Important: Use only the Carbon paste provided
to lube the frame joint to insure easy assembly and
secure coupling.
To assemble your ES frame, line up the
two ends of the frame. Be careful to not bend the prongs
on the male end. The slot should line up with the seat
slider quick releases.
Slide the frame together slowly to make sure the slots
line up and engage properly.
When the frame is pushed together the Volae logo
should be about 45 degrees from the seat slider.
Rotate the frame until it stops, the Volae logo and seat
slider should line up, and tighten the two pinch bolts**
and the anti-rotate bolt. This insures proper wheel
alignment. Connect the shifting and brake cables, attach
the seat and you are ready to ride.
** Make sure the pinch bolts are inserted through the
non-drive side (no threads) of the clamp and into
the threaded side of the clamp.
** Pinch bolts do not have to be removed to take the
frame apart.
The ES frames come with end caps for use on the
exposed frame ends so damage does not occur when the
bike is in transit.
Take the frame apart occasionally and lube the joint with
the provided paste to prevent the tubes from seizing
together.

Volae frame separates in the middle to facilitate packing in a standard bike travel case while preserving the high performance
that you demand.

Volae tandems are available with either two or four S&S Couplers.
