4 | SETTINGS AND VARIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS
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 clo-
ckwise 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.

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.
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.

If you equip your Moustache with cli-
pless 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.
