PART II
■ Seat Post
Remove from seat tube and remove from saddle.
Disassemble the head/saddle clamp assembly. Clean
and inspect all parts carefully for cracks.
Pay particular attention to the bolt (or bolts) that clamp
the saddle in place. If the bolt looks stretched, bent or
in any way damaged, replace it. Note that these bolts
have been known to be broken due to fatigue when
not properly tightened. They must be tightened with a
torque wrench.
The threads of the seat post bolts be greased before
reassembly.
Be sure the clamp assembly is clamped only to the
straight parallel part of the saddle rails.
■ Seat Post Lubrication
Clean and apply the following to a seat post before
inserting into the frame.

■ Saddle
While the saddle is o the seat post, clean and
inspect the rails carefully for cracks. Check the
saddle rails to the saddle body; make sure that the
rails are firmly attached.
■ Pedals
Remove both from the crankset. Clean and inspect
carefully for cracks. Pay particular attention to the pedal
axle. See clipless pedal manufacturer’s instructions for
information on cleat wear and replacement.
■ Crankset
Remove both sides from the bottom bracket. Clean and
inspect all parts carefully for cracks. Examine both inside
and outside surfaces. Pay particular attention to edges,
shapes and changes of shape that are a part of your
particular crankset design. Also check the area around
the pedal mounting holes.
■ Wheels
Clean the wheels. Inspect the hub flange, where the
heads of the spokes are hooked (or otherwise attached)
to the hub flange, for cracks. Inspect the rim where the
spokes meet the rim. It is not uncommon to see cracks
form where the spokes meet the rim.
■ Brake Track of Wheel Rim
The brake track is the surface of the rim where the
brake pads make contact. While not related to fatigue,
this surface can be worn out. We urge you to inspect
the brake tracks on your rims. They can wear out quite
quickly on a mountain bike used in abrasive conditions.
Many rims have brake track wear indicators; please ask
your retailer to show you this feature.
Some brake pads are very aggressive and speed up wear.
If you see a noticeable amount of wear relative to the
nearby surface untouched by the brake pads, speak to
your retailer about possible replacement. Severely worn
brake tracks can lead to a broken wheel.
WARNING
DO NOT RIDE ON A RIM THAT HAS BEEN WORN
OUT!
If the wear indicator shows that the rim is worn out,
there is a danger that the rim could be broken due
to tire pressure and/or riding loads.
IF THE RIM BREAKS WHILE YOU ARE RIDING
YOU COULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT, WITH RISK OF
SERIOUS INJURY, PARALYSIS OR DEATH.
