- Install pedals, use grease (**the RIGHT pedal is installed clockwise, the LEFT counter clockwise**)

1. Assembly - it took a while to tune everything such as brakes, brake levers,and rear derailleur and more
(But you can give it to bike shop to do it but you could do it yourself if you have the time) [I did it wasn't too bad but not too good either]
2. Tires - seems a little cheap
3. Shifters - they are a050 so when your in an aero position to shift you have to go the top of the bar to shift so constantly during your ride you have to get out of your aero position and look to see to shift
But beside those it's an amazing light weight bike to use been using it for 2 days haven't had a problem would recommend if the downsides dont bother you.
Update - 12/5/19 After 18 months with this bike the only problem I have is making time to ride it as much as I wish. (planing to shorten the handle bars and replacing the wheels to make it even lighter)
