How to Assemble the 26" Hyper Bicycles Shocker Mountain Bike

Begin by carefully removing all packaging materials to access the bike components. This ensures a clean workspace and prevents damage to the parts. Once the packaging is cleared, you can easily proceed with assembling your bike.

Secure the steer tube into the head tube of the bike frame. Tighten the upper nut properly to ensure stability. This is a crucial step to prevent any looseness that could affect your bike’s handling and overall ride stability.

Before attaching the front wheel, release the brake caliper and ensure the safety tabs are properly positioned. Insert the front wheel into the fork and tighten the wheel nuts securely. This ensures safe handling and proper alignment of the wheel.

Remove the pedals from the parts box. Remember that the right pedal (drive side) uses standard threading, while the left pedal (non-drive side) has reverse threading. Install each pedal by aligning the threads carefully, turning the right pedal clockwise and the left pedal counterclockwise.

Properly attach the front brake using the catch and J noodle to ensure correct alignment. This is essential for the brakes to perform effectively. Check the rear brake as well and make sure it is properly adjusted for balanced braking performance.

Adjust the derailleur limits to ensure smooth gear shifting. This step is important for optimal performance of the bike’s gears, preventing the chain from slipping or jamming during rides.

For safety, install both the front and rear reflectors securely using a Phillips head screwdriver. Reflectors increase your visibility and are especially important when riding in low light conditions.

Before hitting the road, check the tire inflation. Ensure that the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure indicated on the tire sidewall. Proper tire pressure contributes to safer handling and a smoother ride.

Do a thorough check of the bike’s components:

• Wheel Nuts: Ensure all wheel nuts are tight and secure.
• 
Handlebars: Test the handlebars by gently trying to rotate them to ensure they are stable and properly secured.
• Brake Pads: Check that the brake pads align properly with the rims for effective stopping power.

Finally, complete and submit your warranty card for peace of mind. Make sure to record your bike’s serial number, located under the bottom bracket, to ensure you are covered in case of any issues.
