CAUTION: The 5mm A/F hexagon socket in the M8 screw (15) is only intended
for holding the screw to prevent rotation. So the tightening torque MUST ONLY
be applied to the M8 Flanged Nut (9).
Moving to the Main Frame (16) and Chain-stays (19), reference figure 22, check that the
shield washers are in place on the inside of the chain-stays (see items 2 in figure 16) and ap-
ply either SKF LGAF 3E or Castrol Optimol T anti-fret paste to the contacting faces between
those shield washers and the main frame (16), where they pivot behind the bottom bracket
shell. Ensure that those shield washers are not pushed out, as you lower the chain-stays (19)
into position. Pass the M6 x 70mm long hollow pivot pin (13) through the chain-stays (19)
and Main Frame (16). Make sure that there is still a substantial amount of grease covering
both of the KP6AX Bearings (items 1, figure 16). Place a collar (12) on the outside of each
KP6AX bearing (recessed side facing outwards) and then screw an M6 Countersunk Cap-screw
(11) into each end of the pivot pin (13). Using the 4mm A/F Allen keys, torque tighten the M6
countersunk cap-screws (11) to the recommended torque settings (refer to the Tightening
torque settings in Section 8.0). Wipe off any excess grease from around the chain-stays and
frame.
Returning to the Seat-stays (17 & 18) and the H-link (20), check that the shield washers are
in place at the front of the H-link (20), (see items 2 in figure 13). Also apply either SKF LGAF
3E or Castrol Optimol T anti-fret paste to the contacting faces between those shield washers
and Main Frame (16). Then place the Seat-stays (17 & 18) and the H-link (20) around the
seat-tube of Main Frame (16).
pushed out, as you lower the H-Link (20) into position. Also ensure the shock extender (7) is
situated above the H-Link (20). Then pass an M8 x 71mm long stud (10) through the H-Link
(20) and the Main Frame (16).
Screw an M8 Flanged Nut (9) onto each end of the M8 x 71mm long stud (10). Using the
10mm Sockets, torque tighten the M8 Flanged Nuts (9) to the recommended torque settings
(refer to the Tightening torque settings in
Section 8.0).
IMPORTANT: before final tightening of
the M8 Flanged Nuts (9), it is important
to make sure that the end of each nut
(9) is flush with the end of the M8 x
71mm long stud (10). Using the flat-
bladed screwdriver in the end of the stud
and the 10mm spanner on the nut, ad-
just the stud accordingly. Refer to Figure
20.
Then make sure that there is still a sub-
stantial amount of grease covering all six
of the KP5AX Bearings (Items 1, figure
13) in the H-Link (20). Refit all six of the
M22 Bearing Caps (7) by carefully screw-
