Cycle Repairing and Adjusting
With a Chapter on building a Bicycle from a Set of Parts

68 CYCLE REPAIRING checked off, proceed to re-assemble as follows : Put the spindles back into the wheels, oiling with some good oil at the same time. Re-fit the tyres, if they are air-tight and covers sound. Now take the back frame, fit the pin and nut to the back stays and the seat lug first. Next fit the lubricators to the bracket, then the chain- side bracket disc. Fit the bracket axle, balls, and other disc. Then fit on the cranks and the chain wheel, seeing that the cranks are in line and the cotter pins properly fitted. Adjust the bearing until there is no shake, and lock up with the disc cotters. Next assemble the pedals, and screw up tightly into the cranks. If the pedal pins have not been removed from the cranks, assemble the pedals before fitting the cranks and chain wheel on to the axle. Now fit the back wheel in position, put on the chain, and adjust up. If the machine has fixed mudguards, fit the guard before putting in the wheel. Fit the front wheel in the fork, and assemble the head parts. Then fit the brake parts to the handle-bars, fix the grips, and put the handle-bars in place. The other parts can now be fitted up as desired, and with a general run round all nuts and screws and final adjustment of seat pillar and handle-bars, the machine is ready for the road again, and should look as good as new. Affixing Transfers.—To preserve the original appear- ance of the machine and make it look finished, one or two transfers of the makers will be required. These can gener- ally be obtained from the makers of the machine free if
