Assembling and Care for your new
Soul Beach Cruiser
Part 1: Assembly
1. Unbox and unpack your new bike.
There are two to three items to look for in your bike box:
1. The bike
2. The main parts box - there may be a
secondary parts box dependent on
model ordered
Figure 2 Contents of parts box
3. The front brake rotor - this should
either be in the main parts box, or
taped to the parts box itself. (For bikes
equipped with a front brake)
Figure 3 Disk brake rotor (l) and parts box (r)
Figure 1 The bike with standard packing
2. Organizing the assembly - You will have the following parts/components:
a. The main bike frame assembly
b. Fork
c. Front wheel
d. Handlebars
e. Stem
f. Seat/seat post
g. Seat clamp (could be pre-installed onto frame, or in the parts box for an XTR)
h. Headset parts
i. Front rotor and 6 x T25 Torx head rotor bolts
j. 2 x M5 caliper mount bolts
k. Pedals
l. Reflectors
m. Optional Bike spikes (If equipped)
3. Assemble the bike from front to rear: Fork and Headset
Upon removal of the bike and assorted parts boxes, please remove the protective packing materials, zip
ties and plastics. Take care not to cut any cables or brake hoses.
Inspect for any damage during shipment.
Find the fork and headset parts
Figure 4 Headset parts on right, rotor and caliper bolts left, front wheel spikes
(optional) lower left, fender/reflector mount bolt upper left
Take the black plastic lower seal and place
the rounded side down onto the headset
bottom race already located on the fork
(XTR - this step is not necessary, headset
bottom seal is pre-installed)
Figure 5 Lower fork seal, shown facing up, flip over, should face down
towards fork crown
Take the ball bearing race and place it onto
the fork with the ball bearings facing up, and
the race down toward the bottom race of the
fork. (XTR - this step not necessary,
bearings are pre installed into the headset)
Figure 6 Seal and bearing installed onto fork, add more grease if desired
The frame has some grease already in both
races, we recommend adding a small
amount of grease, if possible, to each
bearing. It does not need to be packed full,
just a light coating. (XTR - step not
necessary)
Figure 7 Pre-installed grease
Take the 2nd ball bearing race and install it
into the top bearing race on the frame. (XTR
- step not necessary)
Figure 8 Bearing installed in proper orientation, add more grease if desired
Insert the fork into the frame
Thread on the top adjustable race. This does
not have to be adjusted at this moment,
adjustment will come later. (On XTR models
place the split plastic washer on, with
protrusion facing down toward the frame,
then the aluminum seal with rubber edge)
Figure 9 Headset adjuster installed onto fork, hand tighten
Take the keyed washer and put it onto the
fork steerer tube. (On XTR place all black
aluminum spacers onto the fork, large near
bottom, thin at top)
Figure 10 Keyed washer
Install the lock nut on the top of the fork
steerer tube. Adjustment is not necessary
yet. (On XTR, use the stem, and Threadless
cap to complete the assembly of the fork)
Figure 11 Locking nut is last to be installed, hand tighten
4. Assemble the stem
Take the stem and apply some grease to the
threads of the quill expander center bolt near
the wedge. (XTR - step not necessary)
Figure 12 The expansion wedge and threads need grease to prevent corrosion
Apply grease into the inside of the fork,
where the stem will go to prevent rust and
corrosion fusing the stem into the bike over
time. (XTR - step not necessary)
Figure 13 Add grease inside the fork steerer tube to allow the stem to be
removed in the future
Insert stem into fork, to the minimum
insertion mark or further dependent on
handlebar height desired. (XTR - step not
necessary)
Figure 14 Stem at minimum insertion height
Tighten the stem quill expander bolt until the stem will stay in place. (XTR - step not necessary)
Remove the bolts for the handlebar plate
Figure 15 Stem with top plate removed, and bar placed
Take the handlebar, and ensure the cables
are not twisted, place into the stem, using
the knurling as a guide to center the bar in
the stem.
Figure 16 Center the bar in the stem using the knurling as a guide
Start each of the stem bolts by hand to
prevent cross threading. Start with the bolts
nearest the quill, and get at least one full
turn on each prior to using tools.
Figure 17 Start all 4 bolts with your fingers, and get one full rotation to ensure
cross-threading does not occur
Tighten each of the four bolts until handlebar will stay in place. Further adjustment will happen in the
adjustment phase.
5. Assemble the front wheel
Take the plastic caps off the axle, they are
not needed any further.
Find the brake rotor and observe the two
sides. One side has stamped letters and
arrows, the other side has no stamping at all.
The stamped side will face outwards away
from the wheel hub. (XTR rotors have small
arrows on the “spokes” that lead up to the
braking area) (For bikes equipped with front
brakes)
Figure 18 Rotor with stamping
Position the brake rotor onto the hub,
aligning the holes.
Figure 19 Align the rotor to ensure proper mating to hub
Take the 6 T25 Torx bolts and start each
using your fingers to ensure they do not
cross thread. Start all 6 of the bolts at this
time.
Figure 20 Start all 6 bolts with your fingers ensuring they do not cross-thread
Thread all 6 bolts until they start to touch the rotor, do not torque any of the bolts until they are all in
contact with the rotor.
In either a circle or star pattern, torque each
of the bolts. (2-4 NM or 18 in pounds)
Figure 21 Using a T25 Torx wrench, tighten bolts until they touch, then torque
each
If installing the optional bike spikes, remove
the axle nuts and begin to thread the spikes
onto the axle for 2-3 turns. Please use the
existing axle washers with the hook to
prevent the wheel from coming out of the
fork in the event an axle nut is not fully tight.
Figure 22 Wheel installed, using spikes and axle retainer
Insert the wheel into the fork, placing the hook of the axle washers into the hole above the axle area.
Tighten the axle nuts/spikes using a 15mm
wrench. (20 nm or 180 in pounds)
Figure 23 Tighten nuts using a 15mm wrench
6. Assemble the seat
