2.6 Fitting the rear section to the cruciform
Slide the rear section into the cruciform, taking care not to damage the
plastic shim located inside the rear of the main frame. A small amount
of lubricant has been applied at the factory. Evenly tighten the two
frame bolts with a 5mm hex key, until the bolts just bite. Align the rear
section by eye so it is vertical (stand back a few feet to get a better
view). Tighten the two bolts by ¼ turn alternately until the rear section
is just clamped enough to prevent it moving around (you will need to
adjust this again later).
If you have opted for a different elastomer from the standard, remove
the red elastomer from the suspension swing-arm. This is done by
pulling and twisting it from its retaining pin, then pushing the new
elastomer onto the pin in its place.
Note: If you have purchased the option Quick-release kit, do not
put any quick-releases into the frame bosses. You must use the
M6 bolts which have already been installed.
Note: If you have purchased the optional rear disc brake kit, please
refer to the instructions for the kit in Accessories Section of this manual.
Unclip the quick-release from the spokes of the rear wheel and thread it through the centre of the axle. The
lever should be on the side opposite the gears. Fit the rear wheel to the rear swingarm. You may find this easier
if the Velcro restraining strap on the swingarm is fastened around the rear section main tube.
If you have a ‘T’, or are fitting the TT bracket for any reason, now is the time to fasten it in place. The first
mounting bolt passes through the single mounting hole and the front mounting position on the tube top. Pass
the 2
nd
mounting bolt through the appropriate hole and the back mounting position. The correct position for the
‘T’ is as shown on the right. For other applications, the correct position will depend on the application.
2.7a Assembling the seat – mesh seat
Find the seat frame and the bag with the seat cover in it.
Unfold the cover and identify which is the top, bottom,
front and back. The top can be identified by the cut-out
just below a single strap. The back can be identified by
the wide cordura bands running down the cover.
Before you begin assembly, locate the O-rings in the
cover pack. Each O-ring needs to be slipped onto a
strap on the cover, and pushed 8" (200mm) or more
down the strap. These O-rings are used to hold down
the loose tails of the straps after the seat has been
assembled.
