Compatibility of components
The components chosen to build up the frame need to fit according to the technical
specifications.
Some (mainly older) chain guides with the required ISCG05 mount will not fit, when the
mounting plate is too much extended to the back. Please send us a quick email if you
consider buying a chain guide with a large mountain plate.
Torque Settings
All frame bolts including the brake mount bolts need to be tightened to 12 nm. The main
pivot nut needs to be tightened to 50 nm. Make sure to use a thread-locker in medium
strength for the brake mount bolts. All frame bolts should be assembled with grease on
the thread and contact surfaces.
Cleaning
The bike needs to be maintained and checked on a regular basis to avoid damage or
uncommon wear. All components need to be taken care of, as described in the
manufacturers manual. Cleaning should be done with water, a mild soap and a brush. The
Madonna has a fully sealed pivot design, but it is still recommendable to avoid pressure
washing.
Pivot Maintenance
The pivots of the frame are fully sealed. Depending on the conditions you are riding in, it is
recommended to disassemble all pivots after a season of riding to clean it from dust and that
made it through. Now remember, the bearing itself also has a seal, so the dust coming in
through the first seal, still needs to make it trough the second seal, to do harm.
