Dear LEKKER Customer, First and foremost – congratulations

before you do, we want to help you make sure your bike is in tip-top
condition, as well as provide you with some tips and tricks to keep it
that way.
This manual will outline all the tools and knowledge needed
to put the nishing touches on your bike, as well as how to use it
and useful guidance on maintenance and care. Feast your eyes on
what’s to come – we guarantee it’ll be worthwhile, even if you’re an
experienced rider.
The rst few chapters are particularly important, for both
your enjoyment and safety, as we walk you through key steps in
ensuring your bike is safe to ride.
Please also note that as your brand new Amsterdam 8-Speed
is hot o the press, the images in this manual are not reective of
the bike that's in front of you. The images used are from one of
our older bike models. And without them, we thought your manual
wouldn't look quite so beautiful.

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.
Note: We have to stress that this manual won’t teach you all the skills of a bicycle mechanic.
Even a manual the size of every Harry Potter book combined couldn’t detail every possible
combination, tricks and available components. For this reason, our manual is only applicable
to your new LEKKER bicycle and its assembly, alongside any important notes, warnings and
maintenance guides.

Step 1: Attach the front fender
Referring to step 1 in the illustration, loosen the nut
and bolt (using the 2x 5mm allen keys) that runs
through the front fork and attach the fender, making
sure there’s enough space between the tyre and the
fender.
Step 2: Attaching the front stay to the front fork
Referring to step 2 in the illustration, attach the front
fender stay to the front fork, using the 3 or 4mm allen
key bolt
Step 3: Attach the disc brake rotor
Referring to step 3 in the illustration, attach the disc
brake rotor using the 6 screws provided. These need
to be tightly fastened with a T25 Torx bit.

03. Aligning the brakes
Lift the wheel o the ground and give it a spin. It
should spin freely and without any noise. If you hear
a metallic rubbing sound, then the brakes will need
adjusting.
To do this, you’ll need to use the 5mm allen key. With
the bike upside down, adjust the caliper. You will
need to slightly loosen the two 5mm allen key bolts
(found on the top of the caliper), so that you can
gently move the caliper horizontally, allowing the disc
rotor to move freely between the brake pads.

04. Fitting the
saddle and handlebars
Saddle.
Using the 5mm allen key, loosen the seatpost clamp
bolt and insert the seatpost. Make sure it’s at the
correct height. When sitting on the saddle, your knee
should be at a slight bend when the pedal is at its
lowest position. Then, tighten the bolt.
Tip: Using a 5mm allen key you can also adjust the
angle of the seatpost and the front-to-back position
of it. However, this should be correctly set already.
Handlebars.
Step 1: Now using a 4mm allen key, attach the hand-
lebars to the handlebar stem, making sure the 4 bolts
are centered and tightened properly.

Step 2: Next, align the handlebars so that they are
straight and perpendicular to the frame. Then, tigh-
ten the handlebar stem to the front fork, using the
4mm allen key.
Tip: Should you wish to adjust the angles of your
grips, brakes and shifter, you can do so with a simple
turn of allen key 3 or 4. However, this should be cor-
rectly set already.

05. Fitting the pedals
To assemble the pedals, you will need a 15mm open-
ended spanner. Insert the pedal into the crank and
ensure the pedals are properly tightened.
LEFT pedal: this is the pedal that has indented hori-
zontal lines on the small part between the pedal and
thread.
