Tips
1. Cable Routing: Make sure you don’t have any cable rub on the frame. Any time a cable comes near a frame, use clear vinyl protective covering to
protect the frame finish and the metal. Leaving exposed cable rub will cause damage to the structural integrity of the frame.
2. Use Blue loctite on all pivot hardware. Check pivot bolts often. Damage caused by loose pivot hardware is not covered under warranty.
3. Headtube reaming is not required. Over-reaming can cause irreparable frame damage. Facing the top/bottom of the HT can be performed for optimum
headset fit. Have a qualified bicycle mechanic perform these operations.
4. Facing of the Bottom Bracket Shell is optional and should only be performed by a qualified bicycle mechanic.
5. The bottom bracket shell is threaded at the factory after welding and heat treatment and in most cases does not need to be chased. If the Bottom
Bracket does not thread in smoothly, do not force it, have a qualified shop mechanic chase the threads.
6. Cable Routing: on this particular frame, a clean cable routing can be obtained by routing the cables on underside of Top Tube between the top tube and
the inside of rocker-arm. Make sure you check for any cable binds before riding with this configuration.
7. Shock Mounting: If you feel a knocking/clicking in the middle section of the bike, it is potentially caused by the main rocker arm shock mounting bolt
not being tight enough. Ensure that the shock mounting bolts are properly torqued and greased, see torque specs above.
8. Bearing Service: Make sure you regularly check the function of the bearings. Don’t ever run pressurized water into the bearing areas. If bearings need
replacement, use the Transition Bikes Bearing Installation and Removal Tool (Part# 95.3000)
