4.1 PEDALS

To install your pedals, you simply need to follow these steps:
1. Put a small amount of mounting grease (you can find this at your local bike retailer) on the
thread of each pedal.
2. Tighten the right pedal (marked «R» on the pedal, see Figure 13) in a clockwise direction
on the crank on the drive side.
3. Tighten the left pedal (marked «L» on the pedal, see Figure 13) in an anti-clockwise
direction on the crank on the left side.
4. The recommended torque rate is 30 Nm.

WARNING!
If you equip your Moustache with clipless pedals, you should refer to the
user instructions supplied with them in order to familiarize yourself with the
clipping and unclipping mechanism of this type of pedal. There is a risk of
falls and injury.

4.2 WHEEL AXLES

This chapter includes explanations and information only for rapid release axles. Information
about other axle systems can be found in the Moustache technical notice available on our
website www.moustachebikes.com/en/manuals/ in the Supports section.
Important : if you wish to take the rear wheel off your bike, it is easier if you place the chain
on the smallest cog and the derailleur in disengaged/clutch position (if this is possible). To
disengage your derailleur, ask your retailer for advice or consult the notice on your derailleur.
