ASSEMBLING YOUR BIKE
1. Pull out all the parts from the shipping carton.
2. Check to make sure that no parts are lying loose on the
bottom of the carton.
3. Carefully detach all other packing material from the
bicycle frame. This includes zip ties and foam material
protecting the frame.

4. Similarly, turning the spindle counter clockwise by hand,
thread the pedal marked ‘L’ into the crank arm on the left
side of the bike.
5. Make sure that you are not “cross-threading”, which can
strip the threads in the crank arm. If the threads do not
turn easily, don’t force them. Back the spindle out and
start over.
6. Once the pedals are threaded into the crank arm, tighten
the spindle securely to the crank arm with a 15mm open
end spanner.

Handlebar Installation (Tool required: 4 mm Allen key)
1. Start by loosening the stem clamp bolts.
2. Insert the handlebar into the stem and place it such that
the splines on the handlebar align with the stem clamp.
3. Tighten the stem clamp bolts securely to 8 N-m.
4. It is advisable that you follow the X-pattern and a torque
wrench for tightening the bolts (As shown in the Picture).

4. Tighten the seat post clamp bolt at the desired height to 8
N-m.
THE SEATPOST ‘MINIMUM INSERTION’ MARK SHOULD NOT BE VISIBLE
WHEN THE SEAT POST IS INSERTED INTO THE SEAT TUBE OF THE
BIKE.
Saddle height
Correct saddle height helps to obtain most comfortable riding
position and maximum pedalling efficiency.
While sitting on the bicycle with one pedal at its lowest point,
place the heel of your foot on the pedal. The correct saddle
height will allow the knee to be slightly bent in this position.
The most optimum height for performance and comfort is
8 scolariAn www.scolarian.com
when the angle formed between the femur bone and the leg
(shin) bone at the knee joint is between 250 - 350 in the above
said bent position.

Rear Wheel Flip (Tool required: 15mm Spanner, 3mm Allen Key)
The Flip-Flop hub installed in this bike allows you to ride your
bicycle in two modes, fixed gear and freewheel. When you
purchase your bike, the fixed fear sprocket will be on the right
(chain) side of the bike. But if you find yourself tired of the
constant pedalling, simply flip the wheel and use the
freewheel. To change from one mode to the other follow the
following steps:
1. Unscrew the axle nuts from the rear axle using a 15mm
Spanner.
2. Unscrew the chain tensioners to loosen the chain using the
3mm Allen Key. See the illustration.
3. Slide the wheel forward so that the axle is free of the
frame dropouts, and slip the chain off the rear sprocket.
4. Flip the wheel around and slide the chain onto the new
sprocket.
5. Slide the wheel back into the frame dropouts and tighten
the chain tensioners such that the chain becomes tight and
the wheel is centered. *Tighten both the tensioners
simultaneously/ to equal length to avoid the wheel to be
installed incorrectly.
6. Tighten the axle nuts securely.

7. Spin the wheel to make sure the wheel is centered and
does not wobble. If it is not centered, loosen the nuts and
try again. A slight adjustment to the tensioners should do
the job.
11 scolariAn www.scolarian.com
Brake Lever (Tool required: 5mm Allen Key)
1. Unscrew the clamp bolt completely and place the lever on
the handlebar near the grip end such that the clamp wraps
around the bar.
2. Place the bolt back through the clamp bolt hole. Make sure
the Hex bolt side of the clamp is facing downwards. If it is
not, then you have placed the lever on the wrong hand
side. Unclamp it and place it on the other hand side of the
bar. Fasten the bolt using a 5mm Allen Key to secure the
lever tightly on the bar.
Brake Caliper
The Brake Caliper can be adjusted at Two points, Adjustment
at the Anchor Bolt lets you adjust the brake lever travel and
adjustment at the Brake Shoe alignment bolt lets you align the
brake pads to the wheel braking zone.
Adjustment of Brake Lever Travel (Tool required: 5mm Allen Key):
1. Unscrew the Cable Anchor Nut and make sure that the
quick release lever is facing down.
2. Squeeze both sides of the brake shoes together towards
the rim and hold it in position. The closer you bring the
pads to the rim, the less lever travel you will get. Brake pad
clearance should be maximum 2mm from the rim.

3. After the satisfying adjustment position is reached and
held. Tighten the Anchor bolt. Again make sure that the
quick release lever is facing down.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Tires and Tubes
Check the sidewall of the tire for the correct tire pressure (PSI)
and inflate tires accordingly with a Manual Bicycle Pump. Due
to the slightly porous nature of a bicycle inner tube, it is
normal for your bike tires to lose pressure over time. For this
reason it is critically important to maintain the proper tire
inflation on your bike.
Check your tire pressure before every ride.
Your Scolarian Bike comes fitted with a standard Kenda KWEST
Tire which has a maximum tire pressure 110 psi.
WARNING! NEVER INFLATE A TIRE BEYOND THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE
MARKED ON THE TIRE’S SIDEWALL. EXCEEDING THE RECOMMENDED
MAXIMUM PRESSURE MAY LEAD TO THE TIRE BEING BURST OFF THE RIM,
WHICH COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BIKE AND INJURY TO THE RIDER AND
OTHERS.THE BEST WAY TO INFLATE A BICYCLE TIRE TO THE CORRECT
PRESSURE IS WITH A BICYCLE PUMP. PETROL PUMP AIR HOSES MOVE LARGE
VOLUMES OF AIR VERY RAPIDLY, AND WILL RAISE THE PRESSURE IN YOUR
TIRE VERY RAPIDLY. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND USING PETROL PUMP AIR
HOSES.
Reflectors
Each Scolarian Bike is supplied with one front (White) and one
rear (Red) reflector. Apart from these, two wheel reflectors
14 scolariAn www.scolarian.com
(white) and four pedal (orange) reflectors come attached as
standard safety attachments. It is highly advisable to fit all of
these for your own safety. If not, please attach LED back lights
and use a good quality front torch.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Correct routine maintenance of your new bike will ensure a longer
life for your bike and a safer ride for you. Every time you ride your
bike, its condition changes. The more you ride, the more frequently
maintenance will be required. We recommend you spend a little time
on regular maintenance tasks. The following will help you in knowing
what tasks need to be performed and how often.
Lubrication:
Frequency Component Lubricant How to Lubricate
chain lube or
Weekly Chain light oil Brush or squirt
Brake calipers oil 3 drops from oil can
Brake levers oil 2 drops from oil can
