Tip: Take a good days time to find your individual setup preference. The variety of shock settings allows a
multitude of different suspension setups.
Brakes
The Liteville 601 frame has been designed exclusively for use with disc brakes. The frame comes with 7” PM
tabs allowing the use of PM disc brake callipers directly in combination with a 7” rotor without the necessity
for an adapter. For the use of rotors greater than 7”/180 mm, please contact your respective brake manufac-
turer. The minimum rear rotor diameter is 180 mm and the maximum diameter is 210 mm.
Assembly
Frame preparation
The contact and bearing contact surfaces (head tube, bottom bracket, drop outs and brake tabs) have alrea-
dy been faced at the factory and are ready for assembly. Should you still have any assembly issues despite
careful frame preparation, please contact Syntace directly.
Headset / fork
The frame comes with the 0° Syntace VarioSpin headset cups factory pressed in. In case you need to
change/remove the bearing cups, do not forget to use grease on the contact surfaces upon re-assembly.
Ensure the bearing cups are pressed in evenly, completely and squarely. When using the VarioSpin tuning
bearing cups, ensure the cups are aligned correctly in the frame. Please take note of the respective assembly
instructions.
It is best to use a special tool for disassembly and assembly of the bearing cups, such as the VarioSpin
assembly tool (item no. 115125)
Headangle
The Liteville 601 Mk3 is equipped with the Syntace VarioSpin headset. By changing the headset cups, the
head angle can be changed and fine tuned according to your needs. Supplied with the frame are concentric
(0°) bearing cups. The separately available Vario-headset cups (as indicated in blue, see below figure) allow
the head angle to be c/- 1.5°.
