Rear Shocks
Select only compatible shocks and forks
for your bike. Do not modify your bike in
any way to mount one.
Have your shock or fork installed by a
professional bike mechanic
Riding with the wrong rear shock can
damage the frame. You could have a
serious accident. Make sure the total
travel, eye-to-eye length, and stroke length
of the rear shock you select meet the
"Specifications" listed in this manual.
When selecting different shocks or forks
for your bike, make sure that the shock or
fork you select is compatible with your
bike's design and how you will use your
bike.
You can be severely injured, paralyzed or
killed in an accident if you ignore this
warning.
Minimum Seat Post Insert
Make sure at least 100 mm of the seat post
is inserted into the frame at all times.
Failure to insert the seat post at least 100
mm can place a very high stress on the
seat tube top tube junction causing the
frame to fail while riding.
Remove the seat post. Measure 100 mm
from the bottom of the seat post. Use a
permanent marker to mark the post at 100
mm.
When adjusting the seat post height in the
seat tube, never adjust the seat post so
that the line you mark is above the top
edge of the seat tube.
You must also be aware that bicycle seat
posts are permanently marked by the
manufacturer with a "minimum insert" line
on the seat post itself. You must not rely
on this marking as an indication of the
proper minimum seat post insertion depth.
You can be severely injured, paralyzed or
killed in an accident if you ignore this
warning.
