5. INSTALL PEDALS. Required tool – 15mm open-end wrench, or adjustable wrench
CAUTION: The right pedal has right-hand threads and must be installed in the right crankarm, tightening in
a clockwise direction. The left pedal has left-hand threads and must be installed in the left crankarm,
tightening in a counter-clockwise direction. To avoid cross-threading, carefully start and tighten pedals by hand.
Then tighten securely with a 15mm wrench.
6. INSTALL SADDLE AND ADJUST SADDLE HEIGHT. Required tools – 13mm wrench or adjustable wrench
and a Phillips head screwdriver
The seat and seat post were removed for shipping. If the rear reflector is not on the seatpost slide it onto the seatpost
before installing. Loosen seat binder bolt, slide seatpost to desired height, and tighten seat binder bolt.
WARNING: The seatpost may be raised or lowered for comfort, but it should never be raised above the “minimum
insertion line” marked on the seatpost.
Pedals are marked “L” and
“R” on their spindles.
Place right pedal into right
crankarm and turn
clockwise.
Insert left pedal into left
crankarm and turn counter-
clockwise.
To raise or lower seatpost,
loosen seat binder bolt with a
13mm wrench. When set to
desired height, tighten.
To determine proper saddle
height, position right pedal at
the bottom of its revolution,
aligned with the seat tube.
While sitting on saddle, place
your heel on right pedal. Your
leg should be fully extended.
Adjust saddle height if
necessary and repeat. Now
place the ball of your foot
directly over the center of the
pedal (normal riding position).
This should result in the
correct bend at the knee.
