1.- FITTING THE HANDLEBAR

A Insert the handlebar into the frame. If necessary loosen the stem bolt at the top of the handlebars and stem to allow the wedge nut to move freely. Make sure the minimum insertion mark is not visible once this is fitted. The handlebar must be inserted beyond this point.

B The handlebar must be straight. Align this with the fork by looking downwards at it. The brakes must be facing the front of the bike. Use the allen key to tighten the bolt on top of the handlebar stem. Do not fully tighten until the end as you may need to adjust the height.

2.- FITTING THE SADDLE

A Insert saddle into frame. Make sure the minumum insertion mark is not visible once this is fitted. The saddle must be inserted beyond this point

B Using the spanner provided, lock the seat in position by turning bolt in a clockwise direction. Do not fully tighten until the end as you may need to adjust the height.

A Before fitting the front wheel, you must open the brake arms by releasing the brake cable:

i Pull rubber cable protector to the right so you can see the brake cable inside it. Squeeze brake arms together.
ii Pull the noodle out by moving it left then up and out of the metal housing

B Turn the bike upside down. Loosen the nuts on the front wheel axle by turning anti-clockwise - you need enough thread showing on the axle so the wheel slots easily onto the fork. Make sure the locking washers are on the outside of the fork as shown.

C Locking washers must be positioned correctly in this step:

Place the pointed side of the locking washer into the hole on the fork. Make sure the gap between the wheel and the fork is equal on both sides.

ii Tighten the nut with the spanner provided.

D Once the wheel is in place and tight, turn the bike the right way up

i Squeeze the brake arms together

ii Slot the brake cable noodle into the slot as shown

THE PIN ON THE LOCKING WASHER MUST BE PLACED IN THE HOLE.

SPANNER

To fit the pedals correctly, you must position them the correct way around and screw them on in the right direction:

i Stickers indicate the left and right pedal. If these have dropped off, look at the end of the thread where it is imprinted.
ii The correct pedal needs to be attached to the matching side of the bike i.e. left pedal to left side and right pedal to right side.
iii IMPORTANT! Pedals need screwing in opposite directions so they don't fall off in use.
Left pedal is screwed in anti-clockwise / Right pedal is screwed in clockwise. Tighten pedals with spanner provided.
