Service instructions
Trouble shooting
Noise from the saddle:
o Apply friction paste between the seatpost hardware components.
Noise from the seatpost:
o Apply friction paste between the seatpost shaft and the frame.
Seatpost slipping down:
o Apply friction paste between the seatpost shaft and the frame.
o Control the torque at the seat clamp: Max torque 7.5 Nm.
Play in the headset:
o Remove stem cover, unlock stem bolt and tighten lightly the headset bolt. Refer to page 29.
Friction in the headset
o Make sure nothing is stuck in between frame and fork.
o Take apart the headset and replace the bearings. Refer to page 32.
Play in the handlebars:
o Do not ride with play in the stem system.
o Control the torque settings of the bolts attaching the stem to the fork. Refer to page 32.
o Control that none of the stem bolts is damaged.
Rear wheel moving while riding:
o Control that the rear wheel adjusters are positioned tight against the hub. There must be constant pressure from the
adjusters when you secure the rear wheel in place with the quick release lever.
Play in the brake levers:
o Control brake cable tension: Proceed again to the steps described page 21-22.
The brake lever has too much reach:
o Control if there is play in the brake lever. If not, the brake pads needs to be spaced towards the rim. Add spacers between the pads
and the brake arms. Refer to page 22.
I am switching from my training wheels to my race wheels, which are wider:
o Some carbon rims are much wider than standard alloy wheels. It is often needed to remove the spacers between brake
pads and brake arms. It can also be needed to use thinner brake pads to fit the widest rims.
o We recommend you to keep a pair of racing brake pads (matching the pair of race wheels) and a pair of training pads
(matching the training wheels).
