All pivot bolts are factory treated with a threadlocker patch on the threads. If it begins to wear off, remove
any remaining threadlocker, then apply a new coat of Loctite 243 or install new bolts with the pre-applied
threadlocker patch.
CAUTION: Only apply grease to the unthreaded portion of the bolt shaft and the inner bolt head surface
(YELLOW highlighted portion of bolts as shown in the image).
CAUTION: Contaminating the threads of any of the pivot bolts with grease could lead to the Loctite not
functioning as intended; the bolts could come loose causing damage to the bicycle.
For best alignment results, do not torque any of the rear triangle pivot and shock bolts until the rear triangle is
fully assembled to the front triangle.
