The Cadence
Assembly Instructions
Step 1
Thank you for choosing Mycle and we’re thrilled to have you join our community of
myclists. Your Cadence comes pre-built, but there is a small amount of assembly
required to get it ready to ride. When you’ve unboxed your bike and removed all
packaging, read on for your full assembly and quick start instructions.
If you have any questions, you can reach out to our friendly customer care team on

Inserting the front wheel
The Cadence comes with a quick release front
wheel, which makes it easy to put on and take o
without tools.
The quick release skewer is already in the centre
of the front wheel. Simply open the lever and
rotate anticlockwise to extend the skewer until
there is sucient space for the forks to fit either
side of the wheel and springs.
Your front wheel can only go in one way because
of the position of the disc and disc brakes.
Holding the wheel upright, slide the forks over
the skewer with the springs on the outside. Make
sure the brake disc fits evenly in-between the
brake calliper.
With the lever still in the open position, hold onto
the quick release nut and start rotating clockwise
until the lever is firm to close. This might take a
few attempts to get the right level of resistance.
You want to be able to feel enough resistance
against the lever to know the wheel is safely
secured in the forks, but not too much that you
can’t close it.
It is important that you don’t just tighten the
nut with a closed lever, as this can become loose
while riding. It is also important you close the
lever tight enough so the wheel is firmly in place
and will not fall out if you meet an uneven road
surface. Check the quick release is secure before
every ride.

Step 2
Attach the handlebars
Put down the kickstand so the bike stands up
without you having to hold it. Your Cadence will
travel with the handlebars loose, zip tied to the
frame. Cut loose the handlebars.
Simply unscrew the 4 handlebar bolts with the
relevant 4mm Allen key in your tool kit (provided).
Place your bars in-between the handlebar
setting so the brake levers face away from the
front of the bike and your gears are to your
right while riding. Make sure the cables are not
tangled and are on the outside of the stem to.
There will be a textured section in the middle of
the handlebars where the stem plate should fix
around. Simply tighten the bolts over the bar as
evenly as you can to make sure there is a flush fit.
Tighten in a cross sequence to ensure the stem
plat fits flush and the screws are straight.
Before tightening all the way, rotate the bars
into your desired position so the brake levers are
easy and comfortable to reach. Secure fully.
To adjust the rotation of the bars, simply loosen
o the handlebar bolts slightly, twist the bars
into position and tighten back up.

Step 3
If the handlebars need straightening
Using the relevant 5mm Allen keys from your
tool kit, loosen the two bolts on the side of
your stem slightly.
Facing the front of the bike, place the front
wheel between your legs and hold the
handlebars. Gently turn the handlebars while
holding the wheel in place with your knees,
aligning the bars and wheel until they both
point straight forward.
If the bars don’t rotate easily, loosen the bolts
more. Once straight, fully tighten the bolts.
If there is any movement in the handlebars,
check these bolts are tightened.

Step 4
Put on the pedals
Each pedal is labelled with an L or an R sticker
to indicate a left hand threading or right hand
threading.
When you sit on the bike, the left hand side here
corresponds to the left pedal, and the right is for
your right pedal. It’s really important to put the
pedals on the correct side so they don’t unscrew
as you ride or damage the thread.
The left pedal has a left thread, which also means
it will tighten as you turn it left (anticlockwise)
and the right pedal will tighten when turning it
right (clockwise).
Simply position the pedal at 90 degrees to the
thread in the crank arm and twist into place.
When the pedal is hand tight, use the pedal
spanner provided to fully tighten.
Repeat for Left and right pedals.
Step 5
Charge your battery
You can either charge the battery while
it’s still on the bike using the port as
pictured below, or remove the battery
using the keys provided and charge at
your convenience. Before first use, your
battery should be left to charge for a full
charge until the indicator on the charging
pack turns green.
Step 6
Set your saddle height & Step position
Your saddle should be high enough that your leg
fully extends when pedalling, but doesn’t loose
contact with the pedal.
Simply use the quick release lever to adjust the
saddle as required. If the seat tube is slipping
down when riding, simply open the lever, tighten
the lever bolt, and closing the lever back up again.
The lever should feel tighter to close and the seat
tube more secure.
For the Stem, use the 5mm Allen key to loosen
the stem bolt pictured right, and set the desired
angle. Tighten again to fix the position. If you
need the bars shorter, you can remove the mount,
reposition the spacers from below the mount to
above, and tighten the mount back up.
