BICYCLE SETUP
WARNING!
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.

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 fit a rider that is 28 to 38 inches tall. Note: Some bicycles
such as folding bicycles may have smaller wheels but still fit
adults.

Seat Height and Handlebar Reach
WARNING!
Improperly adjusted seat height could affect the rider’s 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 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.

❶ Your legs should be almost completely straight when the
pedal is in the down most position, 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 off 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 difficult with the seat too low,
as the legs are in an unnatural position.
Do not raise the seat so much the knees lock straight when
pedaling or you have to move forward off the seat to pedal.
This is unsafe and the bicycle cannot be controlled in this
condition.
❷ You should be able to safely reach the handlebar with
your arms bent slightly (approximately 10 degrees) at
the elbow.

Safety 1
Helmet Use
Important! Many states have passed helmet laws regarding
children. Make sure you know your state’s helmet laws. It is your
job to enforce these rules with your children. Even if your state
does not have a children’s helmet law, it is recommended that
everyone wear a helmet when cycling. When riding with a child
carrier seat or trailer, children must wear a helmet.
It is strongly advised that a properly fitting, ASTM or SNELL
approved, bicycle safety helmet be worn at all times when riding
your bicycle. In addition, if you are carrying a passenger in a
child safety seat, they must also be wearing a helmet.
The correct helmet should: Figure 1.5
• Be comfortable
Figure 1.5
• Have good ventilation
• Fit correctly
• Cover forehead
Incorrect helmet position: Figure 1.6
• Helmet does not cover the forehead

Reflectors
WARNING!
Missing, damaged, or dirty reflectors will affect 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
reflectors are in place and make sure they are clean, straight,
unbroken and securely mounted before riding the bicycle.
Important! Federal regulations require every bicycle over 16
inches to be equipped with front, rear, wheel, and pedal
reflectors. Many states require specific 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 fitted with reflectors. These bicycles should not be
ridden on streets, at night or unsupervised by an adult.

RIDING SAFETY
WARNING!
Riding the bicycle in unsafe conditions (i.e. at night), in an unsafe
manner, or disregarding traffic laws may result in an unexpected
movement, loss of control, and serious injury or death.
• Wear proper riding attire, reflective if possible, and avoid
open toe shoes.
• Do not use items that may restrict your hearing and vision.
• Do not carry packages or passengers that will interfere with
your visibility or control of the bicycle.
General Safety
• Familiarize yourself with all the bicycle’s features before
riding. Practice gear shifts, braking, and the use of toe clips
and straps, if installed.
• Always ride defensively in a predictable, straight line. Never
ride against traffic.
• Expect the unexpected (e.g. opening car doors or cars backing
out of concealed driveways).
• Take extra care at intersections and when preparing to pass
other vehicles.
• Maintain a comfortable stopping distance from all other
riders, vehicles and objects. Safe braking distances and forces
are subject to the prevailing weather conditions. Do not lock
up the brakes. When braking, always apply the rear brake
first, then the front. The front brake is more powerful and if it
is not correctly applied, you may lose control and fall.
• Always use the correct hand signals to indicate turning
or stopping.
Road Conditions
• Be aware of road conditions. Concentrate on the path ahead.
Avoid pot holes, gravel, wet road markings, oil, curbs, speed
bumps, drain grates and other obstacles.
• Cross train tracks at a 90 degree angle or walk your bicycle
across.
Wet Weather
• When riding in wet weather always wear reflective clothing
and use safety lights to enhance visibility.
• Exercise extreme caution when riding in wet conditions.
• Ride at a slower speed. Turn corners gradually and avoid
sudden braking.
• Brake earlier, it will take a longer distance to stop.
• Pot holes and slippery surfaces such as line markings and train
tracks all become more hazardous when wet.
• Obey the traffic laws (e.g., stopping at a red light or stop sign,
giving way to pedestrians).

1 Safety
Night Riding
Cornering Technique
• Important! Riding a bicycle at night is not recommended.
Check your local laws regarding night riding.
• Brake slightly before cornering and prepare to lean your body
into the corner.
• Ensure bicycle is equipped with a full set of correctly
positioned and clean reflectors.
• Maintain the inside pedal at the 12 o’clock position and
slightly point the inside knee in the direction you are turning.
• Use a white light on the front and a red light on the rear.
Use lights with flashing capability for enhanced visibility.
• Keep the other leg straight, do not pedal through fast or tight
corners.
• If using battery powered lights, make sure batteries are
well charged.
• Decrease your riding speed, avoid sudden braking and
sharp turns.
• Wear reflective and light colored clothing. Wear reflective
clothing and use safety lights for increased visibility.
Safe Riding Rules for Children
• Ride at night only if necessary. Slow down and use familiar
roads with street lighting.
Hill Technique
• Many states require that children wear a helmet while cycling.
Always wear a properly fitted helmet.
• Do not play in driveways or the road.
• Do not ride on busy streets.
• Gear down before a climb and continue gearing down as
required to maintain pedaling speed.
• Do not ride at night.
• If you reach the lowest gear and are struggling, stand up on
your pedals. You will then obtain more power from each
pedal revolution.
• Be aware of other road vehicles behind and nearby.
• On the descent, use the high gears to avoid rapid pedaling.
• Do not exceed a comfortable speed; maintain control and
take additional care.
• Braking will require additional distance. Initiate braking slowly
and earlier than usual.
12
• Obey all the traffic laws, especially stop signs and red lights.
• Before entering a street: Stop, look left, right, and left again
for traffic. If there’s no traffic, 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 off the handlebars, or your feet off the
pedals when riding downhill.

❷ Using a 5 mm Allen wrench loosen the top cap bolt on the
steerer tube and remove the top cap and bolt. Important!
Do not remove the spacers. Figure 3.5
❸ Position the handlebar assembly over the steerer tube.
Look at all the cables to be sure they run in a smooth arc
from the shifter or brake lever to the front brake or cable
stop on the frame. Important! If they are twisted or kinked,
the shifting and braking will not work.
❹ While holding the fork assembly in place, use a 6 mm Allen
wrench and loosen the stem pinch bolts. Slide the handlebar
assembly onto the steerer tube.
❺ Align and center the stem to the fork and wheel. Tighten the
stem pinch bolts until there is no play between the stem and
stem tube. Note: There should be a 3 to 5 mm (1/8" - 3/16")
gap between the top of the stem and stem post. Figure 3.6
❻ Place the top cap onto the top of the steerer tube. Insert
and tighten the top cap bolt until it is snug. Do not over
tighten.
❼ Using a 5 mm Allen wrench tighten the top cap bolt. Do the
following checks to determine if the headset is properly set.
Tighten or loosen the top cap bolt if necessary.
• Lift up the front wheel of the bicycle, if the wheel does
not move freely left to right the headset is too tight.
• Hold the handlebar, close the brakes and rock the fork
back and forth. If you hear a knock or clunking sound the
headset is too loose.
Note: If needed, see Section 4: Adjusting the Headset for
more detailed information. See Section 4: Adjusting the

Important! Before riding the bicycle it is important to check the
brakes. If you squeeze the brake lever and one brake arm moves
more than the other (or not at all) the brake is not centered. You
will need to fine-tune the brake pads. Multiple adjustments may
be necessary to center the brake pads, correctly set the brake
pressure, and set the gap between the brake pad and rim.
Center the Brake Pads
Adjust the Brake Pad Alignment
❶ If you see the gap between the fork and wheel is uneven
loosen the axle nuts and adjust the wheel until centered.
Figure 4.6
Check that all brake pads are aligned correctly. If not, use a
5 mm allen wrench and loosen the bolt enough so you can
reposition the pad. Position the pad so it is evenly centered on
the rim. Retighten the bolt after positioning the pad correctly.
Figure 4.5
Rotate the wheel and look straight down at the gap between
the rim, brake pads, and fork. If you find the gap between these

• Start with the side where the pad is closest to the rim or
is not moving properly. Turn the screw to move the pad
towards or away from the rim.
• Adjustments to these screws should be made in small
increments, one-quarter to one-half turn then checked
by activating the brake lever three to four times after
each adjustment. If you continue to adjust the screw until
you have noticeable movement you will run out of
adjustment.
❸ Pull and release the brake lever a few times and check if the
pads are centered.
❹ If necessary, repeat steps one through three until the brake
pads are centered and the gap between the pads and rim is
close to 1/8 inch.
Note: If you run out of adjustment capability on one side,
adjust the screw on the opposite side. If you run out of
adjustment capability on both screws do a minor
adjustment to the brake cable. Adjustments should be made
to each side as equally as possible to prevent running out of
adjustment capability.

❸ 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 fine tuning brake cable tension.
Brake is correctly adjusted when:
• The brake pads do not drag on the rim when the brake is
open. Figure 4.15
• Both brake pads move away from the rim equally when the
brake is released.
• When the brake is applied, the brake pads contact the rim
before the brake lever reaches about 1/3 of the way to the
handlebar.

ADJUSTING THE SEAT HEIGHT
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.
❹ Try to close the quick-release lever. If it closes easily, open it
up, and tighten the adjustment nut further. If it is too
difficult to close, open the quick-release lever up, and loosen
the adjustment nut a little and try again.
Important! You should feel resistance when you close
the quick-release lever that should leave a temporary
impression on your fingers. Open and close the handle to
ensure the seat is securely locked in place.
❶ Unlock the quick-release lever. Figure 4.16
❷ Adjust the seat height up or down until the rider feels they
have control of the bicycle and are comfortable.

insertion marks on the stem post are not visible above the
top of the headset.
• Failure to properly tighten handlebar components may
result in loss of control, serious injury or death. Always
check the handlebar is functioning properly and secured to
the frame before riding the bicycle.
Adjusting the Handlebar Height
Instructions for adjusting the handlebar height depend on
whether your bicycle has a quill or clamp (threadless) stem.
Refer to Section 3: Attach the Handlebar for instructions on
adjusting the handlebar height.
❸ Tighten the stem binder bolt and check the handlebar is
securely attached and functioning properly.
Adjust the Handlebar Angle
❶ Using a 6 mm Allen wrench loosen the handlebar binder
bolt(s). Figure 4.17
❷ Rotate the handlebar into the desired position.
❸ Check that the handlebar is centered to the frame and front
wheel. Sit on the seat and check your reach to grips,
shifters, and brakes. Refer to Section 1: Seat Height and

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.
1
Conduct the following checks to determine if there is play in the
headset:
❶ 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 sensation or "clunk" it
means the headset is too loose.
❷ Stiffness: Lift the front of the frame so the front wheel is
off the ground. The handlebar and wheel should flop to
one side or another. If there is drag or binding the headset
is too tight.

❶ Loosen the top cap bolt and remove the top cap.
Important! Do not disassemble the headset or lose any
parts. Be sure the end of the fork is on the ground or being
held with your free hand, because once you loosen the top
cap the fork assembly may fall out of the frame. Figure 4.19
❷ Check that the gap between the top of the steerer tube and
top of the stem is between 3 - 5 mm (1/8" - 3/16").
Figure 4.20
If the gap is not correct add or remove spacers until it is.
The stem needs to press down on the spacers in order to
adjust the bearings. If the gap is correct then re-install the
top cap and tighten the top cap bolt until it is snug. Do not
over tighten.
❸ Slightly loosen the stem pinch bolts. The stem probably
won't move but make sure the stem remains aligned with
the fork and wheel.
❹ Re-install and tighten the top cap down with a 1/4 to 1/2
turn of the top cap screw and test for shakiness in the
headset. If there is still play in the headset then turn the top
cap bolt another 1/4 to 1/2 turn. Repeat this process until
the shakiness is gone.
❻ Repeat steps 3 and 4 until there is no play in the headset. If
the play in the headset cannot be rectified with these
adjustments see a qualified bicycle mechanic for these
repairs.

ADJUSTING THE BOTTOM BRACKET
Typically the bottom 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 bottom 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 bottom bracket
may be cleaned, greased and adjusted.
❹ Repeat process of checking for play and re-tightening cone a
slight amount until 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 bottom bracket.
Adjust as loose as possible but without play in the crank
assembly.
Crank arm
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
tightening in small increments until play is gone. Note: Extended
use may cause the bearings, cups (or cones) to become worn
and pitted. In this case, bearing adjustment will not be possible.
If bottom bracket is correctly adjusted, but grinds when spun,
cups and/or cones are worn and should be replaced. Figure 4.21
❶ Loosen the locknut. Turn adjusting cone counter-clockwise
until it hits the ball bearing, then turn back clockwise to
loosen 1/4 turn.
❷ Secure the locknut.
❸ Grab the end of the crank arms and rock it sideways to
check for play. If play is present, loosen locknut and turn
adjusting cone counter-clockwise slightly to tighten.
Re-secure locknut and check again.

WARNING!
Failure to follow all local and state regulations 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 regulations 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 condition before riding.
BRAKE OPERATION
There are two types of braking systems for bicycles; foot
operated and hand operated.
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 combination of foot and hand
operated brakes. It is OK to operate them at the same time 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.
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 tire
to skid. While this will decelerate the bicycle quickly, it will also
cause unnecessary wear on the tire, and terrain, and can cause a
loss of steering control.
It is recommended to practice braking so that you have control
over how quickly the bicycle comes to a stop. It is also important

Hand Operated Brakes
WARNING!
If the front brake is applied too quickly or too hard, the front
wheel can stop turning resulting in a front pitch over or cause
the bicycle to lose steering function leading to a crash.
Hand operated brakes have a separate hand lever to operate
front and rear brakes. Front hand brake levers are located on
the left side of the handlebar, and rear hand brake levers are
located on the right side of the handlebar. Figure 5.2
• Always test the brakes and be sure you feel comfortable with
the reaction. If the riding conditions are too steep (off road
for example) and you are unsure, dismount the bicycle and
walk past the questionable terrain before riding again.
• Remember that as you apply the brakes your weight will want
to shift forward, and the wheels will want to stop.
Note: See Section 4: Adjusting the Brakes for information on
brake adjustment.
Pull to engage brakes
Hand operated brakes may be used alone or on some models in
conjunction with foot operated brakes. It is OK to operate one
brake at a time or all together, depending on your style,
comfort, and riding conditions, however, be careful to pay close
attention to front brakes locking up.
To best avoid this:
• Apply the front and rear brakes simultaneously, while shifting
your body weight back slightly to compensate for braking
force.
Figure 5.2
• As terrain changes, the rider must practice and learn how the
bicycle will respond in a new terrain or weather change. The
same bicycle will react differently if it is wet, or if there is
gravel on the road etc.

SECURITY
You just bought a new bicycle! Don’t lose it. It is advisable that
the following steps be taken to prepare for and help prevent
possible theft:
• Maintain a record of the bicycle’s model number. Serial
number is underneath the bottom bracket. Model number is
above the bottom bracket. Figure 5.3
• Register the bicycle with the local police and/or bicycle
registry.
• Invest in a high quality bicycle lock that will resist hacksaws
and bolt cutters.
• Always lock your bicycle to an immovable object if it is left
unattended. Keep in mind that individual parts of a bicycle
may be stolen. Most commonly, if you lock just a wheel or just
the frame, other parts may be removed from the bicycle.
Although it is impossible to lock all the parts, it is suggested
to lock the major components if possible. Figure 5.4
Service sticker
and model
number is located
above the bottom
bracket area.
The serial number
is located under the
bottom bracket.
Figure 5.3
• Use a lock that is long enough to lock the frame and both
wheels if possible. Some models with quick-release front
wheels allow the front wheel to be placed beside the frame
so a smaller lock can be used to lock all 3 components.
• Be aware that a quick-release seat post can be stolen. It is
recommended to remove the seat post and saddle and carry
it with you if you believe that this is a risk.

❻ Maintenance
WARNING!
• Failure to conduct maintenance on the bicycle may result
in malfunction of a critical part and serious injury or death. Proper maintenance is critical to the performance and safe
operation of the bicycle.
• The recommended intervals and need for lubrication and
maintenance may vary depending on conditions the bicycle
is exposed to. Always inspect the bicycle and conduct
necessary maintenance before each use of the bicycle.
This section presents important information on maintenance
and will assist you in determining the proper course of action to
take if you do have a problem with the operation of the bicycle.
If you have questions regarding maintenance please call our
customer service, toll free, at 1-800-626-2811 or see a qualified
bicycle mechanic. Do not call the store where the bicycle was
purchased.
Correct routine maintenance of your new bike
will ensure:
• Smooth running
• Longer lasting components
• Safer riding
• Lower running costs
BASIC MAINTENANCE
The following procedures will help you maintain your bicycle for
years of enjoyable riding.
• For painted frames, dust the surface and remove any loose
dirt with a dry cloth. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth soaked
in a mild detergent mixture. Dry with a cloth and polish with
car or furniture wax. Use soap and water to clean plastic
parts and rubber tires. Chrome plated bikes should be wiped
over with a rust preventative fluid.
• Store your bicycle under shelter. Avoid leaving it in the rain
or exposed to corrosive materials.
• Riding on the beach or in coastal areas exposes your bicycle
to salt which is very corrosive. Wash your bicycle frequently
and wipe or spray all unpainted parts with an anti-rust
treatment. Make sure wheel rims are dry so braking
performance is not affected. After rain, dry your bicycle and
apply anti-rust treatment. If the hub and bottom bracket
bearings of your bicycle have been submerged in water, they
should be taken out and re-greased. This will prevent
accelerated bearing deterioration.
• If paint has become scratched or chipped to the metal, use
touch up paint to prevent rust. Clear nail polish can also be
used as a preventative measure.
• Regularly clean and lubricate all moving parts, tighten
components and make adjustments as required.
