your bike together and get riding

The first thing you need to do is take the bike out of the box

carefully removing the staples on the end

So now the bike is out of the box, we locate the Chain Reaction Cycles bag

Here it is

There's everything in this bag to get your bike up and running

Including a pair of pedals

A pedal spanner

A multitool

waterbottle

High 5 nutrition

And the all important PDI sheet

Letting you know that your bike has been checked over by one of our trained mechanics

Before it leaves us

That includes checks on the wheels, drivetrain, brakes and controls

Next up you just need to remove all the packaging from around the bike

Ok that's all the packaging off, now it's time to fit the handlebar

now it's time to fit the handlebars

You need to remove the stem

There are four bolts in the stem

and you'll remove them using the tools included with your bike box

So let's go

Make sure when when you're removing the bolts, the washer stays on

So now it's time to fit the handlebar in the stem

You've got a set of guidelines on the front of the bar

Get it, so that this line, lines up to the centre of the stem here.

Get it just about right for now

Then you can fit the stem cap back on and adjust to your liking later on

Each side are on now

Located again, to the centre, get it about right

Begin to evenly tighten each of the bolts up

Before you get them fully tightened, what you want to do

Is make sure the bar position is as you'd like it

Spin it round, so for now, keep this part of the bar parallel to the floor

Feels about right

and then tighten the bolts up

all the way

ok now the bars are in,

you're happy with them,

time to move on to the pedals

Now it's time to fit the pedals

We include a pair like this with every bike we send out

but most enthusiast riders will be fitting their own

It's useful to note, that there's a right hand side and a left hand side pedal

which needs to go in the corresponding right hand and left hand crank arm

so let's start with the right hand side

and the right hand pedal

to attach it, you just put it in parallel

and turn towards the front of the bike

Do it up by hand as much as possible

and then you're going to need the pedal spanner we include with the bike

just to tighten it up fully

Then on to the left hand side

That's the pedals attached

Buying a bike from Chain Reaction Cycles is as easy as that

You remove the packaging

attach the handlebars

pop the pedals on

and you're ready to ride
