XYZ Beach Cruisers Blog

We require that every customer have bicycle professionally assembled in bike shop. The following instructions are for information only intended for bike shops. To assemble a beach cruiser you will need a tire pump, screwdriver, alan wrench, scissors, 5/8 wrench and 14 mm wrench.

Open the box:

Lay down all the parts on cartoon box. That way you will not scratch the frame.

Carefully remove the remaining plastic covers. It is easy to scratch your new bike so be very careful.

First attach the front fender. You have to do it before putting on the front wheel. Tighten the bolts just by hand.

Loose the bolts on each side of the front wheel. Stand the bike and attach the front wheel.

Tighten the bolts by hand (make sure that the security washer is correctly installed) and then use wrench for final tightening. Then put kick stand down and stand bike upright.

Install handlebars. The stem of the handlebars will fit into a hole on top of the fork. Insert stem and adjust to your desired height. Then tighten the bolt on top of the handlebars.

Adjust the angle of the handlebars. First loosen the bolts, adjust the angle and then tighten them.

Open the small box. It has pedals, reflectors and some long bolt, washer, nut and two small bolts. The bolts and nut are for fenders installation. If you purchase fenders you will need them so don’t throw them away.

Install pedals. One pedal is for right side and the second for left side. They are not interchangeable! Check the “R” and “L” to see which pedal is right and left.

The left pedal must be tightened using opposite (left) rotation.

Install seat. Insert seat post in to the bottom of the saddle and tighten it up.

I also recommend to tighten the nuts in the bottom of the saddle. If you saddle is making squeaking sound it will disappear after tightening of these nuts.

Secure seat post.

Front Deflector

The front deflector is white, square in shape and usually comes in two main pieces: a black plastic folding arm and the deflector itself. The deflector piece should be attached to the shorter segment of the folding plastic arm so that both pieces sit flush with each other, then insert the half inch screw into the back of the arm securing both pieces together. In order to attach the deflector on the front of the bike position the deflector so that it is facing up and away from the bicycle. Then using the long screw that comes with the kit, insert the screw through the plastic and into the hole, which is centered on the front post of the bike. Once inserted, fasten the washer and the nut to the screw behind the front post to secure the deflector.

Rear Seat Deflector

The rear seat deflector is red, square in shape and attaches to the bicycle by a small black plastic folding arm with a ring at one end. This deflector can be attached before or after the seat has been installed. To attach the deflector to the plastic arm, position the actual deflector to the outside of the flat end of the extension so that both pieces sit flush with one another. Once positioned correctly, fasten the deflector to the arm using the washer and nut provided. In order to fasten the deflector on the back of the bike you must first remove the screw at the base of the plastic ring. Once the ring is loosened you can then slide the ring down and around the post on which the seat attaches (this is if the seat has not already been installed), or snap it on to the post on which the seat also attaches to. Make sure to attach it so that the extension on which the deflector attaches hangs downwards. Once in place, reinsert the screw through the base of the ring to securely fasten in.

Rear Fender Deflector

In order to install the rear fender deflector the rear fender must not already be attached to the bicycle. This deflector is red, in the shape of an oval and comes with a nut that screws on to the back of the deflector in or order to firmly attach it to the fender. Centered on the back of the rear fender is a hole where the screw, which is already attached to the deflector, is inserted. Once inserted in the fender the nut should be screwed on to the back of the screw as tight as possible to make sure it is secure.

Pump the tires.

It is all done. Congratulations!
