Building Your Frame

**** Always follow manufacture torque specs for all components.
**** We strongly recommend you get your bike built by or checked over by a qualified mechanic before riding.
**** Improper assembly could result in reduced product life, injury or death.

Foreword:
Your frame has been pored over by an experienced and detail oriented mechanic at our base in Whistler BC. It has been inspected, reamed, chased, measured, checked and re-packed. All that is left to do is to make a bike out of it!

Checks Completed:

  • Frame checked for imperfections, both paint and decals.
  • Seat tube honed, post fit checked with gauge.
  • Head tube honed, headset fit checked with gauge.
  • Chase/hone BB threads, fit checked with gauge.
  • Install greased water bottle bolts (where fitted).
  • Dropouts fitted and torqued to spec (where applicable).
  • Rear axle and hub fitment checked.
  • Head-badge fitted and inspected for imperfections.
  • Chain stay protector fitted (where applicable).
  • Shock fitted and all pivot bolts greased and torqued to spec (FS frames only).
  • Owner’s manual completed and contents checked.

Known Compatibility Issues:

  • Surface Voyager
    • Large 4 piston calipers can have clearance issues. Hope being the most notable.
    • Not compatible with SRAM Transmission.
  • Monk
    • 4 piston brake calipers can be a tight fit on the Monk. Reach out if unsure.
    • However, it would be unusual to fit a 4 piston brake to a DJ frame.

Build Notes:

Again, we strongly recommend you have a professional mechanic build, or at the very least check over your bike prior to riding.
