2. Using a 6mm hex key, loosen the bolt at the bottom of the V-Brake to release the
resistance cable.
3. Pull the resistance cable out of the assembly and all the way through the outer sleeve at
the top of the bike (You will have to cut off the protective nipple at the end of the cable
using a snips in order pull it through the sleeve).
4. Ensure that you only use recommended replacement parts as other units may not perform
as intended and will affect the warranty on the bike.
5. From the new Grip-shift™, feed the cable down through the outer sleeve and in through
the V-Brake assembly. (Fit a new protective nipple to the end of the cable by squeezing
with pliers).
6. Place the handlebars back into the top clamp and tighten up by following procedures 8 to
12 within the section for “Replacing the Handlebars” above.
7. To set the resistance, turn the Grip-shift™ fully clockwise to the minimum resistance
setting. Using one hand, compress the 2 pads of the V-Brake to just make contact with
the flywheel. Pull the excess cable until it is tight in the cable clamp. Retighten the bolt to
secure the cable.
8. The resistance is set, when the minimum setting is free from contact with the flywheel
and position 2 just makes contact.
Removing Pedal Crank Arms
Left Crank Arm
1. Use an 8mm Hex key to remove the pedal crank bolt.
2. Thread a bicycle crank arm puller onto the crank arm shaft.
3. As you tighten the crank arm puller on the shaft, the crank arm will be extracted from the
crank arm shaft. Remove the crank arm from the frame.
4. Apply a thin coat of grease on the right bottom bracket shaft and install the right crank
arm on the bottom bracket spindle. Align the right crank arm 180º from the right crank
arm and push the crank arm onto the crank arm shaft.
5. Apply 1-2 drops of Loctite® 222 on the left crank arm bolt threads. Install the crank arm
bolt and tighten to secure the crank arm. Rotate the pedals a few revolutions and then
tighten the crank arm bolt again to ensure that the crank arm is tightened to a torque of
22ft/lb (30Nm)
NOTE: Inspect the Pedal crank arm bolts again after 30 hours (approx. one week). If
loose, remove the bolts; apply Loctite®222 and reinstall. Retighten the bolts to 22ft/lb
(30Nm).
Monitor over the following week and if the problem persists, contact your
service department (Details for your closest dealer found at www.trixter.net )
