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, trick, and available component. For this reason, our manual is only applicable to your new LEKKER bicycle and its assembly, alongside any important notes, warnings, and maintenance guides.

Aligning the brakes

brakes

Lift the wheel off 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.

Aligning the gears

Step 1: Checking alignment
Begin by engaging the fourth gear on your shifting system. With the fourth gear engaged, the yellow lines should be aligned next to each other at your rear wheel axel.

Saddle.
Using the 5mm Allen key, loosen the seat post 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 seat post and its front-to-back position of it. However, this should be correctly set already.
Handlebars.
