Step One: Mount Main Frame on Base Frame
Tools required: four bolts, eight washers, and four acorn nuts, torque wrench, 5/8” wrench, 5/8”
socket
Place the four washers on the bolts, and place the bolts in the holes on the base frame.
Put a stack of cardboard between the bolts and the floor. This will protect the floor,
while preventing the bolts from backing out as you place the main frame on the base
frame.
Peel the top layer off of the adhesive strip on the base frame. Use the bolts to guide the
main frame into the correct position onto the adhesive. Note:failure to correctly align
the main frame on the adhesive may result in the tearing of the adhesive while trying to
correctly reposition the main frame.

The Base Frame has a front and rear. The rear of the Base Frame has caster wheels.
Place the Main Frame behind the Base Frame; use the flywheel to roll the Main Frame up
onto the Base Frame. The flywheel should be situated between the rear caster wheels.
rear
Start one bolt by placing a washer and then the acorn nut loosely onto the bolt. Place
washers and acorn nuts on the remaining three bolts. When all are in place, hold the nut
in place with the socket, and tighten acorn nuts with a 5/8” torque wrench to 35 ft-lb.
Step Two: Slide in handle bar
Tools required: Phillips screwdriver, paper clip
Remove the four screws from the plastic cover on the upper portion of the neck of the
bike frame. Slide in the handlebars with the bars pointing away from the seat.
Neck with cover Neck without cover
Straighten out the paper clip. The paper clip will be used to support the dowel as you
insert it through the holes in the handle bar. Line up the holes of the handle bar with the
holes in the neck of the bike frame. Note: there are two different lengths of dowels. If
the wrong length is used, the handlebar will not move. Take the shorter of the two white
plastic dowels, and insert it in the hole in the neck closest to the base of the bike. Be
careful to insure that the dowel has passed through both holes of the handle bar tube. Use
the end of the paperclip to push it all the way into the handle bar.

Service Department (800) 888-70094
Pull the handle bar up, and then use the paper clip to insert the longer of the two dowels
in the same hole as the first dowel. Replace the plastic cover on the neck and make sure
the cover is snapped in correctly before replacing the four screws. Warning: You only
need to make the screws snug – do not overtighten, as it may cause the plastic on the
neck cover to crack.
Step Three: Attach handle stud assembly on neck
Screw in the handle stud assembly clockwise on the front of the bike neck.
Step Four: Attach Shifter
Tools required: Phillips screwdriver
Take the cable to the resistance shifter and raise the shifter to the top of the handlebars.
Slide the shifter on with the resistance handle on the right-hand side with the cable
running down the front side of the handle bar. Use a Phillips screwdriver to screw the
shifter into place. Tighten the screw until it is snug – do not overtighten.
Step Five: Attach Pedals
Tools required: Loctite 242, torque wrench
The right side pedal (side with chain) has right-hand threads (clockwise rotation) and the left side
pedal has left-hand threads (counter-clockwise rotation). Most pedals are marked indicating
which pedal is for the left side (marked with an “L”) and right side (marked with an “R”). Apply
a small amount of Loctite 242 to the thread of the left pedal and attach the pedal to the crank arm.
Be careful not to cross the threads. Pedal should be tightened (counter-clockwise) with the torque
wrench to approximately 35 ft-lb. Warning: Failing to install the crank arms with Loctite 242,

or crossing the threads will ruin the crank arms and void the warranty. In no case should the
pedals be left loose on the crank arms as the pedals may pull out of the crank arms damaging
them and causing serious injury.
Apply Loctite 242
Place the Loctite 242 on the thread of the second pedal, place it on the right-hand crank arm,
tighten clockwise finger tight, and finish with a torque wrench by tightening to 35 ft-lbs.
Maneuvering and Storing Bike
To maneuver the bike stand behind it, grab the nose of the seat, and pull back until the flywheel
touches the floor. Use the handlebars to steer the flywheel. The bike is stable in this position, and
can be left resting on the flywheel.
