PLEASE READ EVERYTHING


Section 1: A Few Reminders

  • Please, carefully align the display wire before connecting it. There is a notch on each part and arrows on each part showing alignment.  
  • Do not tighten or loosen your Bottom Bracket Cups. 
    • This is not a required step of assembly. Nothing needs to be done to setup or install the torque sensor. 
    • In the unlikely event your BB needs serviced in the future, please contact us first.
    • Some bikeshops may not be aware of this wire in the frame: LMT'D Bottom Bracket Torque Sensor
  • Make sure you crank arms are installed 180° from each other. 
  • The left pedal must go on the left. It is reverse thread, to install it, you must properly align it and then rotate it by hand counter clock to begin threading it in. Verify it is threaded in properly. Then tighten with a thin wrench  (15mm or adjustable, if the head is too wide, it will cause damage).
  • The right pedal must go on the right. It has a standard thread. Rotate by hand clockwise to begin. Verify it is threaded in properly. Then tighten with a thin wrench (15mm or adjustable, if the head is too wide, it will cause damage)..
  • Make sure your fork is on correctly and not backwards (brake caliper and rotor goes on the left side of the bike).
  • Before installing the fork, make sure your cable and wire routing is ideal, please compare yours to the video.
  • The headlight will mount onto the bridge of the fork after it is fully installed
  • Handlebars - You may need to flip the handlebars before installing  (left to right, right to left, front to back, back to front) so the wires are properly routed and the handlebars properly installed.
  • Do not squeeze brake levers before brakes are installed. 
  • Before you install the front wheel, remove the plastic spacer from the front brake caliper, it is in between the brake pads. This is can be used anytime you remove the front wheel, so save it.
  • Do not touch the brake rotors with your fingers. The oil can contaminate them and cause them to be noisy when used.


Section 2: Headset, Fork, Top Cap - If you are not familiar with installing this or not familiar with bicycle part names, it may be best to have it assembled by a bike shop. Please watch video carefully.

  1. Carefully install fork fully, make sure it is seated well with the bottom of the head tube. Only the crown race should be on the fork steerer tube at this time.
  2. Insert compression ring around fork steerer tube.
  3. Slide it down, the lip of the compression ring will insert just inside of the bearing when the fork steerer tube is properly centered. This make take some adjustment to get it to sit just right.
  4. Next place the cone spacer or conical spacer on. Make sure the plastic/ring or dust cover is also installed with this. It should fit right on this spacer.
  5. Add remaining spacers on steerer tube.
  6. Put stem on on steerer tube (but do not tighten bolts yet!). Are you handle bars on correct? Are the wires and cables routed properly?
  7. Insert top cap and bolt, carefully tighten it top cap bolt as shown in the video.
  8. Now you can tighten bolts on stem where it connects to steerer tube. Please be careful and slowly tighten in a criss cross pattern. Do not over tighten or you may strip the stem.
  9. Check to make sure, there is no play in the fork. That the it is well seated at the bottom of the head tube and the top of the head tube.


Section 3: Chainring, Splined BB tool, and Crank Arms
If unsure, do not install your crank arms. To remove your crank arms after installing it will require a crank puller. The chainring has been removed for shipping on new generations to avoid damage during shipping. 


To install the chainring & crank arm the following tools are needed.

  • A BBT-22 tool, this tool has 20 splines despite the BBT-22 name or spec. This tool will be shipped with your bike. You will need an adjustable wrench or large socket to use it.
  • An 8mm hex wrench is needed to tighten the crank arm bolts
  • A thin wrench is needed to install pedals.


The chain ring should slide on. This lock ring is reverse threaded, it secures the crank chainring before the crank arm goes on.

It should be tightened to approximately 36N.m. No less than 35N.m


Section 4: Before Riding - After Assembly Tuning:

  1. Tune your derailleur with the bike turned off. Failure to tune your derailleur and set the limit screws may cause damage to your rear wheel, motor, power cable, derailleur, and derailleur hanger.
  2. Make sure your brakes are well adjusted and tuned.
  3. Are your cables and wires routed well?
  4. Always turn on your LMT'd first and let it boot up before pedaling.
    • The torque sensor "0" is set at this time. If you forget, simply power it off and on.
