INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your new bike and
thanks for choosing YT INDUSTRIES.
PLEASE NOTE:
A mountain bike is a piece of technical sports equipment that in order to
function properly and sustainably satisfy the user demands a certain level of
technical know-how as well as assembly and maintenance skills.
Furthermore we assume that the users of our bikes possess suitable tools in
order to execute the necessary assembly steps without damaging the parts.
These assembly instructions cannot replace professional instruction or training
as bike mechanic. This manual is not intended to provide the knowledge
nor the skills required for professionally assembling a piece of
high tech sports equipment, like a mountain bike,

ATTENTION:

from single parts or for repairing such equipment.

Please understand that in case of self-executed repairs and/or
on-professional maintenance warranty on components shall be void
and we shall not accept liability for consequential accidents or damages.

maintenance and repairs appropriately, seek out a bike shop!

Of course, you can always contact us if you have any queries.
But exclusion from warranty and limitations of our liability apply in

this case, too. When dealing with inquires by phone or mail,

we cannot ensure that the extent and the nature of the problems and
the applicable remedies have been described correctly and completely
and therefore we cannot control whether our work instructions have

longer hear a clicking sound. Remove the axle using a 6 mm Allen wrench on
the side with the rebound adjuster knob.
c Remove the pad spacer from the front brake caliper by pulling it straight outwards.
Store the spacer in a secure location as it can be used to prevent the brakes engaging
and pushing the brake pads out when transporting the bike without its wheels.

d Now insert the front wheel in the fork dropouts.

Ensure that the hub is sitting correctly in the dropouts,
and that the brake rotor is positioned between the brake pads.
e Now the front axle can be inserted.

f Slide the lightly greased axle through the hub until the thread
engages the opposite dropout and tighten the axle

b
Excess grease can be wiped away after the pedals have been installed.

c Install the pedals using an Allen wrench (the size will vary by pedal manufacturer). The
drive side pedal has standard threading and the non-drive side pedal has reverse threading. Therefore, the non-drive side pedal is tightened by screwing it in counterclockwise.
Tighten the pedals using the torque wrench.
