TOOLS REQUIRED

• Phillips head screw driver
• 4mm,5mm, 6mm and 8 mm Allen wrench
• Adjustable wrench or a9 mm, 10 mm, 14mm and 15mm open and box end wrenches
• A pair of pliers with cable cutting ability

GETTING STARTED

1. Open the carton from the top and remove the bicycle. Figure 3.2

2. Remove the straps and protective packaging from the bicycle. Important! Do not discard packing materials until assembly is complete to ensure that no required parts are accidentally discarded.

3. Inspect the bicycle and all accessories and parts for possible shortages. It is recommended that the threads and all moving parts in the parts package be lubricated prior to installation.
   Note: We recommend using a lithium based grease on the parts before assembly.

4. Turn the front fork to face forward (i.e. the fork dropout is in the furthest forward position). Figure 3.3

ATTACH THE FRONT WHEEL

Nutted with Clip Retaining Washer

1. Loosen the axle nuts on the front wheel. If there is a washer inside of the axle nut, it belongs outside of the fork dropouts.

2. Position the front wheel between the front fork legs with the axle resting inside the fork drop out. Figure 3.4
   Important! Be sure the wheel is as centered as possible between the fork legs.

3. Place the clip retaining washer on the axle and slide it up against the fork drop out. Make sure the hooked end is inside the small hole of the fork dropout. Figure 3.5

4. Place the two outer axle nuts on and tighten evenly. Tighten one side part way, then tighten the other side and repeat until both sides are tightened securely. Be sure that the wheel remained centered between the fork legs.

5. If it is off center, loosen the axle nut on the side that has a smaller gap between tire and fork leg and use your hand to push the wheel to a centered position; hold the wheel with one hand and tighten the axle nut and check again. Repeat if needed to be sure the wheel is centered and securely tightened.

ATTACH THE HANDLEBAR

WARNING!
Failure to properly tighten handlebar components may result in loss of control, serious injury or death. always check the handlebar cannot move and is secured to the frame before riding the bicycle.

1. Make sure the stem is facing forward as illustrated. Figure 3.3
2. Loosen and remove the pinch clamp bolts holding the stem face plate on the front of the stem.
3. Insert the handlebar into the stem. Note: use the rough area of the handlebar to help center them into the stem.
4. Place the face plate over the handlebar.
5. Begin threading the pinch bolts into the stem body. Tighten the pinch bolts in a cross pattern. Do not overtighten the bolts. As you tighten the bolts the gap between the face plate and the stem body should be the same all around.
6. Tighten or loosen the top cap bolt if necessary. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Do the steps on Page 33-34 to determine if the top cap bolt is properly set.
7. Fully tighten the stem pinch bolts alternatingly.
8. Look from the side of the bike and check that the handlebar is parallel with the fork. Figure 3.7
9. Look down over the handle and stem and check that the stem is parallel with the tire. Figure 3.8

GIRO/ BRAKE CABLE (IF APPLICABLE)

Some BMX bikes come equipped with what is called a rotor or a giro. This enables the user to turn the handlebar a full 360 degrees without the cables tangling. If you plan to use your BMX for stunt riding, ramps or the like, this may invalidate your warranty.

1. Feed the shortest cable through the nearest hole to the brake lever and the longest cable through the furthest hole.
   

2. Screw the cables in place by turning the cable bolts clockwise as shown. Make sure you screw both sides in tight.

3. You will then need to lift the slotted plate up with one hand and insert the cables so that the stoppers are below the slots with the other hand.

BRAKE CABLE TO BRAKE LEVER (IF APPLICABLE)

1. Pull the brake cable and cable housing out of the stem.
2. We then need to fit the cable to the break lever. Ensure the slots on the cable tension screw are in line with the slot on the brake lever housing.
3. Squeeze the brake lever and insert the brake cable into the slot as shown below.
4. With the brake lever closed, you can now pull the brake cable outer casing and insert the cable through the sloths in the brake lever housing and the brake cable tension screw.
5. Once the brake cable outer housing has slotted into the brake cable adjusting screw, turn this screw so that the slots are no longer aligned and the cable can no longer come out.

ATTACH THE SEAT

WARNING!
Improperly adjusted seat height could affect the rider’s ability to reach the handlebar and pedals resulting in unexpected movement, loss of control and serious injury or death. Follow these guidelines when adjusting the seat height. Always ensure the seat post minimum insertion marks are below the seat clamp and cannot be seen. Ensure the seat clamp is locked and the seat cannot move.
There are two kinds of seat clamps; bolted and quick-release.
The seat assembly should be adjusted with the seat centered on the rails and level. It is recommended to add some grease to all threads and binders on a bicycle, especially on the outside of the seat post. Otherwise it may corrode over time and not be able to be adjusted again.

Bolted Seat Clamp

1. Using a5 mm Allen wrench, loosen the seat clamp bolt and insert the seat post into the seat tube. Figure 3.9

2. Adjust the seat height up or down until the rider feels they have control of the bicycle and are comfortable.
   Important! Be sure the minimum insertion marks do not go past the top of the seat clamp and are not visible. See Section 1, Fig. 1.2: Seat Height and Handlebar Reach.

3. Tighten the seat clamp bolt to lock the seat in place.

4. Check the seat to be sure it does not move.

ATTACH THE PEDALS

WARNING!

• Attachment of an incorrect pedal into a crank arm can strip pedal threads and cause irreparable damage. Visually match the R and L stickers on the pedal and crank arm before attaching the pedals. Before your first ride, please check to ensure your pedals are attached correctly.
• Itis very important that you check the crank set for correct adjustment and tightness before riding your bicycle.

1. Match the pedal marked R with the right-hand crank arm and match the pedal marked L with the left-hand crank arm. Figure 3.10
2. Place the threaded pedal into the threaded hole on the crank arm.
3. By hand, slowly turn the spindle the correct direction. Clockwise for right side pedal, counterclockwise for left side pedal. Important! Stop if you feel resistance! This may be an indication the spindle is entering the hole at an angle. Remove the spindle and repeat step two and three.
4. If the spindle is entering the hole cleanly then use a 15 mm wrench or pliers to tighten completely.
5. Repeat steps 1- 4 for the remaining pedal.

ATTACH THE PEGS

Important! Periodically check to make sure pegs are tight.
Some models may come equipped with 2 or 4 pegs.

To install pegs:

1. Do not loosen or remove axle nuts.

2. Check to make sure axle nuts are properly tightened before installing pegs.

3. Thread the pegs on the axle over the axle nut. Figure 3.11

4. Insert a screwdriver or similar tool through the peg holes and tighten by turning the peg with the tool. Figure 3.12 Deep Socket Pegs
   

5. Remove one of the axle nuts with the ratchet; then remove any remaining washers.

6. Screw on the axle adapter washer if needed. When the pegs are larger than the axle, a special washer is needed so that the pegs fit properly. If your pegs and axle are the same size, skip this step.

7. Insert anti-roll pins into the peg so that the pegs remain stationary while performing tricks. Screw the pin tightly, using an Allen wrench.

8. Slide the peg over the axle; secure the anti-roll pin and loosely tighten with the deep-well socket.

9. Ensure there is no friction between the wheel and the chain stays and brake pads. Adjust the wheel if necessary so that all parts work freely. Once parts are in working order, use the deep-well socket to tighten the axle nut.
