February 23, 2024

So, you got your new bike! Thanks so much from ordering from us. We’re an independent bike shop and we package each order in our shop. I can tell you’re itching to get pedaling, there’s only a few easy things to do to get your bike road ready. We’ll walk you through the short process.

Materials Needed:

Metric allen key set (usually a 4mm or 5mm)

Step-by-Step Guide:

Unboxing:

Open the box carefully and inspect the contents.
Ensure that all components are included.
Remove all the packaging from the frame and components.

Attaching the Handlebar:

Align the handlebar with the stem using the markings in the center of the bar.
Use the allen wrench to secure the handlebar in place in an x-pattern. Tighten each bolt a little at a time to ensure that even force is being clamped on the bar.

Installing the Wheel:

Place the wheel in the dropouts.
Tighten the bolts securely using the metric allen wrench or install the quick release skewer, tighten, and clamp down.

Inserting the Seat Post:

Slide the seat post into the designated slot.
Adjust the height based on personal preference.
Secure the seat post using the allen wrench.

Final Check:

Ensure all bolts are tightened securely.
Double-check the alignment of the handlebar.

Boom! Look at that, you’ve got a ready-to-ride bike on your hands. Now, quit reading. It’s time to ride!
