5.2. PIVOT ASSEMBLY
All pivot bolts are factory treated with a blue Nylok patch to help prevent the threads from
seizing and/or creaking. Additionally, grease can be applied to the entire contact surface of the
bolts, including the threads.
To properly assemble the Epic, lightly grease the contact surfaces of the bolts, as well as the
surfaces of the spacers that interface with the inner race of bearings (highlighted ORANGE).

„
When installing the rear triangle, make sure the nylon tubes go into their respective sides
(left nylon tube in left hole).
„
Wrap a 25mm wide x 70mm long piece of adhesive-backed fuzzy hook-and-loop (Velcro)
around the brake-side nylon tube, 260mm from the chainstay ICR port (positioned where
the two nylon tubes would cross).
To prevent kinking the nylon tubes, install shift housings in the tubes before
inserting the nylon tubes into the seat tube holes.
A touch of talcum powder applied to the holes of the rubber boot can help the
nylon tubes slide into the front triangle more easily.
