EVERY SINGLE-BOLT SEATCLAMP ON A DEVINCI BICYCLE REQUIRES A HIGH TORQUE. THAT’S WHY A TORQUE WRENCH MUST BE USED TO
OBTAIN PROPER TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS, OTHERWISE A LOUD CREAKING NOISE CAN BE HEARD WHILE PEDALING SEATED ON THE SADDLE.
MAKE SURE YOU SLIGHTLY GREASE ALL METAL-TO-METAL CONTACT POINTS, ESPECIALLY THE MECHANISM CL AMP BOLTS.
WHEN QUICK-RELEASE SEATCL AMPS ARE USED, MAKE SURE THE BOLT IS ADJUSTED SO THAT PROPER TIGHTENING FORCE IS APPLIED
WHEN
THE LEVER IS IN THE CLOSED POSITION. WHEN BOLT-ON SEATCLAMPS ARE USED, MAKE SURE THE BOLT IS PROPERLY TIGHTENED.
KEEP IN MIND NOT TO USE GREASE ON CARBON SEATPOSTS AND/OR FRAMES; USE SPECIAL CARBON ASSEMBLY PASTE INSTEAD. PLEASE
ALWAYS REFER TO THE MANUFACTURER’S OWNER MANUAL FOR PROPER TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
AS PART OF THE COCKPIT ASSEMBLY, STEM CAP BOLTS SHOULD BE INSPECTED OFTEN TO MAKE SURE PROPER TORQUE IS APPLIED AS
REFERENCED IN THE STEM OWNER’
S MANUAL. DO NOT USE GRE ASE ON CARBON STEER TUBES AND CARBON HANDLEBARS, ALWAYS
REFER TO THE PART’S OWNER MANUAL FOR PROPER INSTALL ATION.
IN ORDER TO WORK PROPERLY, THE HEADSET ASSEMBLY REQUIRES THE STEM BOLTS TO BE TIGHTENED TO SPEC TO KEEP EVERY THING
TIGHT AND SECURE. FOR CARBON STEER TUBES, A PROPER CARBON SPECIFIC EXPANDER PLUG NEEDS TO BE USED INSTEAD OF A REGU-
LAR STAR NUT. PLEASE ALWAYS REFER TO THE MANUFACTURER’S OWNER MANUAL FOR PROPER ASSEMB
LY.
DRY SHOCK BOLTS AND/OR LOOSE SHOCK BOLTS CAN GENERATE SOME NOISE IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF. WE RECOMMEND LUBRICATING THE
SHOCK BOLTS BEFORE ASSEMBLY, AND MAKE SURE TO APPLY SOME BLUE LOCTITE ON DRY AND CLEAN THREADS BEFORE TORQUING TO
SPEC.
EACH AND EVERY PIVOT BOLT SHOULD BE TORQUED TO ITS PROPER SPECIFICIATION WITHIN THE DEVINCI SPLIT-PIVOT MANUAL. IN MOST
ENVIRONMENTS, LUBRICATINGS THOSE PIVOT POINTS AND BOLTS SHOULD ELIMINATE ANY CREAKING ISSUES WITHOUT T
HE NEED FOR
BEARING EXTRACTION. IF NOISES PERSIST AFTER LUBRICATION, PLEASE VISIT YOUR LOCAL DEVINCI AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR BEARING
REMOVAL /INSTALLATION AND OVERHAUL PROCEDURES (SPECIAL BEARING EXTRACTOR NEEDED).
