Assembling Bike to Base Frame
Step 1: Carefully lower the bike onto the base frame over the base screws, with
the front of the bike facing the transport wheels on the Base Frame. (Fig. 1)
Step 2: Insert one washer on each of the four base frame studs. (Fig. 1)
Step 3: Install the acorn nuts on the studs and hand tighten. Torque the acorn
nuts with a 16mm or 5/8” crowfoot and torque wrench to 45 Nm (35 ft-lbs) using a
16mm, or 5/8 inch open-end wrench to hold in position. (Fig. 2)
BIKE ASSEMBLY
To calibrate the computer:
The shifter lever must be in the down
position. Holding a pedal, rotate
the crank arm in any direction to
switch the computer on. Once the
computer is on, stop rotating the crank
arm. Move the shifter lever from full
bottom to full top a minimum of five times
(Fig. 12). When you see the computer
display a set of number fives (55:55)
in the time display, the computer is
calibrated.

WARNING!
Failing to install the pedals with
Loctite 242, or crossing the threads will
damage them, and could result in
serious injury to the user.
Mounting Handlebar Assembly
Step 1: Obtain the handlebar assembly, 6mm Allen wrench, and the socket head
cap screws (M8x1.25 X 12 SS). Observe the location of the two mounting flanges
on the handlebar post. Place the handlebar assembly on the post mounts, aligning
the mounting holes. (Fig. 10)
Step 2: Tilt the handlebar assembly slightly to place the socket head cap screws
(M8x1.25 X 12 SS) into the mounting holes (Fig. 11). Once each screw has been
started, place the palm of one hand on the center of the handlebar pressing firmly
and evenly onto the handlebar post. With the other hand tighten each screw with
the Allen wrench until the head of each screw just makes contact with each hole.
Now tighten each screw evenly.
