Torque Settings
All frame bolts require a specific torque
setting that are shown in the image below.
Under- or over-tightening bolts may result
in damage to the components. The brake
mount bolts need to be assembled with
medium thread-locker. The frame bolts re-
quire grease on the contact surfaces and a
small amount of medium thread locker on
the threads. The cable guide bolts should
be greased before assembly.

Cable Routing
The cable routing is completely external to
simplify the installation and maintenance
of the brake, seatpost and rear derailleur.
However, there are several details to pay at-
tention to during assembly to guarantee un-
restricted movement of the rear suspension
and avoid damage or rubbing to the frame
or components.
If the rear brake is mounted on the right
side of the handlebar, we recommend the
following arrangement of the cable routing
down to the bottom bracket. The gear cable
crosses only at the very bottom, in front of
the bottom bracket.

Seat Post Cable
If the rear brake is mounted on the left side of
the handlebar, we recommend to only swap
the two front cable guides so that the brake
hose can be routed on the right side of the
head tube, next to the seatpost cable.
Assembling the seat post cable through the
seat tube is best done without the rubber
grommet and from the bottom of the seat
tube, through the small hole, up to the top.
You can then instal the rubber grommet
once the cable is in place.
To avoid damage and rubbing of the cables
on the frame, make sure that the cables and
hose are assembled without being twisted.
As the
image 4
illustrates, the brake hose and
gear cable must form a small S-bend above
the bottom bracket and at the rear
(image

. This is necessary to ensure complete free-
dom of movement of the rear triangle. We
recommend mounting the cables and hose
with the shock disassembled in order to be
able to check the freedom of movement of
the rear triangle.
For the best cable and hose routing in the
narrow bottom bracket area, mountings for
zip ties are provided on both sides.

„Check the freedom of movement of the brake
hose and gear cable with the shock removed
and through the full travel of the suspension.“
Improper cable routing can cause damage to com-
ponents as well as crashes and injuries. If you are
unsure about the correct routing, please send us an
email at [email protected].
