Assembly is simple. Check the video here. Once you install the front wheel and handlebars, you will be ready to ride.

The serial number on all mountain bikes is located next to the QR code on the bottom of the bottom bracket shell. On road bikes, the serial number is inside the bottom bracket shell for unpainted titanium bikes and under the bottom bracket for carbon frames. 
For Titanium it can be accessed only by removing the bottom bracket (this is done to avoid potential removal of the serial number in the case of theft).

On all complete road bikes, you have the ability to determine handlebar width, stem length, seat post offset, crank length and gearing at no additional charge.

All of the mountain bikes use a 73mm threaded bottom bracket shell.
All of the carbon road, gravel and all-road bikes use a PF86mm bottom bracket.
All titanium road bikes use a 68mm threaded bottom bracket shell. (Note: Current titanium bikes use a threaded shell, but older models used a PF86mm bottom bracket shell, so you will need to confirm which model you have if you are searching for a replacement)

All Arktos (2020 and older) use 10mmX22mm hardware. Arktos 2021 and newer is 10mmx22mm hardware (read) and 8mmx30mm hardware (front)
