Caution
Mineral Spirits are a common solvent
used in some popular lubricants for
bicycle chains. This chemical solvent is
extremely effective at dissolving dirt
and grime; however, Mineral Spirits
are also extremely harmful to all types
of plastics, such as the polycarbon-
ates used on the bash ring on our
e*thirteen crankset. Pay very close
attention to this list of approved and
unapproved lubricants and degreas-
ers! When in doubt, ride dirty.

Chain Length
To determine the correct chain length:
shift into the large chainring and largest
cog and let all the air out of your shock.
Thread the chain through the gears
and derailleurs, compress the suspen-
sion all the way to bottom out, and
cut the chain at the minimum length
needed with the rear derailleur
stretched out.
Tapered Head Tube
The HDR, SL-R, and Ripley feature a
tapered headtube that works with new
tapered steerer forks.
Known as mixed tapered,
or “ZS44/28.6 | EC49/40” in the
Standardized Headset Identification
System. This standard is compatible
with both the Chris King Inset 3 and
certain Cane Creek headsets
(see our webstore for the offerings.)
The Hakkalügi Disc features a tapered
steerer too, with the following S.H.I.S
identification: IS41/IS52. If you want

For those who like to experiment with
head angle and changing steering
geometry, Cane Creek now offers a
headset called the AngleSet, which is
compatible with the Mojo HDR, Mojo
