Installing the Rolling Jackass on a Bike Friday Haul-a-Day Bike
Put a little grease on the first few threads of all hardware to prevent galling of the threads.
The Haul-a-Day stand comes with four aluminum plates and four M6 bolts. Sandwich the chainstays of the frame between pairs of aluminum plates and bolt through all into the stand base. The longer plates go in the back. Slide the whole assembly back as far as it can go. Tighten the bolts using a 5mm hex key and a 10mm wrench.
Route the actuation cable housing along the frame, retaining with zip ties, and install the lever on the handlebars. The lever should be installed in a location that allows it to be pulled all the way to the bar, without interference.
Actuate the stand by pulling on the lever, and pull the bike back and up onto the stand. Take note of the elevation of the tire which has been lifted off the ground. Too high and it will be difficult to set the bike onto the stand, especially when loaded. Too low, and the bike may be unstable when parking on uneven or soft ground. Aim for about 1/2” by adjusting the threaded feet. Lock the feet in place by tightening the jam nuts against the leg with a 9/16” wrench.
Double check that the cable tension is sufficient to actuate the stand. When the lever is pulled all the way to the handlebars, the feet of the stand should be touching the ground. If not, there is a barrel adjuster on the lever, and one at the base of the stand that will allow you to fine tune the cable tension.
The stand is now ready for use!
