1. Remove the rear wheel with the axle
lever
2. Remove the shock using 6 mm and 4
mm hex keys
3. Loosen the outer bolts of the seatstay (A)
four turns. Tap these bolt heads lightly
with a hammer to ensure the flipchip
(B) loosens from its conical seat. Now
unscrew the bolts completely.
1. Slightly compress the rear triangle to
get access to the flipchip. Remove and
twist both flip chips inside the rocker.
The line on the flipchip must be aligned
with the line of the desired wheel size
on the rocker.
We know that both rear wheel sizes (27.5”
for mullet and 29”) have pros and cons.
Therefore, we have designed a system
that works with both rear wheel sizes
via a simple adjustment that leaves the
important geometry data such as reach,
stack and angles untouched.
29” wheels are faster, have better rollover
behaviour and are ideal for taller people.
But thanks to the 27.5“ rear wheel and
corresponding 4 mm shorter chainstay
length, the mullet set-up with the 27.5”
rear wheel is more playful and forgiving.
The greater bum clearance will especially
suit small riders on steep terrain.
4.
Assemble the screws (A) again. Make
sure to refit the washers in between
the flipchip and the seatstay bearing.
Tighten the screws (A) with their
imprinted torque by using a torque
wrench.
Mount the shock again with its
imprinted torque by using a torque
wrench.
