Whoever assembles an AX-Lightness and

engage bicycle frame from a bare frame car-

ries the responsibility for ensuring that the

components are selected and mounted in

accordance with the manufacturers’ guide-

lines, generally accepted standards and the

state-of-the-art in science and technology.

If you have any questions as to the com-

patibility of individual parts with the frame,

please contact your AX-Lightness and en-

gage dealer, call our service centre on +49

(0)9270 / 91513-0 or send us a mail to info@

ax-lightness.de or info@engage-bikes.de

All carbon bres of the AX-Lightness and

engage frame were arranged in a way to

meet the strength specications for those

directions of force to which they are nor-

mally subjected. The cable stops must only

be subjected to forces as they are exerted

by the gear or brake cable. Do not pull on

them at an oblique angle or against the

direction of the cable, i.e. away from the

frame, e.g. in an attempt to prestretch the

cables. This could otherwise cause damage

to the AX-Lightness and engage frame.

On the AX-Lightness and engage compo-

nents the torque values are printed direct-

ly on them or on stickers (a-c). Be sure to

observe these specications. Also observe

the assembly instructions in the relevant

chapters of this manual and the assem-

bly instructions of the other components’

manufacturers.
