How to Assemble a Trekking 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 bicycle, 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 front plate of the stem (usually four bolts), position the handlebars, and screw the plate back on. Aluminum stems must be tightened evenly and carefully — check the Nm torque specification 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).
Before mounting the front wheel, you must disconnect the front brake. Simply unhook the brake cable from the right brake arm — no tools required.
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 the wheel is properly seated.
After installing and securing the front wheel, don’t forget to reconnect the front brake.
Install the pedals using a 15 mm wrench. Note: right pedal = right-hand thread, left pedal = left-hand thread — they cannot be interchanged. Tighten both pedals in the direction of pedaling.
Pedal Installation Guide
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
- 15 mm wrench (or suitable Allen key if the pedals have an internal hex fitting)
- Grease
- Right and left pedal (marked “R” and “L” on the axle)
Instructions:
-
Identify the right and left pedals:
- The right pedal is marked “R” (right) – install it on the right side of the bike (chain side).
- The left pedal is marked “L” (left) – install it on the left side.
- Note: the right pedal has a right-hand thread, and the left pedal has a left-hand thread.
-
Grease the pedal threads:
Apply a thin layer of grease to the threads to prevent seizing and corrosion. -
Screw in the pedals by hand:
Start threading by hand — the pedal should engage smoothly:- Right pedal: tighten clockwise (in the riding direction).
- Left pedal: tighten counterclockwise (also in the riding direction).
-
Tighten with a wrench:
Use a 15 mm wrench and tighten both pedals firmly in the riding direction.
Note: Incorrect installation or cross-threading may cause irreversible damage to the
