keY information
A special service tool
KP169/
contains parts
necessary to service the assembly. The parts of this
tool are shown shaded above.
When connecting the seatstays to the dropouts,
always insert the small end of pivot spacers into the
dropout bearings .The flat side of the spacers should
face out, as shown.
When tightening the axles, insert the 5mm hex
key completely into the axle to prevent damage
when turning the bolt. Always tighten with a torque
wrench to the specified torque.
maintenanCe
The condition of the bearings, pivot axles, and
spacers should be inspected periodically. These are
normal wear parts so plan to have them renewed as
they wear-out.
Inspection frequency should be based upon how
and where you ride. Evidence of damage would be
excessive play, visisble wear, or perhaps corrosion of
bearings.
If you find any damage to the parts, discontinue
riding until all the parts (bearings, pivot axles,
spacers) can be renewed. This will help prevent
damage elsewhere.
See the kits list in the back of this supplement for
renewal kits.
Check for sufficient housing cable loop. Its about 35mm as shown above. Inadequate loop can result in ghost shifting or housing ends
pulling out of down tube when the bike is at full travel. Its best to determine housing lengths with the shock out of the bike. That way
you can move the swing arm through the travel and actually see what the cable housing is doing. It always looks like there is too much
cable housing when set up properly. Photo shows crossing housing to prevent the rear derailleur housing contacting the chainring. Or a
cable tie can be used. Be sure to install nose end seals and rubber seal at the housing ends as shown.
