How much assembly is required when the bike arrives?
The bike arrives 85% assembled. You will need to attach the pedals, stem, handlebars, and front wheel. Crucially, adjustments to the front and rear brakes, gears, and a general check of all fixings are also necessary.
Can I assemble the bike myself, or should I get professional help?
While basic assembly can be done at home, it's strongly recommended to take the bike to a local bike shop for professional assistance with final adjustments, especially for brakes and gears, to ensure safety and optimal performance. This may incur an additional cost.
Is this bike suitable for competitive riding or stunts?
No, this bike is designed for normal use only, including casual riding and light trails. It is not intended for competition, stunt riding, or aggressive off-road conditions like ramp jumping.

Troubleshooting
Bike feels unstable or components are loose after assembly.
After assembling the required parts, it's crucial to perform a general check of all fixings on pre-assembled components. Ensure all nuts, bolts, and quick-release skewers are properly tightened. For safety, professional inspection and adjustment at a local bike shop are highly recommended.
Gears are not shifting smoothly or are skipping.
The 21-speed Shimano gears require precise adjustment after initial assembly. This often involves fine-tuning the front and rear derailleur limits and cable tension. Refer to the assembly video or, ideally, have a local bike shop make these adjustments for optimal performance.
Brakes feel weak, spongy, or are rubbing.
Alloy disc brakes need proper alignment and cable tension adjustment for effective and safe operation. If they feel weak, need excessive force, or are dragging, they need to be adjusted. This is a critical safety component, and professional adjustment by a bike mechanic is strongly advised.
Front wheel is difficult to install or seems insecure.
The front wheel uses a quick-release mechanism. Ensure the quick-release skewer is correctly inserted through the wheel hub and the lever is fully closed and tightened. Do not attempt to remove any bolts or nuts on the quick-release system. Refer to the assembly video for visual guidance.
Tire frequently goes flat or loses air.
Check the tire for any visible punctures from thorns or glass. Also, inspect the inner tube for leaks, especially around the 60mm Schrader valve. The inner tube is a standard 26 * 1.95; replacements can be ordered from Sunrise Cycles or purchased from most bike shops.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Initial Assembly
Your FLYing Mountain Bike arrives 85% assembled. The following components will require installation and adjustment:
- Install Pedals: Ensure pedals are threaded correctly (left pedal counter-clockwise, right pedal clockwise).
- Attach Stem and Handlebars: Securely fasten the stem to the fork steerer and the handlebars to the stem.
- Install Front Wheel: The front wheel uses a quick-release stick. Simply place the wheel into the fork dropouts and use the quick-release skewer to lock it securely. Do NOT attempt to remove any bolts or nuts from this mechanism.
- Adjust Brakes and Gears: This is a critical step for safety and performance. Both front and rear brakes and all 21 gears will need fine-tuning. A general check of all pre-assembled parts and fixings for tightness is also necessary.
Strong Recommendation: We highly suggest taking the bike to a local bike shop for professional assistance with assembly and adjustments. This may incur an additional cost but ensures your bike is safe and performs optimally. An assembly video can provide further insights into the required work.
