Important Assembly & Safety Disclaimer
The information provided on this page is intended as a general guide only and does not replace professional bicycle assembly or inspection.

Bicycle assembly requires correct installation, alignment, and tightening of components to appropriate torque settings. Incorrect assembly may result in component failure, damage to the bicycle, or personal injury.

Pedals are threaded differently and must be fitted to the correct side (left and right are determined from the rider’s seated position). Brakes, gears, steering, and all fixings must be fully checked and adjusted before use.

Shyre Bikes accepts no liability for damage, injury, or loss resulting from incorrect or incomplete assembly. If you are unsure at any stage, or for full assurance of safety, the bicycle should be assembled and/or checked by a qualified bicycle mechanic prior to riding.
Step-by-Step Assembly Guide
Unbox Your Eastie
Carefully remove the bike from the box and take off all protective packaging. You’ll find the bike nearly complete - the handlebars, pedals, and front wheel just need fitting. Handle the staples with care.
Install the Front Wheel
1. Loosen the quick-release skewer and slide the wheel into the front fork dropouts.
2. Ensure the disc brake rotor slides cleanly between the brake pads.
3. Tighten the quick release so the wheel is firmly secured.
4. Spin the wheel to check it's running smoothly without rubbing.
Fit the Handlebars
1. Remove any cardboard around the handlebar area.
2. Position the handlebars so the brake levers face the rider.
3. Insert the handlebar stem into the frame and line it up with the front wheel.
4. Tilt them forward at a 45 degree angle
5. Tighten the bolts using a 5mm Allen key, ensuring everything is secure but still straight.
Fit the Pedals
Pedals are marked L (left) and R (right).

1. Thread each pedal onto the correct crank arm.
2. The right pedal tightens clockwise; the left pedal tightens anti-clockwise.
3. Use a pedal spanner or Allen key to fully secure.
Adjust the Saddle Height
1. Loosen the seat clamp using the Allen key.
2. Set the saddle so your child can place the balls of their feet on the ground.
3. Tighten the clamp securely so the saddle doesn’t move during riding.
Fit the Reflectors and Bell
Your Eastie comes with safety accessories that are simple to attach:

1. Attach the front reflector to the handlebar and point it straight ahead.
2. Fit the rear reflector to the seat post and angle it slightly upward.
3. Secure the bell to the handlebar within easy reach of small hands.
4. Tighten all fittings using the included Allen key.
Check Your Brakes
1. Pull both brake levers to ensure they engage smoothly.
2. Spin both wheels to check for rubbing.
3. If needed, align the calipers slightly using the Allen key.
Final Safety Check
Before your child rides:

1. Make sure all bolts are tightened.
2. Ensure the handlebars are straight and don’t twist.
3. Test the brakes again.
4. Check the wheels are firmly secured.
