Assembling and equipping frame sets
FELT frames can also be delivered plain for individual assembly and fitting (a).
Frames are delivered ready for assembly, i.e. with threads cut, bearing shells and
seat tube reamed out.
Use high-grade grease, when mounting the components (except for carbon seat
posts and stems for carbon forks) to the frame, to inhibit corrosion. Omission of the
grease may make future disassembly problematic or impossible.
Road and triathlon frame sets are delivered including fork (b). Observe the fork
manufacturer’s instructions for mounting carbon fork tubes.
Whoever assembles a bicycle from a bare frame has to ensure the com-
ponents are selected and mounted in accordance with the manufactur-
ers’ guidelines, generally accepted standards and the state of the art in
science and technology.
Do not clamp the frame in a workstand by the frame tubes! This can
damage the thin-walled tubes. Instead, first mount a suitable seat post
(solid aluminium seat post) to the frame and then clamp on this.
!!
When mounting a fork to a mountain bike frame, note that the fork crown
must be able to turn freely without touching the down tube. If necessary,
use a headset which is slightly higher.
If you have any questions regarding compatibility of individual parts with
the frame, ask your FELT dealer or contact our service department.
As a result of continuous innovation and detail improvements, the speci-
fications and required procedures may change. Visit our website and ask
your FELT dealer for the details of your frame.
