The Pivot Bolt
WARNING: Under normal
use, the pivot bolt should
not need adjustment. If the pivot
bolt needs adjustment please
have it serviced by a certified
bicycle technician.
When the LockJaw is unlocked,
the frame can rotate around the
pivot bolt. Follow the following
instructions to adjust (loosen/
tighten) the pivot bolt. Sometimes
it might be difficult to rotate the
frame because the pivot bolt is too
tight (one reason for this is that
you may have accidently affected
the tightness of the pivot bolt while
you were adjusting the adjustment
nut).
A 2 mm Allen key and a 6 mm Al-
len key are needed to adjust the
pivot bolt.
The pivot bolt and its lock screw
are on the bike's non-chain side.
NOTE: Only turn the pivot bolt in
small increments (e.g. a 1/8 turn)
each time otherwise you might
over tighten or over loosen it.
Step 1 - Open the lock screw with
a 2 mm Allen key.
Step 2 (Loosen) - Turn the pivot
bolt counter-clockwise to loosen it
as indicated by the arrow (6 mm
Allen key).
Step 2 (Tighten) - Turn the pivot
bolt clockwise to tighten it as in-
dicated by the arrow (6 mm Allen
key).
Step 3 - When you are finished
close the lock screw with a torque
of 1 Nm.
