seatpost position with a piece of tape.
Fig.2: Disconnect the wires that are going into the seatpost. Once disconnected, the taillight can be removed from the seatpost if desired.
Reinstall the seatpost to the desired height, then torque the seat collar bolt to 45 in-lbf (5.1 Nm). Use carbon assembly compound if necessary.

Align fitting element
Fig.7: Check the torque support fitting element to make sure it’s tight on the axle. If there is any movement, tighten to 9 in-lbf (1.0 Nm).
Fig.7: Reinstall the rear wheel. Align the torque support fitting element as the rear wheel is placed in the dropouts, then torque the axle to 133 in-lbf (15 Nm).
NOTE: The front fender attaches the same way as most fender systems on the market.
Using a 5mm Allen key, remove the headlight from the fork.
Install the fender with the bracket in position over the headlight hole, then reinstall the headlight.
Install the fender stays using the supplied clips and bolts. Make sure that the fender clears the tire evenly on the sides (centered over the tire) and
has an even gap around the circumference of the tire.
Double check that all fender bolts are tight.
