How to Assemble a Road Bike

You have received a box containing your bicycle, approximately 130 x 75 x 20 cm in size.

Inside the box, you will find the packaged road bike, the saddle, and a small box with accessories.

Remove all packaging materials from the bike (zip ties, foam, cardboard, and plastic covers). Prepare the parts from the accessory box and unpack the saddle.

Install the handlebars using a 4, 5, or 6 mm Allen key. Unscrew the faceplate of the stem (usually four bolts), place the handlebars, and screw the faceplate back on. Tighten the bolts carefully and evenly. Refer to the torque specification (Nm) printed on the stem.

Insert the seat post with the mounted saddle into the frame and secure it with a quick-release lever or an Allen bolt (4, 5, or 6 mm).

Insert the quick-release skewer into the front wheel and screw on the end nut.

Place the front wheel into the fork dropouts from below, tighten the quick-release skewer nut, and secure it by closing the lever. Adjust the nut so that the lever closes firmly but without excessive force. Keep the lever open, press down on the handlebars toward the ground, and then close the lever — this ensures proper wheel alignment.

Important:

All other bolts are already tightened, and the brakes and gears are adjusted.

The only thing left to do is to ride the first 1–100 km to allow everything to “settle in.” After that, we recommend checking all bolts (handlebars, stem, cranks, brakes, etc.).

All bicycles are pre-adjusted and inspected before shipping to prevent unnecessary claims. However, every bike will need readjustment sooner or later — adjusted does not mean adjusted forever.
