Just setup my 1st mail in bike
 

Everything looks good except i have a few extra pieces i have no clue whats it for and there arent any insructions. I just bought the nashbar hounder and it came with a circular sticker, a very small plastic "S" and 2 very small metal nail (not sharp at all but doesnt have any thread, please see attached pictures). I have no clue what these are for. Can someone enlighten me?

2nd, the bike came with a plastic chain protector however when i move the pedals it hits it. I tried adjusting the 2 screws that its attached to, 1 in the back and 1 in the middle, however it still hits the crank. There are 3 holes on the plastic thing and the 3rd hole doesnt have thing to be mounted on. The 3rd hole is where the crank is hitting it. There isnt a frame near the 3rd hole so i have no clue how this hole can be used. Is there anyway i can fix this?

3rd the chain isnt smooth when turning the pedals backwards. I only notice this when i hand pedal it not when im riding it. Is this normal?

Thank you all for your help and looking forward to your answers.

the 2 metal caps are for your brake cables dunno about the other things, chain too tight maybe? assuming fixed gear

it looks like the chain guard is too far forward.

Try your local shop for the missing plastic piece that holds your chainguard in place. All of those newer plastic chainguards come with very similar hardware.

As said before, those 'nails' get crimped onto the ends of your brake cables (otherwise they unwind).

The s-curve might be to clip your brake cables together, for neatness' sake.

Its hard to judge your chain from here, but its probably ok as long as your cranks and cog/lockring are tight. You DID tighten your cog and locking, right?

Did not tighten the cog. Will do that when I get home. Thanks
Hmm does anyone know what this sticker is for?

Its nothing functional. Maybe its a badge for front of the head tube?

adjust the chain tension to the tight spot, cheap chain rings. s plastic piece is to hold the cables together, i just throw them away. metal bits are cable end caps
