How To Unbox & Assemble Your New Road Bike

Our road and gravel bikes come partially assembled to make your setup easier than ever—follow this guide to properly unbox and assemble your new bike!

Videos like these are ironically both necessary and unnecessary; I buy a new bike every 6 months to a year, but ain’t got time to set it up anyway so I mostly just throw it to a mechanic to do the set up instead.

Because let’s be frank, our time is better spent on other things than bike maintenance.
