PLEASE NOTE: We no longer include the tools (a multi-use spanner and a set of Allen keys) in the box.
Here are written instructions for the videos above:
- Turn the handlebars until they’re dead straight and centred over the front fork.
- Fit the saddle on the seat post and tighten up, making sure it’s at the right height and angle for your riding style.
- Pop the front wheel back into the front forks and tighten (even easier if it’s got a quick release skewer).
- Pop the rear wheel into the rear triangle and tighten (even easier if it’s got a quick release skewer) Whilst taking care not to damage/bend rear mech.
- Make sure both front and rear brakes are working.
- Thread the pedals back onto the crank arms. They screw in the opposite way to everyday screws, which means they’ll only get tighter as you ride.
- If the bike has a front mudguard, we’ve had to remove that too (our courier is very particular!). It simply screws back onto the front fork, secured at the top by the bolt that also attaches the brakes to the bike.
