make sure steering is still free but fork is not loose or wobbly)
Stem/Steerer Clamp: 8-9nm (or as noted on stem)
Handlebar Clamp: 8-9nm ( or as noted on stem - tighten evenly in a cross pattern so the gap at
each bolt is the same)
3.8 Adjust Derailleur and Shifter:
Verify your shifter and derailleur are properly adjusted. When you first assemble your bike, your derailleur may need
to be tuned if you hear any noise while shifting or if it is not shifting smoothly. Or lastly, if the chain is shifting past
the largest or smallest cog.
