Little Red bag with a few screws that I have no clue where they go: Lol

Done:

Bike is sleeping along with my son's Wahoo:

Thanks guys for any comments on any precious posts.... I would like to know where those screws in the red bag go.... How much air goes in the tire.... Does the fork come preset or do I need to put air in it.... And how do make the front brakes tighter as they are a bit on the lose end... Thanks in advance.

Nice bike, I think that bag of screws is for the front and rear reflectors.

Looking good, congrats! Nice choice on the pedals. Ride the snot out of it.

Congrats! Such a cool bike!

Ride it tons!!

How'd you get your dog to walk on the ceiling like that?

Nice bike, I think that bag of screws is for the front and rear reflectors.

That's correct. And the two little silver things are extra cable ends if you decide to trim down your cables.

The fork is pre-set to a rider average weight of around 175. Consider getting a shock pump to do your own maintenance and adjustments.

Lol.... Been trying to correct these damn pics... I took them with the ipad and iphone and posted them trough the ipad and they were posted upside down... Lol

And thanks guys... And yeah, I think the screws are for the reflectors I won't be using... Lol

Can this thread be deleted so I can repost?

You'd have to contact a site admin to make that happen. I'd recommend instead that you just delete the unwanted images by editing your original post and then maybe post in this thread again with the corrected images.

Hope that helps!

Lol. I tried that. Question for you Jeremy... I got the bike, put it together. Is there any adjusting or tuning that needs to be done? The front brake I feel Is too soft and do I need to adjust the shock at all or anything else?

Often the brakes feel better once they are bedded in and/or ridden a little bit. There isn't any real adjustment to be done to that style of brake.

For the Fork, you can add more air with a shock pump if you weigh more than 175lbs to dial it in. You can also adjust the rebound to your liking. Start in the middle between the turtle and rabbit, then go from there depending on feel and riding style.

I'm over 200 pounds so more air it is. Lol. And not sure about that turtle and rabbit thing. Lol

 

[rayrod354]

I'll google it tho. Thanks. Too bad Jersey weather will suck for the next three days with rain. I think I'm going to ride it in the house like a little kid. Lol

 

[rayrod354]

Oh wait. And what should the PSI on the tires be?

 

[jeffharris1us]

Oh wait. And what should the PSI on the tires be?

Tire pressure should be based on type of surface you're riding. Trails in my area are clay based and can be like cement. I normally run around 28-30lbs.

I pump them up to 50lbs when I'm commuting.

Nice dog. The leftover screws are for the ejection seat like on Pee Wee herman's bike. lol

Nice bike Ray. I'm going to be purchasing the seeker in a couple weeks as well. Where did you buy your pedals from?

 

[rayrod354]

[email protected] seat... Lol. And the Wellgo MG-1's I got from amazon...

I wanted the one's that are in the main pic with the black pedals and black spindles but apparently that is not an option... I was even going to pain the spindles but the pedals look good on the bike.. Great bike. Waiting for the rain to stop so I can ride the hell out of it...
