FORK SETUP INFORMATION
WARNING! Status frames are compatible ONLY with forks that have travel of 8”
(200mm) or less. Use of different styled forks or forks with longer travel may
result in catastrophic failure of the frame which may result in serious personal
injury or death.
SEATPOST SETUP INFORMATION
SEATPOST MINIMUM INSERTION: To
prevent damage to the frame, it’s important
to have a minimum amount of seatpost in the
seat tube.
Aluminum frames:
If you cannot see the seatpost tube
through the seat tube hole, your seatpost is
too far extended. If a greater saddle height is
required, replace the seatpost with a longer
one.
