Assembly
Adjusting the bottom bracket
NOTICE
Accelerated bearing wear if the bottom bracket is set
too rigidly due to excessive pre-tensioning of the ad-
justing screw.
-Only adjust the bottom bracket if the clamping
screw (1) has been loosened!
As a rule, the required tightening torque of the adjust-
ing screw
(2) for a correctly adjusted bottom bracket
is approximately 0.3–1N·m (3–9lbf·in) .
 Screw the adjusting screw into the axis – when
doing this use the THM adjusting tool, the end of
the THM bottom bracket tool or, if necessary,
a suitable coin (such as a 1 Euro piece).
 Tighten the adjusting screw carefully and slowly
until the bottom bracket does not exhibit any play,
but can still be turned easily by hand.

Adjustment of the bottom bracket is now complete.

 Remove the clamping screw (1) .

Apply a medium-strength thread lock (Loctite or
other similar substance) to the thread of the clamp-
ing screw.
 Replace the clamping screw.

Tighten the clamping screw using a tightening
torque of
8N·m (71lbf·in) .

Tighten the adjusting screw (2) using a tightening
torque of 6N·m (53lbf·in) to prevent it from becom-
ing lost during travel.
