Enjoy your Jordaan 3-Speed
Dear LEKKER Customer, First and foremost – congratulations on your brand new
bicycle! We can’t wait for you to experience the thrill and joy of riding your
LEKKER bike, the Amsterdam way. But before you do, we want to help you make
sure your bike is in tip-top
condition, as well as provide you with some tips and tricks to keep it that
way.
This manual will outline all the tools and knowledge needed to put the
finishing touches on your bike, as well as how to use it and useful guidance
on maintenance and care. Feast your eyes on what’s to come – we guarantee
it’ll be worthwhile, even if you’re an experienced rider.
The first few chapters are particularly important, for both your enjoyment and
safety, as we walk you through key steps in ensuring your bike is safe to
ride.
Please also note that as your brand new Jordaan 3-Speed is hot off the press,
the images in this manual might not be reflective of the bike that’s in front
of you. The images used are from one of our older bike models. And without
them, we thought your manual wouldn’t look quite so beautiful.
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, tricks and available components. For this reason, our manual is only applicable to your new LEKKER bicycle and its assembly, alongside any important notes, warnings and maintenance guides.
Getting Started
We’ve created this manual to help you put the finishing touches on your LEKKER bike. Run through these quick steps and you’ll be exploring and adventuring in no time.
So, without further ado, unbox your LEKKER bike and feast your eyes on your newest sidekick. Once you’-ve removed the packaging, make sure you have your trustly toolkit to hand, as shown in the illustration on the next page.
Fitting the front wheel and fender
Step 1: Attach the front fender
Referring to step 1 in the illustration, loosen the nut and bolt (using the 2x 5mm allen keys) that runs through the front fork and attach the fender, making sure there’s enough space between the tyre and the fender.
Step 2: Attaching the front stay to the front fork
Referring to step 2 in the illustration, attach the front fender stay to the front fork, using the 3 or 4mm allen key bolt
Step 3: Putting the wheel in place
Referring to step 3 in the illustration, put the wheel in place and tighten the wheel nut using the 15mm spanner
Now, on to the brakes.
Aligning the 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.
Fitting the saddle and handlebars
Saddle.
Using the 5mm allen key, loosen the seat post clamp bolt and insert the seat post. 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 seatpost and the front-to-back position of it. However, this should be correctly set already
Handlebars.
Step 1: Now, using a 6mm allen key, loosen the bolt located at the top of the handlebar stem, then insert it into the frame. Once inserted, centre the handlebar and stem and tighten it.
Step 2: To adjust the angle of the handlebar, loosen the allen bolts of the front plate until you can move the handle bar freely. Once you’ve found your preferred bar angle, tighten the bolt.
Tip: Should you wish to adjust the angles of your grips, brakes and shifter, you can do so with a simple turn of allen key 3 or 4.
Fitting the pedals
To assemble the pedals, you will need a 15mm openended spanner. Insert the pedal into the crank and ensure the pedals are properly tightened.
LEFT pedal: this is the pedal that has indented horizontal lines on the small part between the pedal and thread.
RIGHT pedal: This pedal has no indented lines and is smooth in between the pedal and thread
ATTENTION: please make sure you check the thread direction before inserting the pedals. Fitting the pedal to the wrong side can damage the crank arm and is not covered under warranty
Finishing Touches
Bell: Install the bell on your handlebars, in your preferred position. Generally, this is on the left hand side, next to the brake lever.
Lights: Both the front and rear racks have mounting points for lights.
Rear Light: The rear rack mounting point is located at the very rear of the rack. Using the two 8mm bolts supplied with the lights, mount them using the two mounting holes and tighten.
Front Light:
Attach the front light to the light holder that’s attached to the front fork.
If you’ve purchased a front rack, the front light attaches to the light holder in the middle of the rack. Using the nut and bolt provided, tighten the light onto the fixture.
Tip: Make sure you remove the plastic battery tab.
Tyres: Pump the tyres to 55-65 PSI
Accessories: If you ordered any accessories such as racks or locks, don’t forget to fit these too. They each come with their own instructions and also have their own mounting points.
Now, you’re good to go. Enjoy your ride, the Amsterdam way!
