Install chainstay clamping plates
1A
1A: Decide where you are going to place the extension tube clamping
plates on the chainstays.
1C
1C: Install the chainstay clamping plates with the wider side facing the rear
dropouts. This puts the notched lower piece correctly toward the drive side of
the bike. Tighten the nut to 15-20 N-m using a 17mm wrench. As you tighten,
check two things:
•
That the square head of the carriage bolt is fully seated in the square
hole on the extension tube bracket
•
That the chainstay clamping plates are centered and clamp straight across
the chain stays, and the extension tube bracket is lined up with the
centerline of the bike.
If your front derailleur cable rubs the plate, you may mount the plate as far
back as possible while avoiding cable rub. Alternately, place a section of thin
plastic tube over the cable to avoid rubbing. Jagwire housing liner would work.

1B: Once you have decided on
proper placement, assemble the
clamping hardware on the longer
M10 carriage bolt as shown.
