Install the pedals, remembering that the right pedal (R) screws in clockwise and the left pedal (L) screws in counterclockwise. Install any additional components such as fenders, racks, or accessories according to your Preferred position.

5

Safety Checks

Double-check all bolts and fasteners to ensure they are properly tightened. Inspect the brakes, ensuring they are adjusted and aligned correctly. Check the tire pressure using a bicycle pump, inflating them by pressing the tyre. (Using Machine PSI values is not Recommended as it might not be accurate at shops). Conduct a final visual inspection of the entire bicycle to ensure everything is fitted.

6

Safety Measures

Wear appropriate safety gear throughout the assembly process, including gloves and protective eyewear. Take breaks as needed to prevent fatigue and maintain focus. If you encounter any difficulties or uncertainties during assembly, check with the video tutorials provided below.
