: Install Front Wheel
Disconnect the front brake arms (“calipers”). First, slide the black rubber housing to the side so
that it is out of the way. With your fingers squeeze the left and right brake calipers together, and
then slide the cable “noodle” out of the cut-out cradle. Once complete, the brake pads should
be easily sitting open with no pressure.
Remove the hard plastic fork protector from the dropouts of the front fork.
Ensure the tire is properly oriented in the forward direction before installing the front wheel.
Look for the “
” on the tire wall indicating the forward rotational direction.
Place the front wheel axle into the dropouts of the front fork. Keep the safety washers on the
outside of each fork dropout and insert the safety tabs into the small holes on the fork.
Tighten the axle bolts (using the 4mm Allen Wrench). Be sure the bolts are secure but not
overtightened, as overtightening could damage the fork. A firm hand tightening is perfect.
Reconnect the front brake calipers. With your fingers squeeze the left and right brake calipers
together above the wheel until the brake pads are touching the wheel rims. Then slide the cable
“noodle” back into cut-out cradle so that it seats securely. Slide the black rubber housing back
into place so that it covers the end of the “noodle.”

: Install Pedals
Frog pedals are stamped with Right (R) and Left (L) on the end cap of each spindle. Installing the
correct pedal into the correct side is very important as the pedals are each threaded oppositely
(Left pedals are reverse threaded).
Insert the Right pedal into the rider’s Right crank arm (on the drivetrain side). Turn the pedal
CLOCKWISE until it is firmly secured.
Insert the Left pedal into the rider’s Left crank arm. Turn the pedal COUNTERCLOCKWISE
until it is firmly secured.
Using a 15mm Spanner or Adjustable Wrench can be very helpful in installing
your pedals. Please see our video online for a demonstration of this installation method.
This is typically the trickiest part of assembling your Frog. Please visit our Frog Bike
Assembly & Support page online for a video demonstration.
