Chain

First loosen the rear axle nut and turn the adjusting nut to the left or right to correct the slack of the chain. While adjusting the chain, you must also keep the front wheel chain aligned with the rear. After adjustment, re-fix the rear axle nut, lock the adjustment nut and perform a final check to make the distance between the two sprockets is 10-15 mm. The open end of the chain spring should be opposite to
the chain movement direction

Movement
Saddle adjustment: 1. Pull the saddle to check whether the saddle is loose or skewed. 2. When adjusting the height of the saddle, pay attention to minimum andmaximum insert length. 3. Always tighten the saddle clamp after adjustment, and check the saddle beforeeach ride.
Brake adjustment 1. Check the condition of your brake regularly. To check, while ride normally, hold front then rear brakes at different times.
