ASSEMBLY
Rear Pivots
The pivots assembly is a simple mechanism that allows the rear triangle to
move up and down in combination with a rear suspension. Size, shape,
and compounds will vary between models; however, operating principles
are the same. A shaft will pivot inside of two bushings secured in place
with bolts. Pivots should be kept clean and free from grime and should be
disassembled and regreased at least once a riding season. Please note the
drive side crank arm must be removed from the spindle before attempting
to work on the pivot. Some models have two small (2.5mm) Allen bolts on
the underside of the bottom bracket shell. These must be removed before
attempting to disassemble the pivot. After disassembling and cleaning,
the shaft of the pivot assembly should be lightly coated with lithium-based
grease, as well as the bushings and the threads of the attaching hardware.
Please remember: Never use WD-40 to grease components. It is a
degreaser that will not provide required lubrication and has a tendency to
attract dust.
