BICYCLE SETUP
Correct Bicycle Size
Riding a bicycle that is not correctly sized to the rider may result
in the rider’s feet not being able to touch the ground and
balance the bicycle, properly reach the handlebar for steering or
braking, and loss of control when pedaling.
Use the wheel size in the following table as a guide to match
the rider and bicycle. For example, bicycles with a wheel size
of 12 inches t a rider that is 28 to 38 inches tall. Note: Some
bicycles such as folding bicycles may have smaller wheels but
sll t adults.
If the bicycle has a top tube on the frame, check that there is
one to three inches of clearance between the rider and the top
tube. Figure 1.1
Inability to safely reach the handlebars and dismount the
bicycle may result in loss of control of the bicycle. If the
bicycle has a top tube on the frame, ensure there is one to
three inches of clearance between the rider and the top tube.
Improper setup or maintenance of the bicycle may result in
an unexpected movement, loss of control, and serious injury
or death.

Seat Height and Handlebar Reach
Improperly adjusted seat height could aect the riders ability
to reach the handlebar and pedals may result in an unexpected
movement, loss of control, and serious injury or death. Follow
these guidelines when adjusng the seat height. Always
ensure the seat post minimum inseron marks are below the
seat clamp and be seen. Ensure the seat clamp is cannot
locked and the seat cannot move.
WARNING!
Your legs should be almost completely straight when the
pedal is in the down most posion, just a slight bend in
the knee. Figure 1.2
Note: The rider’s feet may not touch the ground easily. If
this is the case the rider can simply move forward o the
seat to mount and dismount the bicycle or the seat can be
adjusted lower if the rider is uncomfortable with the height,
but note that riding is more dicult with the seat too low,
as the legs are in an unnatural posion.
Do not raise the seat so much the knees lock straight when
pedaling or you have to move forward o the seat to pedal.
This is unsafe and the bicycle cannot be controlled in this
condion.
You should be able to safely reach the handlebar with
your arms bent slightly (approximately 10 degrees) at
the elbow.

Missing, damaged, or dirty reectors will aect the ability of
others to see and recognize you as a moving bicyclist, increasing
the risk of being hit, serious injury or death. Always check the
reectors are in place and make sure they are clean, straight,
unbroken and securely mounted before riding the bicycle.
WARNING!
Important! Federal regulaons require every bicycle over 16
inches to be equipped with front, rear, wheel, and pedal
reectors. Many states require specic safety devices. It is your
responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of the state
where you ride and to comply with all applicable laws, including
properly equipping yourself and your bike as the law requires.
Bicycles under 16 inches are considered “sidewalk bicycles” and
may not be ed with reectors. These bicycles should not be
ridden on streets, at night or unsupervised by an adult.
Check and conrm the front and rear reectors are in the
correct posion: Figure 1.7
• FrontReector: Should aim forward (when viewed from

Night Riding
Important! Riding a bicycle at night is not recommended.
Check your local laws regarding night riding.
Ensure bicycle is equipped with a full set of correctly
posioned and clean reectors.
Use a white light on the front and a red light on the rear.
Use lights with ashing capability for enhanced visibility.
If using baery powered lights, make sure baeries are
well charged.
Wear reecve and light colored clothing. Wear reecve
clothing and use safety lights for increased visibility.
Ride at night only if necessary. Slow down and use familiar
roads with street lighng.
Hill Technique
Gear down before a climb and connue gearing down as
required to maintain pedaling speed.
If you reach the lowest gear and are struggling, stand up on
your pedals. You will then obtain more power from each
pedal revoluon.
On the descent, use the high gears to avoid rapid pedaling.
Do not exceed a comfortable speed; maintain control and
take addional care.
Braking will require addional distance. Iniate braking slowly
and earlier than usual.
Cornering Technique
Brake slightly before cornering and prepare to lean your body
into the corner.
Maintain the inside pedal at the 12 o’clock posion and
slightly point the inside knee in the direcon you are turning.
Keep the other leg straight, do not pedal through fast or ght
corners.
Decrease your riding speed, avoid sudden braking and
sharp turns.
Safe Riding Rules for Children
Many states require that children wear a helmet while cycling.
Always wear a properly ed helmet.
Do not play in driveways or the road.
Do not ride on busy streets.
Do not ride at night.
Obey all the trac laws, especially stop signs and red lights.
Be aware of other road vehicles behind and nearby.
Before entering a street: Stop, look le, right, and le again
for trac. If there’s no trac, proceed into the roadway.
If riding downhill, be extra careful. Slow down using the
brakes and maintain control of the steering.
Never take your hands o the handlebars, or your feet o the
pedals when riding downhill.

Be sure that brake pads return to a centered posion by
spinning the wheel and listening for the brake pad rubbing
the rim on either side. Re-adjust as needed.
Check that the brake cable tension allows the brake lever
about 1/3 of the travel before the brake pads contact the
rim. If the cable has stretched or slipped, re-adjust the brake
cable tension by loosening cable anchor bolt and pulling
more cable through the anchor or use brake adjustment
barrels for ne tuning brake cable tension.

WARNING!
Improper adjustment of the handlebar may result in
damage to the stem post, steering tube and result in loss of
control, serious injury or death. Ensure the minimum
inseron marks on the stem post are visible above the not
top of the headset.
Failure to properly ghten handlebar components may
result in loss of control, serious injury or death. Always
check the handlebar is funconing properly and secured to
the frame before riding the bicycle.
ADJUSTING THE HANDLEBAR
Adjusng the Handlebar Height
Instrucons for adjusng the handlebar height depend on
whether your bicycle has a or (quill clamp threadless) stem.
Refer to for instrucons on Secon 3: Aach the Handlebar
adjusng the handlebar height.
Align the Handlebar
Stand in front of the handlebar and hold the front wheel
between your legs.
Using a 6 mm Allen wrench, loosen the stem binder bolt, or
pinch binder bolts, and move the handlebar le or right
unl it is aligned with the front wheel. Figure 4.17
Tighten the stem binder bolt and check the handlebar is
securely aached and funconing properly.
Adjust the Handlebar Angle
Using a 6 mm Allen wrench loosen the handlebar binder
bolt(s). Figure 4.17
Rotate the handlebar into the desired posion.
Check that the handlebar is centered to the frame and front
wheel. Sit on the seat and check your reach to grips,
shiers, and brakes. Refer to Secon 1: Seat Height and
Handlebar Reach for guidelines.
Tighten the handlebar binder bolt(s) and check the
handlebar is securely aached and funconing properly.

ADJUSTING THE HEADSET
Threadless headsets are similar to threaded headsets, they use
two sets of bearings and bearing cups. Unlike a threaded
headset, a threadless headset does not have an upper threaded
race or use a threaded steerer tube. Instead the steerer tube
extends from the fork all the way through the head tube and
above the headset and is held in place by the stem clamped
on top.
Conduct the following checks to determine if there is play in the
headset:
Shakiness: Apply the front brake and push the handlebars
back and forth, front to back. Or if the bicycle is on a
workstand and the front wheel removed, push and pull on
the forks. If you feel a knocking sensaon or "clunk" it
means the headset is too loose.
Sness: Li the front of the frame so the front wheel is
o the ground. The handlebar and wheel should op to
one side or another. If there is drag or binding the headset
is too ght.

ADJUSTING THE BOTTOM BRACKET
Typically the boom bracket contains four major pieces:
lockring, adjustable cone, bearings, and washers. The lockring
has notches. The adjustable cone will have notches for a
spanner wrench or boom bracket tool. The cones can be
removed and replaced separately. A set of round ball bearings
are found in each adjustable cone. A typical ball bearing is 5/16"
in diameter and contains nine balls. This type of boom bracket
may be cleaned, greased and adjusted.
Bearing Adjustment
The basic concept for bearing adjustments is to get the bearings
adjusted as loose as possible but without play. Start by
purposely beginning with play in the adjustment and then
ghtening in small increments unl play is gone. Extended Note:
use may cause the bearings, cups (or cones) to become worn
and pied. In this case, bearing adjustment will not be possible.
If boom bracket is correctly adjusted, but grinds when spun,
cups and/or cones are worn and should be replaced. Figure 4.21
Loosen the locknut. Turn adjusng cone counter-clockwise
unl it hits the ball bearing, then turn back clockwise to
loosen 1/4 turn.
Secure the locknut.
Grab the end of the crank arms and rock it sideways to
check for play. If play is present, loosen locknut and turn
adjusng cone counter-clockwise slightly to ghten.
Re-secure locknut and check again.
Repeat process of checking for play and re-ghtening cone a
slight amount unl no play is felt. Note: The one-piece crank
systems do not use a polished bearing system. There will be
some roughness to a correctly adjusted boom bracket.
Adjust as loose as possible but without play in the crank
assembly.

WARNING!
Figure 5.1
BRAKE OPERATION
Failure to follow all local and state regulaons and laws
pertaining to bicycle use as well as the safety warnings in this
manual may result in serious injury or death. Always follow all
local and state regulaons and laws pertaining to bicycle use,
follow the safety warnings in this manual and use common
sense when riding the bicycle. Always conduct a pre-ride
check of the bicycle condion before riding.
There are two types of braking systems for bicycles; foot
operated and hand operated.
Foot Operated Brakes
Foot operated brakes allow the rider to pedal forward to
accelerate the bicycle, and pedal backwards to brake. The
harder you push back on the pedals, the more braking force is
applied to the rear wheel. Figure 5.1
In most cases a foot operated brake is strong enough to lock up
(stop the wheel from turning) the rear wheel and cause the re
to skid. While this will decelerate the bicycle quickly, it will also
cause unnecessary wear on the re, and terrain, and can cause a
loss of steering control.
It is recommended to pracce braking so that you have control
over how quickly the bicycle comes to a stop. It is also important
to know the environment that you are riding on. For example, a
dry paved road is very predictable when stopping. But if you add
rain, gravel, snow or anything else, the rider needs to be extra
careful, and allow extra stopping distance, and slow down
before turning. The rider should also be careful as terrain
changes to keep the bicycle at a controllable speed.
Some models may have a combinaon of foot and hand
operated brakes. It is OK to operate them at the same me or
independently. However, if the bicycle is equipped with a front
wheel hand brake, be careful to use front and rear brake
simultaneously, and avoid locking up the front wheel, as this can
cause a loss of steering control, and cause a crash. See hand
operated brakes on the next page for more detail.
