Rear Axle
The rear axle is a screw-through Syntace X-12 Boost148 type. The axle is supplied with the frame and requires a 5mm
Allen key to install and remove. The derailleur hanger is also Syntace X-12 Type1. Both regular and Shimano Direct

It is important to quote the ‘2RS’ addendum as this specifies the seal type. To ensure your Cotic Rocket performs at
its best we recommended that you buy the highest quality bearings from a reputable manufacturer (eg. Enduro, SKF,
NSK, etc).
The Seatstay/Swingarm pivot uses a 1/2” internal diameter bushing. This is identical in size to a regular shock bushing.
We install a high specification IGUS plain bearing, but if you are stuck without spares, any 1/2” shock bushing will fit
and be safe to use.
The bearings and bushings are press fitted into the frame housings. Old bearings should be knocked out carefully
using a drift and a hammer. New bearings should be pressed in square using a large vice with soft jaws into the
housings to prevent frame damage and ensure accurate alignment.
If you do not have the equipment to press the bearings in DO NOT attempt to install them using a hammer or similar
as you run the risk of damaging the frame.
When re-installing the pivot axles after changing the bearings, it is imperative that all the spacers and axles are installed
again correctly. When disassembling take note of the order in which assemblies came apart. Make sure they go back
