Step 10
Step 11
ADJUSTING THE FRAME LATCH
Your bicycle should arrive with the frame latch properly adjusted. However, the frame latch will need
periodic adjustment to keep it functioning optimally. If you have an aluminum frame, the frame latch will
open and close with approximately 5-6 kg (11-13.2 lbs.) of force.
If you have a steel frame, the frame latch will open and close with approximately 3 kg. (6.6 lbs.) of force.
Step 1
Adjust the latch bolt so that the latch opens and closes
with the correct amount of force (5-6 kg. (11-13.2 lbs.) for
aluminum models and 3 kg. (6.6 lbs.) for steel models).
Turn the frame latch bolt counter-clockwise backing it
out of the threaded nut to tighten the latch, clockwise to
loosen the latch. Adjust in 1/16-turn increments until the
latch is properly adjusted.
Step 2
Add a drop of Loc-Tite glue to the bolt threads to prevent
loosening. Do not add Loc-Tite glue to the hinges.
Step 3
Periodically lubricate the lever to keep it working smooth-
ly. Caution: Some lubricants may damage the paint finish
and corrode the frame or hinges. Consult your bicycle
technician for advice on a good quality lubricant.
Steps 1 - 3
Warning: Proper adjustment of the
frame latch is critical to your safety.
If adjusted too tightly or too loosely,
injury to the rider or permanent
damage to the hinges may result.
Please check the frame latch before
every ride.
