What tools do I need for assembling my bike and adjusting the suspension?

    Your PROPAIN arrives about 90% pre-assembled and securely packaged for transport. For the final steps, you will need some tools. You will need a torque wrench, an Allen key, a Torx 25 key, a shock pump, and a tire pump.

    The following usually needs to be assembled/checked:

    1. Unpack the bike and check for transport damage. Remove transport safety devices, zip ties, and protective padding.
    2. Install the front wheel and secure it properly (tighten the thru-axle according to specifications).
    3. Align the cockpit/handlebars and set them to the intended angle.
    4. Insert the seat post – observe the maximum insertion depth (see the dedicated FAQ article) – and adjust it to your preferred height.
    5. Install the pedals: right pedal with right-hand thread, left with left-hand thread (tighten both forward in the direction of travel).
    6. Check the brakes: pads free, levers with a clear pressure point, discs straight.
    7. Adjust the air pressure in the tires and suspension to your values.
    8. Finally tighten all relevant screws to the torque specified in the instructions.

    Just take a look at our tutorial here:

    Be sure to use: The assembly and operating manual for your specific model in the Tech Archive – it contains the exact steps and torque values for your bike.

    If you are unsure about a step, have the assembly performed by a specialist dealer rather than risking incorrect installation.
