(Note: use Anti-Seize Lubricant on all Titanium hardware)
1. Attach the rear triangle to the front triangle at the Main Pivot area. With the
stainless steel spacer washers in place between the bearings and the frame, tighten the
bearing axle to the torque indicated by the laser etching.
2. Attach the rebuilt shock link plates to the frame, making sure the Acetyl Thrust
Washers are in place (placed on the inside, between the bearing and the links). Install
the bolts, but leave them loose for now.
3. Attach the seatstays to the upper link. Place an Acetyl Thrust Washer in between the
Seatstay ends and the Shock Links. Slip the Seatstay Axles through the DU Bushing in
the link and through the Acetyl Thrust Washer, into the pocket in the Seatstay Yoke.
Install the M6 x 20mm long Bolts through the axles and into the press-in axle nuts.
Tighten to the torque specified on the links, or 11Nm.
4. Once the Shock Links are tightened to the Seatstay Yoke, tighten the Shock Link
bolts, installed in step 2, to the torque specified on the links, or 11Nm.
5. Re-install the shock, remembering that the upper and lower bolts may be different
lengths. Once the bolts are assembled in their proper locations they will need to be
tightened to the torque specified on the shock link.
6. Once complete, re-inflate the shock to your preferred pressure and/or
recommended sag (see Section 3 of this manual for proper sag settings).
7. Reinstall any parts you removed initially to access your suspension components.
8. Go Ride…
9. All pivot and mounting bolts should be re-checked for correct tightness/torque after
the first ride and periodically ever few rides after that.

Carbon Fiber Model Instructions
Carbon Care Guide:
This guide contains important information. Please read carefully and store in a safe place.
Warning!
Failure to follow these instructions may result in a catastrophic failure of the frame and/or its
components while riding, which may result in serious personal injury or death.
Congratulations! The Felt Suspension frame you have chosen is among the finest products available
in cycling. The Carbon fiber that is used in the rear triangle of some frames is a very special material
that requires particular care during assembly, storage and riding. This short reference guide contains
instructions and warnings specific to Felt Suspension frames that use these Carbon rear triangles.
Unlike metal parts, carbon composite parts that have been damaged may not bend, bulge or deform;
a damaged part may appear to be normal to a cursory glance. After any high force load, like a crash,
or other impact to your bicycle, thoroughly inspect all the parts of your bike, and use the following
procedures to inspect carbon composite parts.
• Check for scratches, gouges, or other surface problems.
• Check the part for loss of rigidity.
• Check the part for delamination.
If you are the slightest bit unsure… If you have any doubts about the integrity of any part of your Felt
Bicycle, do not ride the bicycle and contact either Felt Bicycles directly or your local Felt Bicycles autho-
rized dealer for more information or answers to your questions.
Be very careful when handling carbon fiber parts that are suspected of damage. When a composite
part is damaged, there is a possibility that individual fibers may be exposed. Carbon fibers are thinner
than a human hair, but quite stiff. If the point of one of these fibers is pressed against your skin, it
could pierce your skin like a needle.
Warning!
A damaged carbon fiber part can fail suddenly, causing serious injury or death. Inspect a
carbon fiber bicycle, or parts, for damage frequently. If you suspect a carbon fiber part is damaged,
replace the part before riding or take the bike to your dealer for service.
Warning!
Do not clamp to, modify or otherwise alter the frame’s Carbon Fiber rear triangle. As well as
voiding your warranty it may impair the structural integrity of the frame. Failure to follow this warning
may result in serious personal injury or death.
