Perform this check by standing in front of the bike, holding the front wheel between your knees, and twisting the handlebars. You can prevent any movement by tightening the stem bolts and the handlebar clamp with an allen key. Plus, giving your fork and shock a few seconds of attention here and there can prevent costly repairs or even replacements.
Dirt is the number one enemy of suspension. After every ride make sure to wipe the seal area and stanchions of your fork and shock. Every few rides double check that your suspension sag is correct, as well as your rebound and compression adjustments. Working on your bike at home can seem daunting, and we'd always recommend you take your bike to a qualified mechanic if possible.
One of our Cytech qualified mechanics will hand build your bike leaving only a few minor adjustments for you to do once your new bike arrives. Our mechanic will also complete a rigorous Pre-Delivery Inspection PDI before carefully re-packing for shipping to you; but in order to fit the bike back into its box for delivery, some disassembly has to be done.
Re-assembly of these parts should be straightforward and should not take very long. Tools You'll Need Not Provided A multi-tool or a 4mm or 5mm Allen key, a pedal wrench or 15mm Allen key, depending on your pedals and a pair of scissors to open the box and cut the zip-ties with. Open the Box and Remove Your Bike Carefully remove your bike from the box and remove all of the packaging and zip ties with your scissors or snips.
Never use a sharp knife as this can easily result in damage to paintwork and tyre sidewalls. Pedals and quick release if supplied will be in a small box at the bottom of your package as well as an instruction manual for your specific bike. Make sure you keep hold of this as it contains your bike's serial number. Secure Your Front Wheel Bikes will be delivered with the rear wheel already fitted so all you have to do is slide in the front wheel.
First, remove the plastic fork spacer, along with any other packing material. Set the frame upright on the ground and attach the wheel. Make sure that the brake is properly aligned and that the wheel is sitting straight.
Next, tighten the quick release skewer if supplied and make sure that the brake quick release is tightened. Attach the Handlebars Using a multi-tool or a 4 or 5mm Allen key, clamp the faceplate over the bars so that they are fastened securely but not so tight that you cannot change the angle of the bars.
Note many models of handlebar have handy measurement markers, allowing you to find your perfect angle. Fit Your Pedals It is important to note that pedal threads are different from left side and right side. The right side pedal has a right-hand thread removes anti-clockwise, installs clockwise.
The left side pedal has a left-hand thread removes clockwise, installs anti-clockwise. The pedals will have grease applied to the threads, do not wipe this off. Follow the direction arrows on the stickers to ensure the pedal threads engage correctly then tighten them with a 15mm pedal wrench or Allen key where applicable. Fit Your Saddle The seatpost has already been greased so all you have to do is slide the post into the frame at your desired height and tighten the seat clamp using your multi-tool.
Final Checks Finally give your bike a final check over to ensure your handlebars and seat post clamp are tightened securely, and also that your brakes' quick releases are in the closed position.
