TIGHTENING TORQUE
Correct tightening forces on fasteners, nuts, bolts, screws on your bicycle are crucial. Too little force, and the fastener may
not hold securely. Too much force, and the fastener can strip threads, stretch, deform or break. Either way, incorrect tighten-
ing force can result in component failure, which can cause you to loose control and fall. If in any doubt, or if any problems
are found during the pre-ride check you should immediately seek professional advice from a professional bicycle mechanic.
Study the manuals of the suppliers of the suspension fork, rear shock, and other parts that come with this frame. Do not ride
the bicycle until all problems have been resolved. Riding a bicycle with any defects can be a hazard to your health and life!
Unless you are a very competent bicycle mechanic, do not attempt to execute any of these adjustments yourself. Seek
advice at your local bicycle shop. The rear suspension bolts (rear shock and pivots) have been tightened in the factory with
specifi c torque. In case of re-adjustment extreme care should be taken when re-tightening them.
DO NOT lubricate any of the pivot points. High quality self lubricating Tefl on has been applied in the factory.
