Tools needed to assemble and maintain your Lenz skibike

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Lenz Skibike! We know you are excited to assemble it and get shredding as soon as you can, so to help that process here is a list of the tools you will need to assemble your bike. If you need help, there is an assembly video HERE. Located at the bottom of this section are photos that will show you the “what’s what” of your skibike. If you need to take it to a bike shop for assembly, please inform the shop that everything is as it needs to be; tell them that if they have any questions about anything, they should contact us directly before doing anything. (For example, they may say that the steer tube on the fork is too long and they want to cut it. DO NOT LET THEM CUT THE STEER TUBE!)

*The air pressure in your fork is NOT SET and is something you will need to do before you ride. You will need a bicycle shock pump to set it to your riding weight (weight with gear). Refer to the owner’s manual included with your bike (it would be in the bag that your invoice was in) for information about how to set the pressure. NEVER USE AN AIR COMPRESSOR TO SET THE AIR PRESSURE IN YOUR FORK!

*Headset locking cap — 5mm hex allen wrench

*Handlebar stem — 4mm hex allen wrench

*Seat clamp (if applicable) — 5mm hex allen wrench

*Foot pegs — 8mm hex allen wrench & 15mm or 18mm socket (or box/open end wrench; a crescent wrench can be used as a last resort)

*Ski bolts — 5mm hex allen wrench (a 4mm hex wrench is needed if you have the strap going from the adapter to the ski). A long handle wrench with a ball end is best.

It’s a good idea to check all of the bolts at least once per season, more if you ride a lot. Aside from the tools and bolts listed above, here are a few more:

*Ski adapters — 8mm hex allen wrench & 15mm socket (or box/open end wrench; a crescent wrench can be used as a last resort)

*Fork torque arm bolts — 5mm hex allen wrench

*Fork torque arm bolts @ fork clamp — 4mm hex allen wrench

*Fork clamp bolts — 4mm hex allen wrench

**NOTE: When tightening/loosening bolts with nuts, you can help avoid stripping the bolt head by using the hex wrench to hold the bolt stationary and loosening/tightening the nut.
