Installing pedals
Always . have . your . pedals . installed . or . changed . by .
your .FLYER .specialist .retailer, .and .feel .free .to .ask .
for .advice .on .correct .handling.
Pedals .must .be .installed .with .a .suitable .spanner. .
Please note that the two pedals are screwed on
in different directions and must be fastened with
high .torque .(see ."Technical .data"). .Apply .assem-
bly .grease .to .both .threads.
Please take note that the right pedal is different from
the .left. .You .can .recognise .which .pedal .belongs .on .
which side from the screws which turn in opposite
directions. .Usually, .an ."R" .is .embossed .on .the .right .
pedal .and .an ."L" .on .the .left. .Screw .the .right .pedal .
clockwise .and .the .left .pedal .anti-clockwise .into .the .
cranks. .
The pedals must be fastened with a suit-
able . spanner. . Observe . the . correct . fas-
tening . t orque . w hen . a ttaching . t he . p edals.
Ensure . t hat . t he . p edals . a re . fi tted . s traight. .
If . they . are . fitted . at . an . angle, . there . is . a .
danger that they will break and cause a
fall.
For safety reasons, we strongly advise
not .using .pedals .with .clips .or .straps.
Ensure that you have read the manufac-
turer's instructions before using clipless
or .step-in .pedals. .Practise .clipping .your .
shoes . in . and . out . of . the . pedals' . locking .
system . before . your . first . ride . in . a . quiet, .
safe .place. .Clipless .pedals .which .do .not .
properly .release .are .a .safety .hazard.
The .release .force .of .step-in .pedals .can .
be .adjusted. .Please .test .this .on .your .first .
ride . with . a . setting . that . releases . easily. .
Regularly . clean . the . step-in . pedals . and .
service .them .with .a .suitable .lubricant.
The .pedal .surfaces .may .be .very .rough. .
This . improves . the . grip . on . the . pedal. .
Leather . soles . may . be . damaged . by . the .
rough .surface. .
11.1 Operating quick-release
fasteners and axles
The wheels, seat post, seat, stem and handlebars
may . be . attached . with . quick-release . fasteners, .
quick-release .axles .or .screw .connections.
Only . a llow . y our . F LYER . s pecialist . r etailer .
to .perform .work .on .quick-release .fasten-
ers . and . quick-release . axles. .These . are .
components which are crucial for your
safety, so incorrect work and tools in this
area of the bicycle could lead to serious
falls.
Quick-release fasteners
Quick-release . fasteners . are . clamping . brackets .
which attach components like a screw, however
their clamping force stems from tightening the le-
ver .without .tools. .The .clamping .force .is .activated .
by .opening .and .closing .the .lever. .
The . clamping . force . is . adjusted . by . turning . the .
counter .nut .when .the .lever .is .open. .
1. .In . order . to . open . a . quick-release . fastener, . to .
adjust . the . seat . post . for . example, . open . the .
quick-release .lever.
