REFLECTORS

Attach the plastic bracket to the handlebar. (Figure 13 - Front).
1 -
Rear and wheel are already installed from the factory.
2 -

FENDERS

Front
1 - Locate the long bolt, washer, and nut which will either be in the parts bag or inserted at the top of
the fork.
2 - Slide the fender in place from from the back of the fork. Insert the long bolt through the fork from
the front of the bike. At the back of the fork, place the bolt through the fender mounting tab
along the washer and nut. While pushing the fender tab up as far as it will go, tighten the bolt and
nut to secure the fender to the top of the fork (Figure 14).
3 - Position the fender braces to the mounting holes on the fork drop-outs. It's okay to squeeze
inward as these struts are designed to be pliable. Partially thread the screw through the fender
brace into the drop out and repeat for the other side. Once both braces are partially attached,
tighten brace screws to complete attaching your fender (Figure 15)
4 - If the fender is not straight, that's okay! As previously mentioned, the fender struts are can be
bent. Gently adjust the fender by hand until it's straight.
Rear
1 -
If the red rear reflector is not already attached to the rear fender, install it now.
2 - Remove the fender attachment screws from the rear frame drop-outs.
3 - Position the fender struts to match the mounting holes on the rear drop-out and insert the screw
through the end of the brace and screw into the drop-out. Repeat on the other side. If the struts are
spread apart it's OK to squeeze inward as these struts are designed to be pliable.
4 - If the fender is not straight, gently adjust the fender by hand until it's straight.

BRAKES AND GEARS

NOTE: We highly recommend taking your bike to a local bike shop and having your brakes and gears
(if equipped) set-up by a professional mechanic.

BRAKES

Your 7-speed bicycle is equipped with front and rear linear-pull brakes.
1 -
Be sure that the brake pads are aligned with the curve of the rim and that they contact the rim
surface flat and evenly. The brake shoe angle and height can be adjusted by loosening the Hex
bolt attaching the brake shoe to the brake arm. Notice that the brake shoe can articulate a certain
amount up and down and side to side. (Figure 16)
2 -
Loosen the brake cable anchor bolt on the brake arm held by a Hex bolt allowing the brake cable
to freely glide through its anchor.
