Pushing the X-Bars left and right to gain as much access as possible. The photo below shows the bars with all four covers removed for clarity Reinstall the side covers Install Bottom Skirt Install Left and Right Bolts Finial Setup 1. Adjusting the Seat Adjust the seat post so that it is level, or slightly up at the nose. To do this it s necessary to first loosen the left and right clamps in the seat rails, and then rotate the seat as required. If smaller adjustments than the clamp detents allow are required, moving the seat fore or aft in the clamps will adjust the nose up or down OK 2. Installing the X Bar Remove the handlebar clamp on top Place the handlebars into the clamp so Place the marked clamp area of of the X-Bars that the shifter is on the right hand side the handlebars centrally in the Right hand side of the bike with the clamp to ensure to provide cable exit in front of the bars. maximum grip from the clamp. The brake lever is on the Left side 3
Apply a thin layer of grease to the threads of the four clamp bolts Install the clamp and finger tighten the bolts diagonally to ensure there is an even/light pressure applied to all four bolts. Fine tuning the Handle Bar Setting Just before the clamp takes pressure, adjust the orientation of the bars so that the exit route of the Grip-shift & brake lever has approximately 5mm (1/4 ) clearance with the top of the Cover AND the slight bends in the handlebars are angled toward to rider compartment and up at appx. 20 degrees above horizontal to the ground when viewed at eye level from one side or the other In order to have the Grip-shift clear the top of the cover AND have the bends in the handlebars set at 20 degrees above horizontal it may be necessary to loosen the 2.5mm hex bolt on the backside of the shifter and rotate the unit approximately 5mm (1/4 ) or so on the handlebar. If ok then tighten bolts in an X pattern Installation of the new shifter Note: You will need to remove the current shifter and brake lever on the bike. 1. Remove the old shifter from 2.

While pedaling the X-Bike with the resistance on med-low (but not entirely off) spray the lubricant on the edge of the flywheel where the resistance pads squeeze against it, just above where the pad contacts the flywheel. Only do this if a cable adjustment will not solve the problem. Make sure you apply the spray all the way round the flywheel on both sides. 2. Continue pedaling for 10-20 seconds and then wipe away the excess lubricant. NOTE: After spraying the wheel it will slide nicely through the pads and improve the overall resistance actuation. Do this weekly to keep them that way. 3. If for some reason the resistance feels too easy after spraying the wheel you can tighten it up by turning the barrel adjuster located where the cable enters into the brake and turn it left or right for more or less resistance. If you NOTE: If after using the barrel adjuster to adjust the cable tension and the tension is still too loose you may need to adjust the brake cable. 1. Make Sure you have the shifter set to low 2. With a 5mm Allen wrench loosen the anchor bolt and pull the cable tighter. 3. Tighten the ancor bolt 4. The correct tension on the cable will be when the shifter click up a few it makes slight contact with the Flywheel. 6
