      Examine the components of your Diamondback bike, including the grips, pedals and tires to determine which areas require repairs. Locate the colored grip located on either end of your handlebars. Extend the blade of your utility knife.

      Peel your old or worn down Diamondback grips away from the handlebars of your bike. Insert a new Diamondback replacement grip onto each end of the handlebars. Utilize the head of a hammer to slide the grips down the metallic bars. Squeeze the outer tips of the Diamondback grips to ensure the grips fit snugly against the handlebars.

      Identify the pedals of your Diamondback bike located in between the two tires. Squat down beside your bike to have an adequate view of your bike pedals. Locate the screw running down the middle of each pedal. Examine the head of the screw to determine if it requires a screwdriver or Allen Wrench.

Tighten the correlating screws to fasten your new pedals in place.
