This document serves as a comprehensive service manual for Race Face Trace Hubs, providing detailed instructions for maintenance, repair, and part replacement. It emphasizes the importance of professional installation and proper service to ensure product integrity and rider safety. The manual covers various aspects of hub care, from bearing replacement to cassette body maintenance and general cleaning.
The core function of this manual is to guide users through the process of servicing Race Face Trace Hubs, specifically the J615 (front) and J624/J622 (rear) models. It outlines the necessary tools, parts, and step-by-step procedures to perform common maintenance tasks, ensuring the longevity and optimal performance of the hubs. The manual also includes a detailed parts list and a hub code appendix to help users identify compatible components and understand hub configurations.
One of the key usage features of this manual is its clear and structured approach to service. Each procedure, such as "FRONT BEARING REMOVAL" or "REAR HUB FINAL ASSEMBLY," is broken down into numbered steps, making it easy to follow. Important notices and tips are highlighted to draw attention to critical information, such as warnings against using excessive force or applying grease to specific areas. The inclusion of diagrams illustrating the "FULL CONTACT SIDE" and "STEPPED SIDE" of the drifts helps users correctly orient tools during bearing installation. The manual also provides a list of approved greases and oils, ensuring that users apply appropriate lubricants for each service step, which is crucial for the proper functioning and durability of the hub components.
Maintenance features are extensively covered, starting with a "WARNING AND SAFETY INFORMATION" section that stresses the importance of professional installation and adherence to specifications to prevent product failure and injury. The manual details specific procedures for bearing replacement in both front and rear hubs, including instructions for removing old bearings, cleaning components, and installing new ones. It also addresses cassette body replacement, providing separate instructions for Shimano HG/XD and Micro Spline cassette bodies, which cater to different drivetrain standards. A dedicated section on "REAR HUB CLEANING AND LUBRICATION" outlines a seasonal maintenance routine, including thorough cleaning of all parts, inspection for damage, and application of appropriate lubricants. This section emphasizes the use of specific degreasers and the avoidance of harsh cleaners that could damage hub components. The manual also provides guidance on inspecting seals for tears or worn edges and replacing them if necessary, which is vital for protecting internal components from contaminants.
The manual is designed to be user-friendly, with a "PARTS LIST" that clearly identifies required and optional components for each hub model. It also includes a "TOOL LIST" for every procedure, ensuring that users have all the necessary equipment before starting any service. The "VAULT KIT (F60185) CONTENTS" section details the specialized tools included in the kit, such as bearing removal tools and installation drifts, and explains their compatibility with Trace and VAULT hubs. The laser etching on kit parts for easy identification further enhances the user experience. The "APPENDIX A - TRACE SPARE PARTS LIST" provides a comprehensive catalog of compatible and alternate parts, including cassette bodies, axles, bearings, end caps, seals, spacers, and even decal kits, spokes, and tubeless valves. This extensive list helps users find the exact components needed for repair or customization. The "APPENDIX B - TRACE HUB CODES" offers a visual guide to understanding the various configurations of Trace hubs, breaking down the codes by front/rear, boost/non-boost, and cassette body type (Micro Spline, HG, XD, and their aluminum/steel variants). This coding system helps users accurately identify their specific hub model and select the correct replacement parts.
Overall, this manual serves as an indispensable resource for anyone performing maintenance on Race Face Trace Hubs, providing clear, detailed, and safety-conscious instructions for a wide range of service tasks.
