General:
Ensure all nuts and bolts are tightened every 1-2 weeks. Check regularly for any damaged parts, fork alignment and the
positioning of components.
Brakes:
Ensure the brakes are adjusted correctly as per assembly instructions. Ensure to clean any dirt accumulation that occurs on
the bike rim that may interfere with braking.
Control/Brake Cables:
These cables may stretch with use. Inspect regularly and replace if damaged. Do not allow the cables to kink.
Front Fork:
Bent or damaged fork should be replaced immediately. Do not attempt to repair the fork by straightening it.
Headset (interface between the fork to the bike frame):
Ensure locknut is tight while allowing the fork to turn freely.
Front Wheel:
The wheel should be cantered in the front fork with axle nuts tight. The hub is sealed against dirt and moisture, however,
it should be inspected periodically, especially after riding in water. Remove the front wheel and turn the axle with your hands. It
should move freely, with very little friction or play.
Crank Bearing:
The crank bearing should also be inspected after a wet or muddy ride. The spindle should turn freely without moving
side to side. Keep the lockring tight and the bearing well-greased.
Crank and Pedals:
Replace bent cranks and chainrings if required. Do not attempt to straighten. Pedals will require greasing occa-
sionally, especially after riding in water. After the first 50 miles/80 KM, tighten crank bolts, and check chainring bolts and pedal
spindles.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
PROPER SEAT HEIGHT
Tools Required for Assembly
Fitting the Rider to the Bike
To determine the correct size of bike for the rider, straddle the
assembled bike with feet shoulder width apart and flat on the
ground. There must be at least one inch of clearance between the
highest part of the top tube and the crotch of the rider. The min-
imum leg-length for the rider is the highest part of the top tube
plus 25mm. The rider must be able to easily reach and operate
the brake levers (if so equipped).
To determine the correct seat height, check the seat to pedal dis-
tance by having your child sit on the seat. The child's leg should
be slightly bent and on the pedal. If the foot does not reach, adjust
the seat height accordingly. Be sure the seat is tight and secure
before your child rides.
