Check the rear derailleur hanger
alignuent. A bent rear derailleur
hanger will result in inaccurate index
shifting.
Attach the rear derailleur to the fraue's
rear derailleur hanger using a 5 uu hex
wrench (Figure 1).
Check that the b-adjust washer tab is
clear of the rear derailleur dropout tab
(Figure 2).
Tighten the 5 uu hex hanger bolt to
8 - 10 Nu (70-85 in-lb) (Figure 1).
C H A I N L E N G T H
ypassing the rear derailleur, run
the chain around the largest cog/large
chainring coubination (Figure 3).
Add 2 link or 1 link connection link to
this length for proper chain length.

view the rear derailleur and pulleys frou
behind the rear of the bicycle (Figure 4).
Turn the liuit screw uarked 'h' on the
outer link of the derailleur to align the upper
guide pulley center with the outboard edge
of the suallest cog (Figure 4).
While turning the crank, push the rear
derailleur towards the larger cogs by hand.
Align the upper guide pulley under the
largest cog, center to center, by turning
the liuit screw uarked 'L' on the outer link
(Figure 4).
C H A I N G A P A D J U S T M E N T
Chain gap is the distance between the
upper guide pulley and the cog the chain
is riding on. 0ptiual chain gap is suall
enough to allow quick, efficient shifts to
and frou any cog, but large enough to allow
suooth shifts to and frou the largest cog.
Shift the chain to the suall chain ring.
Check the chain gap between the tip of
the suallest cog and the tip of the upper
guide pulley. While turning the crank,
push the rear derailleur by hand to the
largest cog and check the chain gap in this
position. (Figure 5).
using a screw driver, turn the b-adjust
screw until the uiniuuu chain gap in either
position equals approxiuately uu.
A D V I C E
Setting the chain gap at this point of
your installation uay be considered
a rough estiuate. Frecision index
shifting uay require suall changes
of the b-adjustuent while setting the
proper cable tension.
o not use the b-adjust screw to
adjust the rear derailleur to act
as a chain-tensioning device or to
prevent chain suck. This increases
the chain gap causing poor shifting
perforuance.
I NDE X S HI F T I NG ADJ US T ME NT
Attach the rear derailleur to the fraue's
rear derailleur hanger using a 5 uu hex
wrench (Figure 1).
Check that the chain and the rear
derailleur are in the suallest cog position.
Cut the rear piece of cable housing. Make
sure that it is not too short or long (Figure
6).
Make sure the shifter cable is fully
released (hardest (highest) gear at rear
shifter).
Turn the rear derailleur barrel adjuster
clockwise fully into the derailleur, then
back it off 1 full turn.
Feed the rear shifter cable through the
rear derailleur cable housing, stops and
cable guides.
Thread the cable through the rear
derailleur barrel adjuster and around the
cable guide on the fin (Figure 6).
Full the cable tight and position it under
the cable anchor washer.
Tighten the 5 uu hex cable anchor bolt to
1 - 5 Nu (35 - 15 in-lb).
Fapidly shift the chain and derailleur up
and down the cassette several tiues. lf the
cable slips repeat the two foruer steps.
Shift the chain to the suallest cog.
While pedaling, uove the shifter up one
detent.
- lf the chain hesitates or does not shift to
the second cog, increase the cable tension
by turning the derailleur barrel adjuster
counterclockwise.
- lf the chain shifts beyond the second cog,
decrease the cable tension by turning the
derailleur barrel adjuster clockwise.
Fepeat the two foruer steps until shifting
and cable tension is accurate.
While turning the crank, shift the chain
up and down the cassette and chain rings
several tiues to ensure that your derailleur
is indexing suoothly.

IMPORTANT
To ensure that your dual pivot road calipers perforu properly and to help uake your riding experience
uore enjoyable and trouble-free, we highly recouuend that you have theu installed by a qualified bicycle
uechanic. For SFAM brake lever inforuation please consult the lntegrated rake Shifter user uanual.
CAUTION
rakes are a safety-critical iteu on a bicycle. luproper set-up or use of brakes can result in loss of
control or an accident leading to a severe injury.
lt is your responsibility to learn and understand proper braking techniques. Consult the user uanual
for your bicycle and a professional bike dealer.
Fractice your riding and braking techniques on a flat and level surface prior to aggressive riding.
The effectiveness of braking is dependent on uany conditions over which SFAM has no control.
These include the speed of the bicycle, type and condition of the riding surface, braking lever force,
proper installation and uaintenance of brakes, cables, levers, brake pads, the condition of the bike,
weight of the rider, braking technique, weather, and a variety of other factors. Feueuber, it takes
longer to stop in wet conditions.
SFAM brakes and levers are not intended for use on any uotorited bicycle or vehicle. Any such use
could result in serious personal injury.
lnspect your brakes regularly for dauage, and always inspect theu thoroughly after any crash or se-
vere iupact. lf you detect dauage, please have your brakes inspected by a professional bike dealer.
IMPORTANT
SFAM's standard road brake pads are optiuited for aluuinuu rius. lf used with cerauic coated or
carbon rius use brake pads specifically suited for these riu uaterials and inspect theu often as
they uay wear quickly. When the grooves on your brake pads disappear, they are worn and need to
be replaced with new brake pads.
I N S T A L L A T I O N

Install the brake caliper.
Red/Force (pictured): lnstall the brake caliper and hand tighten the uounting nut (fig. 1a, b). use a
13 uu wrench to approxiuately center the brake caliper on the riu (fig, 1c). hold the brake caliper
in position, then tighten the uounting nut with a 5 uu hex wrench to 8-10 Nu (70-90 in-lb). Turn the
brake pad centering bolt with a 3 uu hex until the brake caliper is precisely centered on the riu (fig.
1d).
Rival (not pictured): lnstall the brake caliper and hold it so it is approxiuately centered on the wheel.
use a 5 uu hex wrench and tighten the uounting nut to 8-10 Nu (70-90 in-lb).
2
Position the brake pads.
use a 1 uu hex wrench to adjust the brake pad position along the riu. Toe-in, the angle of contact
between the pad and the riu, can also be adjusted to optiuite braking feel and perforuance. Tighten

Adjust spring tension - Red/Force only:
The spring tension on the brake caliper can be adjusted to your preference. icycles with coupli-
cated cable routing uay experience increased cable friction and will require higher spring tension
for proper function of the brake caliper. Turn the spring tension adjustuent screw clockwise to
increase spring tension.

Check the rear derailleur hanger
alignuent. A bent rear derailleur
hanger will result in inaccurate index
shifting. 0utboard side iupacts are
the uost couuon causes of this type
of dauage.
Attach the rear derailleur to the fraue's
rear derailleur hanger using a 5 uu hex
wrench (Figure 1).
Check that the b-adjust washer tab
(b-adjust screw) is clear of the rear
derailleur dropout tab (Figure 2).
Tighten the 5 uu hex hanger bolt to 8 - 10
Nu (70-85 in-lb) (Figure 1).
C H A I N L E N G T H
A properly ueasured chain will prevent
dauage in case of accidentally shifting
to the largest chain ring and cog
coubination. This type of accidental
shifting uay cause haruful binding or
seiture of the chain and potentially cause
severe dauage.
ypassing the rear derailleur, run the
chain around the largest cog/large
chainring coubination (Figure 3).
- For rear suspension fraues, position
the rear suspension for the greatest chain
length required.
Add 2 LlNKS or 1 link Connecting Link to
this length for proper chain length.
LI MI T SCREWS ADJUSTMENT
view the rear derailleur and pulleys
frou behind the rear of the bicycle
(Figure 4).
Turn the liuit screw uarked 'h' on the
outer link of the derailleur to align the upper
guide pulley center with the outboard edge
of the suallest cog - clockwise uoves the
guide pulley inboard towards the wheel.
While turning the crank, push the rear
derailleur towards the larger cogs by hand.
Align the upper guide pulley under the
largest cog, center to center, by turning the
liuit screw uarked 'L' on the outer link -
clockwise uoves the guide pulley outboard
away frou the spokes.
C H A I N G A P A D J U S T M E N T
Chain gap is the distance between the
upper guide pulley and the cog the chain
is riding on. 0ptiual chain gap is suall
enough to allow quick, ef ficient shif ts
to and frou any cog, but large enough
to allow suooth shif ts to and frou the
largest cog.
Shift chain to the suall chain ring.
While turning the crank, push the rear
derailleur inboard by hand to the largest
cog.
hold the derailleur in this position while
uaking the following adjustuent.
using a 2.5 or 3 uu hex (screw driver
for X-5), turn the b-adjust screw until the
chain gap equals approxiuately uu (
1

")
frou tip of the cog to tip of upper guide
pulley (Figure 5).
- Turn the b-adjust screw clockwise to
increase the chain gap.
- Turn the b-adjust screw counterclock-
wise to decrease the chain gap.
A D V I C E
icycles equipped with an 11-28
cassette uay require you to set the
chain gap at the suallest cog. This
is due to the shallow angle of the
cassette in relation to the steeper
uoveuent of the 9 speed rear
derailleur.
lt is best to ueasure the rear piece
of cable housing between the fraue
and derailleur after the chain gap is
deteruined. See figure and chart for
recouuended lengths.
o not use the b-adjust screw to
adjust the rear derailleur to act
as a chain-tensioning device or to
prevent chain suck. This increases
the chain gap causing poor shifting
perforuance.
I NDEX SHI FTI NG ADJUSTMENT
Check that the chain and the rear
derailleur are in the suallest cog position.
Measure and cut the rear piece of cable
housing. Make sure that it is not too short
or long (see figure and chart).
Fotate the rear shifter until the largest
nuuber and gear indication tab/dash
line up.
Turn the rear shifter barrel adjust
clockwise fully into the shifter, then turn
counterclockwise 1 full turn.
Feed the rear shifter cable through the
rear derailleur cable housing, stops and
cable guides.
Feed the rear derailleur cable through the
rear derailleur-housing stop and through
the cable guide on the fin.
Full the cable tight and position it under
the cable anchor washer (Figure 6).
Tighten the 5 uu hex cable anchor bolt to
1 - 5 Nu (35 - 15 in-lb).
Fapidly shif t the chain and derailleur up

Fosition the casset te cluster and
individuel sprockets on the casset te body
by aligning the spline pat tern (Figure 1).
Screw the lockring in to the casset te
body and tighten it to 10 Nu (350 in-lb) by
using a casset te tool (1, Figure 2) like the
Fark Tool

Adjust the rear derailleur according to
the installation advice frou the derailleur
uanufacturer.
A D V I C E
ue to the optiuited stability of
the rear wheel, there is less space
between the right spoke flange and
the cassette. This ueans that not all
spoke protector discs available on
the uarket will fit. Flease carry out a
trial asseubly run before specifying
spoke protector
discs (spoke protector discs uust
not rub against the cassette).
M A I N T E N A N C E
A D V I C E
The only uaintenance necessary
on the cassette is to replace worn
sprockets.
lf the chain juups repeatedly on
a sprocket with correct derailleur
setting it uight be sufficient to
replace only the chain.
lf the new chain also juups on the
sprocket the sprocket is worn out
and should be replaced.
Always put on a new chain when you
replace worn sprockets.
To replace the sprocket do as follows.
Feuove the lockring by using casset te
tool (1, Figure 3) and a chain wrench (2,
Figure 3) to hold the casset te.
isasseuble the sprocket cluster by
unscrewing the suall bolt on the back of
the casset te.
Feplace worn or dauaged sprocket and
re-asseuble sprockets and spacers in the
correct order and re-install the bolt.
Make sure that all the splines on the
cogs are aligned to each other and the
casset te body pat tern.
Tighten the casset te with 10 Nu (350

CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
Fiding a bike with an iuproperly installed wheel can allow the wheel to uove or disengage frou the bicycle,
causing dauage to the bicycle, and serious injury or death to the rider. Your wheels uust be properly uounted to
the bicycle fraue. Misalignuent can result in probleus with shifting and bike handling. lf the wheel is not securely
uounted in the dropouts, it uay coue out when the bike is ridden, possibly causing injury or death to the rider. lt is
essential that you.
Ensure that your axle, dropouts, and quick release uechanisus are clean and free of dirt or debris.
Ask your dealer to help you understand how to properly secure your wheels using the quick release
uechanisu.
Apply the correct techniques when installing your wheels. Make sure four or uore threads are engaged in
the quick release adjusting nut when it is closed.
Never ride your bicycle unless you are sure your wheels are installed properly, and are secure.

PARTS PREPARATION
INSTALLING RIM TAPE
Note. you uust use a thin plastic or thin fabric riu strip for proper perforuance. We recouuend using our own SFAM riu tape. a durable, yet thin, woven tape, specihcally designed to
work with our rius. o not use velox

or a siuilarly thick cloth riu strip.


1. Align the valve hole in the riu strip with the valve hole in the wheel riu.
5. Stretch the riu strip around the riu. Make sure the riu strip is centered on the tire bed all the way around the riu.
luportant: uake sure all of the spoke holes are fully covered by the riu strip. ouble check that the riu strip valve hole is still aligned with the valve hole in the riu.
INSTALLING TIRES
. Mount one tire bead onto the riu using your hands. lf tire bead will not seat by hand, carefully use a plastic tire lever to seat the tire bead.
Note. check your tires for directional arrows printed on the sidewalls to indicate rotation of wheel. Not all tires have directional arrows. lnstall the tire with the uanufacturer's logo
near the riu valve hole. This will allow you to quickly hnd the cause of a puncture
7. lnNate tube enough to just hold its shape (not pictured).
8. lnstall the tube valve into riu valve hole and align valve so it is perpendicular to the riu. lnstall the rest of the tube between the tire and the riu uaking sure the tube does not get
twisted or bunched.
9. lnstall second bead onto the riu using your hands. lf tire bead will not seat by hand, carefully use a plastic tire lever to hnish uounting the tire. e careful to avoid pinching the inner
tube against the riu.
10. lnNate the tire to low pressure. lnspect both sides of riu for proper tire seating and for any sign of the inner tube sticking out. Fe-install if necessary.
11. lnNate the tire to full pressure. There should be no hops or side-to-side uoveuent in the tire when it is rotating (not pictured).
Note. SFAM wheels are rated to a uaxiuuu of 125 psi (8, ar).
ASSEMBLING AND INSTALLING THE QUICK RELEASE
12. unthread the adjusting nut frou the end of the quick release skewer and reuove the tension spring closest to the adjusting nut.
13. Slide the quick release skewer shaft through the hub axle. Fe-install the tension spring with the narrow end toward the hub axle and thread the adjusting nut a few turns onto the
skewer.
Note. if your tires have directional arrows, take note of the direction of rotation, and install your quick releases with the quick release levers on the non-drive side of the bicycle.

INSTALLING THE WHEELS ON THE BIKE
luportant. the wheel axle uust be fully engaged in the dropout.
Front Wheel
11. Check that the quick release skewer lever is in the open position. Check that the brake quick release uechanisu is open (not pictured).
15. lnstall the front wheel between dropouts with quick release lever positioned on the non-drive side of the bike. Check that the wheel axle is fully seated in the fork dropouts and clear of
any safety tabs.
NOTE: if your front tire has directional arrows, take note of the direction of rotation and install so that the quick release lever is on the non-drive side of the bicycle, and the tire rotates in
the proper direction.
1. Close the quick release half way, with the quick release lever parallel to the hub axle.
17. Tighten the quick release adjusting nut so that it contacts the dropout. When closing the lever, tension should be felt when the quick release lever is in the horitontal position (90
degrees to the fork), but you should still be able to reach the fully closed position (90 degrees to the hub axle). The quick release lever should leave a clear iupression on your hand. lf
the quick release lever does not leave a clear iuprint on your hand, tension is insufficient. To increase tension, open the quick release lever and tighten the quick release adjusting
nut in suall increuents until proper tension is achieved. When closed, the quick release lever should be positioned just behind the non-drive side fork leg. Feposition the lever as
necessary to achieve this orientation.
Rear Wheel
18. Check that the quick release skewer lever is in the open position. Check that the brake quick release uechanisu is open (not pictured).
19. Shift the derailleur and chain to the highest (suallest) gear (not pictured).
20. Full back and down on the rear derailleur to open chain and install the cassette between upper and lower sections of chain so that the chain wraps around the suallest cog.
21. Check that the wheel axle is fully seated in the fork dropouts (not pictured).
22. Close the quick release half way, with the quick release lever parallel to the hub axle (not pictured).
23. Tighten the quick release adjusting nut so that it contacts the dropout. When closing the lever, tension should be felt when the quick release lever is in the horitontal position (parallel
to the ground), but you should still be able to reach the fully closed position (90 degrees to the hub axle). The quick release lever should leave a clear iupression on your hand. lf the
quick release lever does not leave a clear iuprint on your hand, tension is insufficient. To increase tension, open the quick release lever and tighten the quick release adjusting nut in
suall increuents until proper tension is achieved. When closed, the quick release lever should be positioned between the seat stay and chain stay. Feposition the lever as necessary
