NOTICE
Mount shocks in orientation shown: controls forward and facing down as shown.
Front Shock Bolt (14) & Small Washer (15) - Ensure the small washer (15) is used. Ensure the front
shock bolt inserts through the shock eyelet when you insert the bolt.
Link Shock Pin (4) - The link is designed for use with shocks with DU bushings. The bolted shock
pin is specified for use with both Rockshox and Fox shocks utilizing DU bushings.
If the pin is removed from the rear shock, a new DU bushing must also be installed in the eyelet
to prevent play. DU bushings are wear items. Expect to replace them regularly.
DO NOT APPLY
GREASE ON THE CENTER OF PIN. ONLY GREASE PIN ENDS WHEN FIXING TO LINK.
Eyelet Centering Spacers (6) - Make sure to place the two 1.6mm thick shock spacers on both
sides of the shock eyelet. This centers the eyelet and prevents wander and uneven wear of the DU
bushing.
Shock Pin Bolt Covers (7 & 8) - Keep the shock pin bolt link covers in place to prevent corrosion that
may result from water collecting in the bolt heads.
To Install the Covers:
1. Loosen the seatstay link bolt.
2. Place the covers on on the link.
3. Hold the covers in place while tighten-
ing the seatstay link bolt to the specified
torque.
Please Note: Pressing the covers into place
without following the outlined steps can cause
the rubber to deform, making the covers dif-
ficult to reinstall later.”
