SECURITY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNING
OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITY AND IMPORTANT POINTS:
1. Carefully and thoroughly read this manual and follow the instructions.
2. Any major service or adjustments on your bicycle should be carried out by a
professional repairer; however, if this service is not available and you wish to make
adjustments yourself, this manual contains important tips on how to do it.
CAUTION: Any adjustments you make are entirely at your own risk.
CAUTION: To use your bicycle for freestyle and stunt riding, competitive events,
off-road use or any similar activities can be dangerous and you are warned that you
assume the risk for personal injury, damages or losses incurred from such use. The
Retailer shall not be liable to the purchaser of the bicycle or to third parties for
consequential or special damages.
• Bicycles are built with a variety of equipment and accessories, and you should familiar-
ize yourself with their function and purpose, to make sure you can operate them
correctly.
SAFE CYCLING AND SAFETY TIPS
Before you ride your bicycle at any time make sure it is in a safe operating condition.
Particularly check that your: -
1. Bicycle’s nuts, bolts and parts are tight and not worn or damaged.
2. Riding position is comfortable.
3. Brakes are operating effectively.
4. Steering is free with no excessive play.
5. Wheels run true and hub bearings are correctly adjusted.
6. Wheels are properly secured and locked to frame/fork.
7. Tyres are in good condition and inflated to correct pressure.
8. Pedals are securely tightened to pedal cranks.
9. Before riding please note that the righthand brake lever operates the front brake, and
the left lever operates the rear brake.
After you have made any adjustments to your bicycle, check that all nuts, bolts are
securely tightened and cables are free from kinks and fixed securely to the bicycle frame.
Every six months (more frequently if high mileage or subject to heavy use) your bicycle
should be professionally checked to ensure that it is in correct and safe working order.
But remember, it is the responsibility of the rider to ensure all parts are in working order,
for your own safety, prior to riding the bike.
WHEN RIDING:
1. Be aware of and obey current traffic regulations.
2. Know and observe all local laws and rules for bicycles.
3. Give clear hand signals in goodtime to warn other road users of your intentions.
4. Be aware of vehicles pulling in or out of traffic and for doors being opened on parked
cars.
5 6
5. Always keep both your hands on the handle bars and your feet on the pedals and also
sit correctly on the seat at all times.
6. Wear a protective cycling helmet and make sure no loose clothes can catch in your
wheels or chain.
7. Take care to ride at a speed to suit the conditions and extra care should be taken
when riding on uneven surfaces, loose sand or gravel. Be alert and avoid potholes, drain
covers and grates or other road hazards.
FORBIDDEN:
• Do not ride on same side of road as oncoming traffic.
• Do not carry a passenger unless cycle is equipped to do so.
• Do not swerve in and out of traffic.
• Do not hang items over the handle bars to impede steering or catch in the front wheel.
• Do not hold on to another vehicle.
• Do not ride too close behind another vehicle.
CAUTION: WET WEATHER RIDING
No brakes work as well under wet or icy conditions as they do under dry conditions. In
wet weather special precautions must be taken to assure safe stopping. Ride slower
than normal and apply your brakes well in advance of anticipated stops.
CAUTION: NIGHT RIDING
If you intend to ride on public roads, especially in the dark hours you should ensure
that your cycle is equipped with any legally required parts such as reflectors and lights.
Check that the reflectors are firmly secured in their correct position and clean and not
obscured. Damaged reflectors must be replaced immediately.

HANDLEBAR AND STEM INSTALLATION
WARNING: To prevent steering system damage and possible loss of control, the
“MIN-IN” (minimum insertion) mark (A) on the stem must be below the top of the
Locknut (B) (fig 01).
NOTE: Remove plastic Cap (E) from the end of the Stem (1)
THREADLESS STYLE STEM:
NOTE: This procedure applies to both the two-bolt Stem and four-bolt Stem (figs 01b
and 01c):
1. Insert the Stem (1) onto the Fork Tube (E) and point the Stem (1) towards the front of
the bike and in line with the fork.
2. Tighten the stem bolts (C) securely. Place Cap into stem and tighten screw securely
(D).
WARNING: Do not over tighten the stem bolt. Over tightening the stem bolt can
damage the steering system and cause loss of control.
WARNING: The Front Brake (28) must be positioned in FRONT of the Fork (4).
WARNING: To prevent steering system damage and possible loss of control,
completely seat Stem (1) onto Fork Tube (E).
ASSEMBLE THE FRONT WHEEL TO THE FORK
Loosen the Front Brakes:
1. Squeeze the two Brake arms together (A). Lift out the Brake Cable Guide (B) from
the Guide Bracket (C).
Install the Front Wheel:
2. Set the Front Wheel (3) into the front fork (4) (fig 03). Install wheel retainers (5)
making sure the tabs are in the Fork Retainer Holes (C).
3. Attach the front wheel with the Axle Nuts (6). Tighten Axle Nuts to 21 ft-lbs.
WARNING: Do not use Nuts (6) without serrations to attach the front wheel.
NOTE: Ensure wheel spins freely without contacting fork or fender.
WARNING: Put the wheel in the centre of the fork and tighten both nuts to the
recommended torque of 21 ft.-lbs.
WARNING: Failure to obey these steps can allow the front wheel to loosen while
riding. This can cause injury to the rider or to others.
11 12
SETTING UP THE HANDLEBARS
1. If necessary, loosen the Handlebar Clamp Screw(s) (A) and rotate Handlebar (2) into
a comfortable riding position. Tighten Handlebar Clamp Screw(s) (A) securely.
NOTE: Do not over tighten. Torque to 14-17 ft-lbs.
WARNING: If the handlebar clamp in not tight enough, the handlebar can slip in the
stem. This can cause damage to the handlebar or stem, and can cause loss of control.
TESTING STEM AND HANDLEBAR TIGHTNESS
To test the tightness of the stem:
• Straddle the front wheel between your legs. Try to turn the front wheel by turning
the handlebar.
• If the handlebar and stem turn without turning the front wheel, realign the stem
with the wheel and tighten the stem bolt(s) tighter than before (about 1/2 revolution
only at a time).
• Do this test again, until the handlebar and stem do not turn without turning the
front wheel
To test the tightness of the handlebar clamp:
• Hold the bicycle stationary and try to move the ends of the handlebar up and down.
If the handlebar moves, loosen the bolt(s) of the handlebar clamp.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 100 lbs downward force.
• Put the handlebar in the correct position and tighten the bolt(s) of the handlebar
clamp tighter than before. If the handlebar clamp has more than one bolt, tighten the
bolts equally.
• Do this test again, until the handlebar does not move in the handlebar clamp.
SEAT INSTALLATION
Attach Seat to Seat Post:
1. Loosen nuts on seat clamp (A) and rotate Seat (8) into riding position. Put the seat
post (9) fully through the seat clamp (A).
13 14
2. Tighten the Seat Clamp so the seat stays on the seat post. If the Seat Clamp has a
nut on each side, tighten both nuts equally. Point the Seat (8) forward and put the
Seat Post (9) into the Seat Tube (B) (figs 07, 08).
CAUTION: If you accidentally drop the seat post into the seat tube, it may be difficult
to remove it.
CAUTION: Operate the Quick Release Lever by hand only. Do not use a hammer or any
other tool to tighten the quick release lever.
You must use strong force to move the quick release lever to the “close” position. If
you can easily move the lever to the “close” position, the clamping force is too light.
WARNING: If the clamping force of the Quick Release Lever is too light, the seat post
can loosen while riding. This can cause injury to the rider or to others.
TIGHTEN THE QUICK RELEASE LEVER:
3. Open and close the Quick Release Lever with one hand while you turn the Adjusting
Nut (F) with the other hand (fig 08). Tighten or loosen the Adjusting Nut (F) by hand,
so that you first feel resistance to the quick release lever when it perpendicular to the
bicycle frame.
4. Push the Quick Release Lever to the “close” position (fig 08). The tightening torque
of the Quick Release Lever should be tight enough so that the seat does not move
during normal operation.
TESTING SEAT CLAMP AND POST CLAMP TIGHTNESS
1. Try to turn the seat side-to-side and to move the front of the seat up and down. If
the seat moves in the Seat Clamp (A) (fig 06), loosen the Seat Clamp.
2. Put the seat in the correct position and tighten the Seat Clamp tighter than before.
3. Do this test again, until the seat does not move in the Seat Clamp.
4. If the Seat Post (9) moves in the Seat Tube (B): Move the Quick Release Lever to the
“open” position, put the seat in the correct position and tighten the Quick Release
Lever tighter than before.
5. If necessary, loosen Quick Release Lever, tighten Adjusting Nut and re-tighten Quick
Release Lever.
6. Do this test again, until the seat post does not move in the seat tube.

ROUTINE INSTRUCTIONS AND MAINTENANCE
1. Any modification made to the frame, fork, or any other parts can be very unsafe. Any
component which is not approved can put very high stress on your bicycle and can
decrease your control, which may lead to a fall. Do not sand, drill, file, remove
redundant retention devices, install forks or make other modifications. Consult with a
professional before adding any parts to your bicycle for its safety and compatibility.
2. Use of any mechanical devices on your bicycle may subjects it to wear and stress.
Different material or component can react differently to wear or stress. If the life span
of any part of the bicycle which includes frame, fork and components has exceeded,
the part may break and cause you to lose control and fall. Any form of crack, scratch or
change in colour in the high-stress area indicates that life of that component has
reached and should be replaced.
3. If the wheel adjustment device is not correctly adjusted and closed, it can allow the
wheel to be loose or come off which may cause you to fall.
4. The disk brake and the disk get very hot during use and touching it can burn skin
and also the disk edges can be sharp and cut through skin. Do not touch the disk or
disk brake when hot or when the disk turns.
5. Riding your bicycle in an incorrect manner can add to your risk of getting injured:
a. Jump your bicycle.
b. Ride over sticks, debris, or other obstacles.
c. Do bicycle stunts.
d. Ride in severe off-road terrain.
fig 09
PEDAL INSTALLATION
CAUTION: There is a right pedal marked “R” and a left pedal marked “L”.
1. The pedal marked “R” has right-hand threads. Tighten it in a clockwise direction.
2. The pedal marked “L” has left-hand threads. Tighten it in a counter-clockwise
direction (anti-clockwise).
3. Turn the right pedal marked “R” into the right side of the crank arm, and the left
pedal marked “L” into the left side of the crank arm.
Tighten the pedals (fig 09):
4. Make sure the threads of each pedal are fully into the crank arm. Make sure pedals
are fully tightened with wrench.
NOTE: The recommended torque (tightness) for each pedal is 30 ft.-lbs.
WARNING: Ensure pedals are secure in crank arms so they will not loosen. Periodically
check tightness.
e. Ride fast, in competition, or “downhill”.
f. Ride in an unusual manner.
These are the examples of misuse that adds stress on each part of your bike which
leads to break of the components and increases your risk of injury.
6. An incorrectly positioned seat post can break the saddle rails or the saddle-clamp
bolt, and cause you to fall. Only clamp the flat portion of the saddle rails in the
saddle-clamp.
7. If a seat post is too high it can cause damage to your bicycle, decrease your control,
and cause you to fall. Make sure the minimum-insertion mark that is in the frame.
8. A quick-release or other wheel attachment device which is not correctly adjusted
and closed can let wheel be loose or come off, decrease your control, and cause you
to fall. Make sure the wheels are correctly attached before you ride your bicycle.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
WARNING: As with all mechanical components, the bicycle is subjected to wear and
high stresses. Different materials and components may react to wear or stress fatigue
in different ways. If the design life of a component has been exceeded, it may
suddenly fail possibly causing injuries to the rider. Any form of crack, scratch or change
of colouring in highly stressed areas indicate that the life of the components has been
reached and it should be repaired or replaced immediately.
