WELCOME TO
LEKKER
Dear Lekker Customer, first of
all we would like to congratulate
you with your brand new
bicycle! It’s already a great day.
But before you ride out we want
to make sure your bike is in tip-
top condition, and you are aware
how to keep it like that. Very
important, to ensure endless
smiles each single ride.
In this manual we have
compiled for you lots of tips on
how to use your Lekker Bicycle,
instructions for maintenance and
care, plus obviously a walk
through how to execute the final
assembly of your ride. We
advise to read this manual
thoroughly.
WELCOME TO
LEKKER
You will find it worth your while; even if you have cycled all your
life and feel like a veteran with your new ride.
For your enjoyment and safety please complete the first part of
this manual, to ensure all is clear about general bicycle safety.
Your Lekker Team
Note: We have to stress that this manual
won’t teach you the skills of a bicycle
mechanic. Even a manual as big as all
Harry Potters books together could not
describe every possible combination,
tricks and available components. For this
reason this manual only focuses on your
newly Lekker Bicycle, standard assembly
and drawing your attention to important
notes, warnings and maintenance.

CHAPTER 1
1. Congratulations! You are the proud owner of a
brand new Amsterdam M2! When you receive your
bike, the first thing to do is check that it has arrived
in perfect condition, Open the top of the box, and
visually inspect the bike.
2. Remove the bike from the box, some help may be
needed for this step (you may find it easier to cut
the side of the box open and use this as a surface
to build on, be careful whilst using sharp knives!).
Once removed, you will find a small accessory box.
3. For the correct assembly of your bike you will
need the following tools; 8mm/10mm/15mm
spanners, 3/4/5/6mm Allen keys, a small amount
of lithium grease and a pump.
Getting started
CHAPTER 2
Handlebar fitment and
adjustment
4. Remove all the packaging, cut the cable ties holding the
handlebars and front wheel. Carefully remove the front wheel,
you may need to spin the pedal arm to help give it space, be
careful not to force it and damage spokes or the wheel. Leave the
rear wheel in the cardboard for stability and place a piece of foam
on the top bar to avoid scratches while assembling. Remove the
small plastic tab from between the brake pads and loosen the
axle nuts.
5. In the box, you’ll find information about the brakes and belt
system, pedals, small rubber plug, and spare brake tabs (these
can be used while traveling with your bike with the wheels
removed).
6. Using a 4mm allen key, undo the 4 bolts located on the front of
the stem, then place the handlebars in the stem and gently
tighten each bolt, ensuring they are done so evenly. Centre and
adjust the angle of the handlebar, once you have found your
desired bar angle, tighten the bolts to 5Nm importantly making
sure they are tightened evenly.

Front wheel and fender fitment
7. If you wish to fit the front fender, you may now do so.
Remove the silver bolt from the top of the fork and loosely
tighten it in place with the fender. Place the stays in the
mounts on the sides of the fork.

8. Now it’s time to fit the front wheel. Lift the front end of the
bike up, place the axle of the wheel in the dropouts, and
carefully align the brake disc in the caliper between the
pads. On both sides of the wheel, place the washer on the
axle on the outside of the fork, followed by the axle nut. Now
tighten using the 15mm spanner, ensuring a secure fit.

9. Now with the wheel in place, you can align and tighten
the fenders. Ensuring there is adequate space between the
tyre and the fender, tighten the stay clamps. With one side
securely fastened, check the other side for alignment.
10. Push the fender up to make sure there is even space
between the tyre and fender. Using two 5mm allen keys,
tighten the top silver bolt. To help align the front of the
fender, use one key on the back of the fork while pushing the
fender into alignment.

CHAPTER 3
Front wheel and fender
fitment
11. Lift the wheel off the ground and spin it, It should spin
freely without noise, if you hear a metallic rubbing sound
then the brakes will need adjusting. You will need a 5mm
allen key. With the bike upside down, adjust the caliper. You
will need to loosen the two 5mm allen key bolts found on
the top of the caliper only a little so that you can gently move
the caliper horizontally so the disc rotor moves freely
between the brake pads. Ensure you do not leave any
grease on the disk.
12. ATTENTION: Disc brakes can be dangerous if adjusted
whilst the wheel is spinning, so take extra care when doing
this, If you do not feel comfortable adjusting the brakes, we
recommend to always take your bicycle to a trained
mechanic for building/adjustment.
PLEASE NOTE; Disc brakes are subjected to high
temperatures and stresses, which can cause the disc rotor to
warp slightly, this is normal and can be adjusted by bending
the disc rotor back to its original position.

CHAPTER 4 IMAGES
Chapter 4Assembly of the pedals
13. For the assembly of the pedals you will need a 15mm open-ended
spanner. ATTENTION:please make sure to check the thread direction
before inserting thepedals, as fitting the pedal to the wrong side can
damage the crank arm which is not covered under warranty! If the pedal
has ridges where you tighten with a spanner
14. Flip the bike back over. Apply some grease or anti seize to the
threads and tighten to 40-42Nm torque. PLEASE NOTE; It is very
important to tighten the pedals to the correct torque, as by not doing so
will lead to the pedals loosening and damaging the crank arm thread,
which is not covered under warranty!
15. To install the saddle, use a 5mm allen key. Apply a small amount of
grease to the inside of the frame tube. Now insert the saddle to the
desired height and tighten using the key. You can adjust the angle of the
saddle using a 6mm allen key under the saddle.
16. You can now adjust the angle of the brake levers and gear shifter if
you wish. Using a 5mm Allen key, loosen the bolt on each of the brake
levers to allow you to move them, once in the correct position tighten
the bolts to the manufacturer’s torque recommendation, PLEASE NOTE:
you may have to adjust the gear shifter position to allow you to move the
right hand lever, to do this, loosen the bolt with a 3mm allen key, then
perform the same steps as above, just remember to tighten the shifter
back up!

Turn the gear shifter on the handlebar to position
number 2.
Now check viewing window on the gear changer
on the rear wheel, there will be two white lines,
and a yellow line that moves when the gear is
changed, when the yellow is between the white
lines in gear 2, the gears are correctly adjusted.
Your M2 will be either a 3 speed, 8 speed or the
Nuvinci rear hub, whilst we check all gear systems,
some cable stretch can occur before, during and after
the first few rides.
3 Speed
Firstly, turn the gear shifter to gear number 4.
Now go to the rear of the bike and look at the
small window on the rear hub, there will be two
yellow lines, if the top one is not lined up with the
bottom line, then you will need to either tighten or
loosen the cable buy adjusting the barrel adjuster
located on the bottom of the shifter.
8 Speed

CHAPTER 5 CHAPTER 5
Adjusting gears and final checksAdjusting gears and final checks
Turn the adjuster away from you to tighten, and towards you
to loosen the cable, we recommend only turning ¼ turn then
checking the alignment, and re-adjust if needed.
Shift down a gear, then back to 4th to check the two lines,
once they are lined up, the gears will be correctly adjusted!
Ensure that you can move the gear shifter to its full
extent in both directions. To do this you may need to
spin the rear wheel to allow it to move more, as you can
only move the shifter a little whilst the wheel is
stationary.
To check the movement, locate the small silver block
with cables attached on the gear changer at the back
wheel, and then turn the grip shifter so that the silver
block touches both sides of where the cables are fitted
to the changer.
For further information on theNuvinci systemplease
refer to the user manual which can be foundonline,or
contact us directly.

Nuvinci gearing

17. Removethe valve covers on both wheels,attachthe pump
head andinflatethe tyres to the recommended pressure
(usually printed on the sidewall of the tyre) and re fit the valve
caps.
18. Check the brakes are working by pressing the lever rapidly a
few times to allow pressure to build up in the system, lift the
wheel off the ground and spin it, It should spin freely without
noise, if you hear a metallic rubbing sound then the brakes will
need adjusting, PLEASE NOTE: the brakes will need checking
before every ride, any anomalies should be addressed before
using the bike further.
19. To check belt tension, push it up and down halfway
between the pedals and the rear axle, it should have around 10-
15MM both up and down, it is worth checking it at several points
by rotating the pedals a quarter turn. The tension can be
adjusted by sliding the rear wheel forwards or backwards. There
are handy guides in more detail on the Gates website.
