GEARS
3-Speed Models: The gears on this model come adjusted from the factory.
If the gears need adjustment:
- Position the gear shift lever in 3rd gear (Fig. 18) - Remove the plastic cover from the right
side of the rear wheel at the axle. Loosen the locknut at the gear cable adjusting barrel.
Tighten or loosen the adjusting barrel until you just take the slack out of the cable (Fig. 19).
Do not over tighten the cable. Tighten the locknut against the adjusting barrel and re-attach
the plastic cover.
When Shifting Gears: Momentarily stop pedaling or lighten your pedaling pressure when shifting.
7-Speed models: The gears in this model comes adjusted from the factory. If the gears need
adjustment, please have this done by a professional bike shop.
When Shifting Gears: You must be pedaling with light pedal pressure while shifting to allow the
chain to shift from one gear to another. For best results shift one gear at a time.
TIRES
Locate the tire manufacturer's recommended inflation pressure found on the tire
sidewall (listed as "PSI").
Using a hand or floor pump with a gauge, begin to inflate the tire to half its
recommended inflation pressure and check to see that the tire is properly seated
on the rim. Be sure to inspect both sides of the tire for proper fit.
If the tire is seated unevenly or bulges out along the rim, let some air out of the tire and
reposition the tire by hand so that it sits evenly on the rim.
Continue to inflate the tire to the manufacturer's recommended pressure.
Do not exceed the recommended pressure as this will cause an unsafe condition
potentially causing the tire to unexpectedly explode.
Do not use a compressed air device to inflate your tires as the rapid inflation of the tire
can cause it to blow off the rim.
Tires and tubes are not warranted against damage caused by over-inflation or punctures
from road hazards.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
We strongly recommend you take your bike to a professional bike shop and have them
check your work and fine tune the bike to ensure your bike is safe to ride.
