Cranks, carriage and pedals
Bicycle pedals are xed to the connecting rods using a threaded connection. Before installing
the pedals, apply a little thick grease to the threads, this will prevent the pedals from «sticking»
to the connecting rods. After each pedal is installed on its own side (on the right pedal — the
right thread, on the left — the left one), extend the pedal axles in the connecting rods with the
recommended effort.
Attention! In case of detection of extraneous sounds in the carriage assembly, it is necessary
to stop the operation of the bicycle and carry out diagnostics. Adjusting the carriage and
connecting rods requires professional knowledge and skills and therefore must be carried out
by a qualied specialist at the seller or at an authorized service center.
Steering column adjustment
Such adjustment may be required if a play is detected
in the steering column. It must be carried out exclusively
by a qualied specialist from the seller or an authorized
service center.
— Loosen the outrigger mount.
— Tighten the steering column tightening screw clockwise
until the play is completely removed. Make sure that the
torque is not too large — the fork in the steering column
must rotate freely.
Attention! This operation directly affects the
serviceability and resource of the steering column,
therefore we strongly recommend that you entrust it to a
professional bicycle mechanic.

Switch Cable Adjustment
— Over time, the cables tend to stretch. Therefore, their adjustment may be required. If as a
result of switching speeds one of the switches does not transfer the chain to a large gear, then
the cable tension should be increased. To do this, turn the nut a little counterclockwise on the
corresponding bracket.
— If as a result of switching speeds one of the switches does not transfer the chain to a smaller
gear, then the cable tension should be loosened. To do this, turn the nut a little clockwise on the
corresponding bracket.
Front derailleur adjustment
— Install the front derailleur on the seat tube so that the derailleur frame is parallel to the plane
of the gears.
