OWNERS
MANUAL
NOte: in the instructions,
right
and
left hand
sides of the bike
are as
you
would
be seated
in the
riding
position
on the bike.
Tools needed:
3 & Smm
hex key
(allen
wrench)
15mm
wrench
(or
adjustable
wrench)
1. Upon
receiving
your
bike, carefully open the shipping
carton and examine the con-
tents. You should
f ind
several
assemblies, the f rame/handlebar, wheels/tires,
seat,
and steering
link, and
Linear
bag
with reflectors,
pedals,
shifterchain, rack
adapter
if ordered.
The order of
assembly
isn't important. You
may choose to mount the wheels
and
tires first so
that
the frame does not
get
scratched
by the floor.
2.
MOUNTING
THE
WHEELS
-
lf
you
have
a
quick
release
brake do the
following.
Release
the
rear
brake
assembly so that the
wheel
and tire
will f it
through it more
easily.
Using
your
hand, squeeze
the
brake
pads
together and using
your
other
hand,
pull
downward
and
outward
on the cable
release lever
(the
small silver
lever
on the
right hand
side
of the brake
assembly
where the
cable comes
into
the
unit).
The
cable
DOES NOT
have
to
be
loosened
to
accomplish
this step. This
method
of
releasing the
brakes
will
be
needed if
you
ever
have a
flat
or
need
to
remove
the
wheel/tire from bike. The front wheel
goes
into the front
fork in a conventional
manner using the
quick
release
skewer to
hold
it
in
place.
The
rear wheel
goes
into the slots on
the rear
"drop
outs"
(the
curved
part
of
the
f rame that
goes
downward
with the derailleur
mounted to
it). Be
sure
the wheel axle
seats
into the slot all
the
way
to the
rear. The
lock washer
goes
on the outside of
the frame,
just
under
the nut that
holds the axle
in
place.
This
prevents
the nut from
loosening
up and the
axle
moving fonruard
in the frame slots.
Be
sure
to tighten both
nuts on the rear axle using
the 1Smm
wrench.

ADJUSTING
THE
SACHS
SIFTING/BRAKE
LEVERs-Adjustthe
angle of
the
brake
levers to
your
riding
style and
comfort
then tighten the
locking
clamps.
After
adjusting
the brake
levers,
using
a 3mm
hex key, tighten
the
Sachs shifters on the
handlebars so
they will not rotate.
To
adjust
the Sachs
shifter
for
the
rear
hub, twist the
shifter on the
left handlebar to the
"3"
(highest gear)
position.
Take
the cable that runs to
the
rear
hub
(the
one
with
the small, black
block on it).
Make
sure the chain coming out of
the
hub
is fully
"relaxed"
with
no
tension on
it. Taking the black block in
one
hand
and the
chain
in
the other, simply slide
the
chain
into the
block until all slack
is removed.
