(Note: use Anti-Seize Lubricant on all Titanium hardware)
1. Attach the rear triangle to the front triangle at the Main Pivot area. With the
stainless steel spacer washers in place between the bearings and the frame, tighten the
bearing axle to the torque indicated by the laser etching.
2. Attach the rebuilt shock link plates to the frame, making sure the Acetyl Thrust
Washers are in place (placed on the inside, between the bearing and the links). Install
the bolts, but leave them loose for now.
3. Attach the seatstays to the upper link. Place an Acetyl Thrust Washer in between the
Seatstay ends and the Shock Links. Slip the Seatstay Axles through the DU Bushing in
the link and through the Acetyl Thrust Washer, into the pocket in the Seatstay Yoke.
Install the M6 x 20mm long Bolts through the axles and into the press-in axle nuts.
Tighten to the torque specified on the links, or 11Nm.
4. Once the Shock Links are tightened to the Seatstay Yoke, tighten the Shock Link
bolts, installed in step 2, to the torque specified on the links, or 11Nm.
5. Re-install the shock, remembering that the upper and lower bolts may be different
lengths. Once the bolts are assembled in their proper locations they will need to be
tightened to the torque specified on the shock link.
6. Once complete, re-inflate the shock to your preferred pressure and/or
recommended sag (see Section 3 of this manual for proper sag settings).
7. Reinstall any parts you removed initially to access your suspension components.
8. Go Ride…
9. All pivot and mounting bolts should be re-checked for correct tightness/torque after
the first ride and periodically ever few rides after that.

Removing Bearings:
1. To remove the Main Pivot Bearings, insert the 15mm Split Bearing Puller (tool “V”)
into one bearing in the front triangle. You should feel it “snap” into place between
the bearing and the internal spacer. Then orient the rest of the tools as seen in Fig. 3.
Use an Allen wrench and open wrench to draw the bearings out of the frame. Repeat
this for the other side.
2. To remove the bearings from the Seat Tube orient the tools as seen in Fig. 4.
Holding Tool “M” with a 15mm open wrench will prevent the Link Axle from spinning
as you tighten the M6 x 35mm bolt (T). This will draw the axle from the frame,
bringing one bearing with it. Once the first bearing is removed, repeat this step for
the other bearing.
3. Place the links on your bench and assemble the DU bushing removal tools as
shown in Fig. 5. Use an Allen wrench and open wrench to draw the DU Bushings out
of the back of the links.
