How to fold
 |
Step 1: Using the appropriate hex wrench, remove or loosen the
seat post
on your bike. |
 |
Step 2: Run the provided strap thru the seat tube and the front wheel
– step on the end to tighten the strap and reduce the tension
on the cable. Now pull the grenade pin
that is connecting the cable
and the bottom bracket. |
 |
Step 3: Undo front brake and remove the front wheel. |
 |
Step 4: There are two types of bolts that are used to lock the
seat collar into position on the boom tube
: quick release and race
bolt (Allen). If you have a QR - open, unscrew the bottom nut and
remove the bolt. If you have a race bolt – use a 6mm hex wrench
on the top and a 15 mm socket on the bottom to loosen the bolt and
remove.IMPORTANT: When re-assembling your bike, make sure you tighten the quick release before you install the seat post. |
 |
Step 5: Fold the rear triangle toward the cables. If your bike has V-brakes
, you may need to create space for pivoting by sliding the collar up the seat tube before folding. |

handlebars and rear wheel.(additional information on these steps can be found in the “how to assemble” section.) |
