Dropout
Key Information:
A special service tool KP169/ contains parts necessary
to service the assembly. The parts of this tool are shown
shaded above.
When connecting the seat stays to the dropouts, always
insert the small end of pivot spacers into the dropout
bearings . The at side of the spacers should face out,
as shown.
When tightening the axles, insert the 5 mm hex key
completely into the axle to prevent damage when
turning the bolt. Always tighten with a torque wrench
to the specied torque.
Maintenance
The condition of the bearings, pivot axles, and spacers
should be inspected periodically. These are normal wear
parts so plan to have them renewed as they wear-out.
Inspection frequency should be based upon how and
where you ride. Evidence of damage would be excessive
play, visible wear, or perhaps corrosion of bearings.
If you nd any damage to the parts, discontinue riding
until all the parts (bearings, pivot axles, spacers) can be
renewed. This will help prevent damage elsewhere.
See the kits list in the back of this supplement for
renewal kits.
