Which components are recommended?

Chains:

Chain rings:

Cranks (chain line):

Reversibel sprocket with 15, 16 and 17 teeth (Art. #8220, #8221 and #8222)

Sprocket with 13 teeth (Art. #8219)

chain tensioner (Art. #8250)

DH chain tensioner (Art. #8245)

chain guide CC (Art. #8290)

All 1/2" 3/32" eight speed chains are suitable for use and compatible with the
sprockets. However, these thicker chains are by no means stronger and not recommended for use with the

In addition to this, they are too wide to pass through the

chain tensioner. When using

a 15 tooth sprocket, it is important to make sure that the chain does not measure more than 8.5mm in height (over
the joint), otherwise it is possible that rub/wear marks could appear on the hub shell.

All chainrings for a 1/2" 3/32" chain can be used for the
It is important to check the concentricity of the mounted chainring when utilizing an eccentric BB or adjustable
dropouts so that the tension of the chain is correct in all crank positions.

The use of sprockets 15, 16 or 17 teeth on the

require a chain line of approx. 54mm

from the frame center. This needs the use of the outer chainring from triple cranksets such as standard Shimano
(Largest chainring: 54mm, middle chainring 47.5mm). The middle and smallest chainrings are usable. After the
disassembly of the middle and smallest chainrings, the bolts for securing the largest chainring are now too long,
because they are now only securing one chainring to the crank. For this reason the
small parts bag includes five chainring spacers to distance the original bolts. For retrofitting with double
chainring cranksets, the outer chainring should definitely be used.

The

comes fitted with a 16 tooth sprocket. 15 and 17 tooth reversable sprockets are

available as alternatives. Hereby, an individual sprocket/chainring combination can be applied (see "Technical
data" - "chainrings"). The 15, 16 and 17 tooth sprockets are reversable, and therefore, can be used from both drive
sides. For sprocket removal, a special

sprocket removal tool (Art. #8501) is needed. When using a 15

tooth sprocket, it is important to make sure that the chain does not measure more than 8.5mm in height (over the
joint), otherwise it is possible that rub/wear marks could appear on the hub shell.

For the use of the

on small wheeled bicycles (e.g. 20" folding bikes and recumbants)

the special 13 tooth sprocket is needed. It uses a different chain line (58mm instead of 54mm) and is not
reversable. When using a

chain tensioner on frames with dropouts thinner than 7mm, the longer chain

tensioner mounting bolt (Art. #8255) must be separately ordered. For sprocket removal, a special
sprocket removal tool (Art. #8501) is needed.

Mounting a chain tensioner is necessary on frame types A, C, D, E and G (see "frame types"), because the chain is
not tensionable by simply sliding the wheel within the dropouts. The chain tensioner is just as necessary on frames
with rear suspension, this is because the distance between the chainring and sprocket varies as the rear suspension
is activated. The span capacity of the

chain tensioner is 10 links or 20 teeth. The use of the

chain

tensioner also requires the use of a chain guide up front.

The

DH chain tensioner is specially designed for extreme downhill use. As opposed to the regular

chain tensioner it has a shorter link arm that is not able to swing on the mounting point. This keeps the chain
securely in position against the sprocket, guaranteeing a positive run from the chain onto the sprocket even in
extreme riding conditions. The use of the

DH chain tensioner also requires the use of a chain guide up

front.

The

chain guide CC prevents the chain from springing off the chainring on all bikes fitted with a chain

tensioner. The

chain guide is adjustable depending on the chain line (distance between chainring and

frame center) between 52mm and 62mm. The chain springing off the chainring in extreme riding conditions is not
preventable by a chain tensioner alone.

The

DH chain guide is specially designed for extreme downhill use. It eliminates the chain from falling

off the sprocket and onto the hub casing which could happen in extreme riding conditions.

The

is only available in a 32/36 spoke version. The ideal rims to be used are triple

hollow aluminum rims from known manufacturers with reinforced spoke eyelets (min. 4,4mm) or alternatively,
rims which are diagonally drilled or with countersunk nipple seats (e.g. ANDRA, GRIZZLY and EDGE 7 from
Rigida/Ryde or the Ex19 rim from Exal).

Because the spokes have a large say over the stability of the overall wheel, exclusive quality spokes from well
known manufacturers should be used. Double thickness spokes from DT-Swiss and Sapim are good examples.
When applying a lot of force on the wheel (pannier bags, tandem use, extreme use), the spokes should be fitted
with self-locking spoke nipples (lock nipples) during the wheelbuilding process. This reduces the risk of the
spokes loosening whilst riding. On rims without reinforced nipple holes, only spoke nipples with rounded heads
should be used (Sapim Polymax or DT swiss Prohead), this spreads the spoke tension evenly through the nipple
head against the rim.

The CC versions of the

are supplied with a hollow Q/R axle to secure the hub to the

frame. To be sure that the hub is correctly secured into the frame, it is advisable to use a Q/R lever with a steel
skewer. The use of lightweight Q/R levers with aluminium or titanium skewers is at the riders own risk! Make sure
that the maximum 7Nm closure torque is not exceeded when using a Pitlick or other Q/R systems!

The twist shifter of the

can only be used on straight handlebars with a diameter of

22.2mm and, therefore, is not compatible with regular racing handlebars. Special racing bars (eg racing bars from
the firm Norwid, www.norwid.de) allow the mounting of the twist shifter. More information is to be found in the
FAQs under

The

DB versions are equipped with an external gear mech and a special hub cap for

the mounting of a brake disc. Only brake discs with a

mounting hole diameter of 65mm and a center hole

diameter of 52mm can be used. Information about the various brake discs currently available can be found on the
