Tip! Remember, you always rotate right when screwing anything onto a bike thread. Wind each pedal on the correct side of the crank arm by hand and when it is hand tight give it a last squeeze with your spanner. Take your pedals and you'll notice they have left (L) and right (R) embossed on the inside of the spindle.

They screw into the two holes provided on the base of the front forks. You'll notice on your mudguard that there are two mudguard stays/supports. If you do then loosen the nut, realign them centrally and start again. You can over tighten your brakes and cause this is happen. A tip for tightening your Bobbin brakes - hold the calipers roughly central as you tighten to avoid them slipping over to one side and resting on the wheel rim. Grab your mudguard and slot the brake rod through the tab. Take it off and you'll be left with the end of your brake rod poking through the center of your forks. Have a look at the back of your front forks and you'll see a nut on the rear side of your brake. Avoid tightening one side all the way and then the other as your wheel will be out of line. Tighten your wheel nut one rotation on one side and then move to the other, and then back again and so forth. Then tighten your wheel nuts with your adjustable spanner, again really tight! A tip for tightening your front wheel is to wind in each side equally as you go. Slot the front wheel into the two vertical drop outs of the front forks.īefore you tighten anything make sure the two safety washers are sitting in the correct position - between the wheel nuts and the drop outs and positioned in the holes provided. Once your handlebars are in place, move onto the front wheel. You can adjust the angle of the handlebars by loosening the hex bolt on the stem clamp. This is the only thing that prevents your handlebars from popping out so ensure it is done up really tight. Then make sure the handlebars are straight and in the correct position for riding and tighten the central hex bolt that sits under the plastic cap. Sometimes a bit of wiggling is required to get them in but once there remove the black plastic cap that sits in the center of the handlebars. Pick up the handlebars and slot them into the headset. Stand your Gingersnap so that it is balancing on the rear wheel and the front forks. Once you've got your Bobbin Gingersnap out of the big cardboard box it arrived in, it should look a little something like this: A pedal spanner (not essential if you don't have one).To easily put together your Gingersnap you'll need the following: The Gingersnap featured in this tutorial is the 16" but it can also be applied to teh whole of the Bobbin kids range.
