MOUNTING VOLATA
AERO SEAT POST
Slide the seat post into the seat tube to
the desired saddle height.
Bring the saddle into alignment and do not
overtighten the seat post binder bolt, i.e.
do not exceed the permissible maximum
torque. Use the torque wrench.
Measure the saddle height of your
previous bicycle from the middle of the
bottom bracket up to the top edge of
the saddle in the middle of the saddle.
Then transfer the saddle height to your
new FRM
Remove the protective film from the
saddle, if available.
Slide the seat post into the seat tube to
the desired saddle height. Insert the
built-in seat post clamp.
Tighten up the Allen bolt of the seat post
clamp to the prescribed torque of 8/9 Nm
Your seat post must go into the frame as a
minimum to as far as underneath the top
tube and up to the MAX marking of the
seat post. (MIN 10cm)
MOUNTING THE PEDALS
FRM road bikes can be fitted with stan-
dard race pedals of the major brands.
Before mounting the pedals, check the
marking on the pedal axles first. “R”
stands for right pedal and “L” for left
pedal. Note that the left pedal has a
left-handed thread that has to be tight-
ened contrary to the direction you are
accustomed to, i.e. anticlockwise.
Apply a thin layer of standard assembly
grease on the pedal threads before
screwing in the pedals.
Screw each pedal manually into the
thread of its crank by two to three full
turns. Continue by using a pedal spanner
to tighten the pedals firmly. Some pedal
types have to be tightened with an Allen
key.
R I D E I N S T Y L E
Never ride your FRM if the MAX mark-
ing of the seat post is visible.
Never apply any grease or oil to clamp-
ing areas made of carbon!
Do not exceed the maximum tightening
torques! You will find the prescribed
values in chapter “Recommended
tightening torques”, directly on the
components and/or in the manuals of
the component manufacturers
Do not clamp a frame tube or a carbon
seat post of your FRM in the holding
jaws of the workstand! This could
crush the tubes! It is recommended
that you use a workstand which holds
the frame at three points from inside or
which holds the fork and bottom brack-
et shell.
Check the reliable fit of the pedals after
about 100 km (60 miles). The pedals
can come loose, and this can destroy
the thread and throw the rider off his
bike.
