ASSEMBLING YOUR BIKE
PREPARATION
It is important that you read this owner’s manual before you start to assemble your bicycle. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU
CONSULT A PROFESSIONAL BICYCLE MECHANIC IF YOU HAVE DOUBTS OR CONCERNS AS TO YOUR ABILITY TO
PROPERLY ASSEMBLE, REPAIR, OR MANITAIN YOUR BICYCLE. Remove all parts from the shipping carton. Check to
make sure no parts are loose on the bottom of the carton. Carefully remove the front wheel which is attached to the side of
the bicycle for shipping. Carefully remove all other packing material from the bicycle. This includes zip ties, axle caps and
material protecting the frame.
FRONT WHEEL
1. Remove the nuts, washers and wheel retainers from the front wheel axle, if
necessary. If these are not on the wheel axle, they will be included int he
hardware bag.
2. Slide the wheel onto the open ends of the fork. Slip an axle retainer onto each
end of the axle, and hook the retainers into the holes in the fork end. Loosely
install the washer onto each end of the axle (serrated end toward the retainer),
then intall the hex nut. (Note: there may be a washer head nut in place of the
washer and hex nut).
3. Center the wheel in the fork and tighten the axle nuts securely, alternating
from one side to the other.
4. Spin the wheel to make sure that it is centered in the fork and does not
wobble. If the wheel is not centered, loosen the nuts and try again.
Torque requirement: 16-20 ft lbs.
