DERAILLEUR GEARED BICYCLES

Includes 20”, 24”, 26” Wheel Mountain Bikes

Assembly is the same for men and women’s bikes.

Getting Started

Open the carton from the top and remove the bicycle. Remove the straps

and protective wrapping from the bicycle. Inspect the bicycle and all

accessories and parts for possible shortages. It is recommended that the

threads and all moving parts be lubricated prior to installation. Do not

discard packing materials until assembly is complete to insure that no

required parts are accidentally discarded. Assemble your bicycle following

the steps that pertain to your model. NOTE: Your bicycle may be equipped

with different style components than the ones illustrated.

Handlebars

Remove the protective cap from the handlebar stem wedge and loosen

the Allen key bolt using the 6mm Allen key. Some models may use a

13mm hexagonal bolt instead of an Allen key bolt. Place the handlebar

stem into the top of the head tube, ensuring that all cables are free of

tangles. Tighten the stem bolt observing the minimum insertion mark and

checking that the forks and the handlebars are facing forward. Check the

headset for smooth rotation and the top nut is secured tightly. Loosen the

6mm Binder Bolt and rotate the handlebar. Retighten the Binder Bolt to

ensure the handlebar does not rotate in the stem. NOTE: Some bicycles

may be equipped with a stem that has an adjustable angle. In addition

to the normal assembly, these stems will require angling the stem to the

desired position, and securely tightening the 6mm angle bolt located in

the front of the stem bolt. Failure to do this may cause loss of steering

control.

Warning: Over-tightening the stem bolt or the headset

assembly may cause damage to the bicycle and/or injury

to the rider.

Shifter binder bolt (2.5 Allen key) ASSEMBLY 1. Brake lever binder bolt (5mm Allen key) Bar end (5mm Allen key) Tighten all bolts that clamp the shifters, brakes levers, and bar end to the handlebar using a 5mm Allen key or Phillips head screwdriver.

Seat and Seat Post Seat Post Adjusting Nut Quick Release Attach Seat Here Note: In addition to normal assembly, please be aware that the preload adjusting screw must be flush with the bottom of the post. Failure to do this may cause irreparable damage. Boot Minimum Insertion Mark NOTE: Comfort bicycles may be equipped with a suspension seat post (See Diagram-bottom left). Some suspension posts can be adjusted for stiffness using the preload adjusting screw.

ASSEMBLY Pedals & Crank Set Dust Cap Look for the letters “R” for right, and “L” for left, stamped on each pedal spindle. Start each pedal spindle by hand to avoid stripping the threads. Tighten with a 15mm narrow open-ended wrench. Note that the right hand pedal attaches to the chainwheel side crank arm with a right-hand (clockwise) thread. The left pedal attaches to the other crank arm and has a left-hand (counter-clockwise) thread.

Quick Release Adjusting Axle Nut Hub Spring Check the wheel hub before attaching in to the fork by rotating the threaded axle. It should be smooth with no lateral movement. Insert the front wheel into the fork dropouts. Tighten the wheel nuts using the appropriate 14mm or 15mm wrench. Spin the wheel nuts using the appropriate 14mm or 15mm wrench. Spin the wheel checking for trueness.

The wheel is tightly secured when the serrated surfaces of the quick release clamping parts actually begin to cut into the bicycle frame/fork surfaces. 6. Note that the same procedure applies when operating a quick release seat post binder mechanism. Warning – Correct adjustment of the quick release is vitally important to avoid an accident caused by loose wheel. Cantilever Brakes 1. Install the cable into the link wire. Cable End 2.

Check your Brakes Brake pad aligned with the rim surface Pad and rim should be parallel. Direction of rim rotation ASSEMBLY Press each brake lever to make sure that there is no binding and that the brake pads press hard enough on the rims to stop the bike. The brake pads should be adjusted so they are 1mm to 2mm away from the rim when the brakes are not applied. Brake pads should be centered on the rim and the rear portion of each brake pad should be about 0.5 – 1.

Disconnect the front derailleur cable from the cable anchor bolt. Check the position of the front derailleur; it should be parallel with the outer chainwheel and clear the largest chainwheel by 3-5mm when fully engaged.

Dual Suspension ASSEMBLY Dual suspension bikes are equipped with a front fork as well as a rear suspension generally located below the seat. The piston works in conjunction with a spring to allow the bike to rotate on a pivot point. Ensure all attaching hardware is secured and there is no lateral movement of the rear triangle. The amount of rear suspension travel can be adjusted by turning the adjustment plate.

Size, shape, and compounds will vary between models; however, operating principles are the same. A shaft will pivot inside of two bushings secured in place with bolts. Pivots should be kept clean and free from grime and should be disassembled and regreased at least once a riding season.

Accessories Saddle Bag ASSEMBLY Frame Bag Reflector Reflector Reflector Water bottle and cage If your bike is supplied with a water bottle and cage, attach the cage to the bicycle using the Allen bolts provided. Some bikes come equipped with a saddlebag or frame bag. The saddlebag installs under the seat with the zipper facing the rear wheel. Undo the straps that wrap around the bag, thread them through the rails underneath the seat and secure around the bag.

Final Check Check the tire pressure and inflate each tube to the recommended psi as stated on the sidewall of the tire. Check that the kickstand operates smoothly and the kickstand bolt is secured tightly. Finally, examine the bicycle. Make sure all accessories are attached and all quick releases, nuts and bolts have been tightened securely. ASSEMBLY After all adjustments have been made, shift through every gear several times at varying speeds.
