Prepare the spindles
Spindles connect the front wheels to the handlebars and steering mechanism.
• First, identify the right and left spindles
Mount the brake calipers on the spindles. The left-hand assembly has the brake caliper
on top, and the right hand has the brake caliper underneath. Use the provided M6
washers between the head of the calipers mounting brackets and the plates to space
out the bolt.
Install the spindles with headsets into the head tubes
• Remove the top half of the head set assembly and slide the spindle up into the head
tube. Reinstall the Teflon bearing and dust cover on the spindle. Install the handle bar
support tube onto the spindle without tightening the bolts. For standard handlebar
positioning, the handle bar supports should angle slightly up, not down (700 probably
best to install handle bar support angled down). Reinstall the head set top cap and
tighten it to 10 inch-pounds (or enough to eliminate play while leaving the wheels to
turn freely). Now adjust the handle bars in the proper position and tighten them down.
