Fitting the front wheel:
First, remove the pad-spacer (usually yellow in colour) from between the front brake pads.
You can fit the wheel in one of two ways, you can either flip the bike upside down and lower the wheel into
position, or you can lower the forks on to the axle.
As you fit the wheel, ensure that the rotor is on the
correct side (the left) and that as the wheel is fitted, the rotor is correctly positioned between the calli-
pers. Do not attempt to force the wheel, if there is resistance, then you may need to pay more attention
to the rotor in relation to the callipers as you fit the wheel. Once the wheel is fully seated, tighten the
nuts either side to secure the it in place.
Handlebars cont.
It is possible to bring the handlebars upwards and towards the rider or to have them lower and further from
the rider. To make this adjustment, loosen the bolt shown below-left, then adjust the position to suit. Tight-
en the bolt to secure them in position. Once done, you will likely need to loosen the clamp and rotate the
bar itself until the brake levers etc. are at the proper angle. Again, ensure the four clamp bolts are proper-
ly tightened after any adjustments have been made.
