ROCKY MOUNTAIN BICYCLES

TECHNICAL MANUAL
April 8th Edition
INTRODUCTION

No two riders are alike. That’s why at Rocky Mountain, our bikes are built according to

different platforms for different riding styles. The bikes may be different, but they all

share our commitment to quality and innovation; bikes that are built by people who

love to ride for people who love the ride.

OUR MISSION

Our goal is simple: build a high-grade quiver of bikes that riders will love to ride. It’s the

approach we take when we design, test, and build our extreme freeride bikes, our road

racers, or any of our city bikes.

Whether you’re looking for that certitude and grit to stick that big drop on the North

Shore, the faith that you can push just a little harder to win your category, or the peace

of mind in knowing you have the reliability in your city bike to take you on your daily

commute, you need to have confidence in your bike to really love the experience.

So, to ensure that every rider who rides a Rocky Mountain bicycle has the confidence

that they have the best bike there is, we employ a higher standard of manufacturing.

Visit our R&D design and testing facility in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and you’ll see this

adherence to quality for yourself.

SECTION I: GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
PLATFORMS

Lubrication:
Grease is required where the bolt contacts metal such as a bearing or the frame. We
strongly recommend Bel-Ray waterproof grease.

Frame and Linkage Bearing Installation:

Warning: This is a difficult procedure that needs to be done by an experienced

mechanic. Without a proper press and press-in tools parts can get damaged very easily.
If there is any uncertainty understanding this procedure, contact Rocky Mountain
Bicycles for assistance at: 1.800.663.2512

-To begin, ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry and free of any contaminants. It is
recommended to use Loctite Primer 7649 on any linkage pieces and the bearings before
installing bearings. This will speed the cure time but mostly will ensure proper cure of
retaining compound.
-Once the primer is dry apply Loctite Bearing Retaining Compound 638 or red or green
Loctite or equivalent to each linkage piece just before each bearing is pressed in. Ensure
that the bearing has completely bottomed out in the linkage before assembling linkage
to frame.
Again, caution should be taken as these bearings need to be pressed in square to the
pivot using proper tools.

IGUS Bushings Explained:

Rocky Mountain Bicycles have been using low maintenance IGUS Bushings for many
years. They are used to assist the rotation of our custom 12mm thru-bolt hardware.

There are 3 lengths of these bushings, 8, 10 and 15mm and all have a 12mm inside
diameter with a 14mm outside diameter.

*** FOR ABC™ IGUS Angular Contact Bushings found on Element, Thunderbolt, Instinct
and Altitude, please see the Assembly Guide on page 6 of this document.***

3
Lubrication

All IGUS bushing exterior surfaces shall be greased. We strongly recommend Bel-Ray
waterproof grease.

After washing with water the bushing area should be sprayed lightly with WD-40 to
disperse water, wiped clean to prevent dirt buildup and then re-greased. Caution:
prolonged exposure to water can cause the bushings to swell.

Installation

The process for installation and removal is quite simple. They are a mild friction fit and
do not need any special tools to install or remove. To install, using a pivot thru- bolt
works best. Slip the bushing with the round starter edge towards the frame over the
thru-bolt, insert the thru-bolt with the bushing against the base of the bolt head and the
round starter edge against the frame, into the pivot mount hole and tap lightly until the
bushing is FLUSH with the face of the pivot mount. Once the bushings are installed,
grease them with the recommended lubricant.

Removal

Using a round metal dowel, gently punch the bushings through from the opposite side.
Always replace with new bushings when re-installing.

Seatpost Insertion Explained:

Seat post must be inserted at least 100mm (4 inches) on all full suspension frames for
warranty to remain valid; this is to ensure maximum support of the saddle during riding.

Hardware and Torque Specification:

All custom hardware (alloy thru-bolts, screws, and nuts) requires the use of LOCTITE 243
(blue) a medium strength thread-lock. The torque specification unless otherwise stated
is 100 to 110 in*lbs or 11.3 to 12.4 N*m.

Non custom hardware (steel bolts) requires the use of LOCTITE 243 (blue), a medium
strength thread-lock. The torque specification unless otherwise stated is 60 to 80 in*lbs
or 6.7 to 9.0 N*m.

4
Suspension Setup:

To maximize suspension performance, the sag (the amount the shock compresses under
rider weight) must be set correctly. A good starting point is to inflate the rear shock with
one psi per pound of rider body weight. We recommend the following sag percentages:

Platform Sag %
Element 30%
Thunderbolt 25%
Instinct 25-30%
Altitude 25-30%
Slayer 25-30%
Slayer SS 25-30%
Flatline WC 25-30%

Please refer to your rear shock owner’s manual for additional shock tuning information.

Assembly Instructions for ABC Bushing Frames
(Element, Thunderbolt, Altitude and Instinct)

6
 Preface
This next section is an example only, and intended to provide
general information for the assembly of ABC bushing frame
platforms.
At all times, the latest revision of the specific exploded Bill of
Materials (B.O.M.) drawing shall be taken as current and
accurate.

Frame Assembly
1.1 “One-­­tool” Hardware
The bikes feature custom aluminum self-centering and countersunk
hardware. With one-tool tightening, this system eases assembly and helps
prevent the hardware from loosening off during a ride.

*Note: during assembly, make sure the keyed portion of the bolt is engaged
and locked in place first, then tighten the screw.

Fig. 1.1.1 - custom bolts. Fig. 1.1.2 –“One Tool” self

centering, countersunk hardware.

7
 1.2 Angular Bushing Concept (ABC)
The Element features ABC bushings for all moving pivots and a flange bushing
with sealed ball bearings at the main pivot. This pivot system is expected to save
approximately 80 grams over the previous design, by removing the cartridge
bearings and instead using lightweight polymer bearings. This system minimizes
wear and is significantly stiffer than normal ball bearings.

This system consists of 4 main parts, the Igus Bushings, Alloy Angular Contact
Washers and the Alloy Through Bolt as seen in figures 1.2.1. and 1.2.2

1.4 Fastener Assembly

Assemble all fasteners with medium strength loctite 243 (blue) as a

lubricant, to prevent galling of threads and/or backing off of the screws
while riding.

Fig. 1.4.1 Apply enough Loctite 243 to evenly coat the threads of the screws

2.0 Frame Assembly

All metal inserts, bolts, bearings or screws that contact

the frame need a layer of Bel-Ray waterproof grease
applied to prevent corrosion , seizing and the
infiltration of dirt .

10
 The first step in assembling the frame is to assemble
the rear triangle. T he following image shows the
hardware required to assemble a complete frame.

2.1 Rear triangle assembly

The rear triangle is assembled in the following steps:

Prepare the chainstay for assembly by pre-positioning the O-rings and

greasing the inner surfaces of the chainstay pivot.

11
Prepare the seatstays by pressing the igus bushing in dry then greasing the
ABC washer on both sides.

Assemble both stays together making sure not to pinch the O-rings and then
align the stays using the 9.7mm drift tool. Insert the “L” bolt into the
chainstay.

Grease the conical washer then apply loctite 243 (blue) to the screw.

12
 Tighten the screw and torque it to 60 - 80 in-lbs or 6.7 – 9.0 N-m. Afterwards
position the O-rings and check that the seatstays move smoothly without
any lateral play.

2.2 Assembling the Main Pivot

Insert the igus sleeve bushing into the main pivot and then grease the front
triangle pivot surface, the bearing surface and the angular washer.

13
Place the angular washers onto the bearing with the washer’s small
diameter side facing the bearings and slide the chainstay onto the main
pivot while being careful not to drop the washers when positioning the
parts. Align with the 11.7mm drift tool.

Insert the main pivot bolt making sure that it is well greased and apply
loctite 243 (blue) to the screw. Then tighten the screw and torque it to 100 -
110 in-lbs or 11.3 – 12.4 N-m.

14
2.3 Attaching the Rear Shock to the Seat Stays (Altitude/Instinct)

Insert the shock bolt into the drive-side seat stay, and then place a greased
shock spacer onto the bolt with the conical face towards the seat stay.

Place the rear shock with the adjustments facing forward and to the ground
onto the bolt and then place the second greased shock spacer onto the bolt
with the conical face towards the non-drive-side seat stay.

Now fully insert the shock bolt and then place a greased conical washer onto
the seat stay.

15
 Apply Loctite to the screw and torque it to 60 - 80 in-lbs or 6.7 – 9.0 N-m.

2.4 Attaching the Link to the Seat Stays (Altitude/Instinct)

Press the igus bushings dry into the lower part of the link as shown below,
and then place greased ABC washer onto the link.

Place 2 O-rings onto each seat stay as shown and then grease all faces of the
seat stays.

16
Position the link onto both stays making sure not to pinch the O-rings and
align the stays using the 9.7mm drift tool. Then insert the sleeve bolts from
the inboard side of both of the seat stays.

Place a greased conical washer onto the non-drive-side seat stay then apply
Loctite to the screw and torque it to 60 - 80 in-lbs or 6.7 – 9.0 N-m.

Position the O-rings over the ABC washers as shown below.

17
2.5 Attaching the Link to the Top Tube (Altitude/Instinct)

Press the igus bushings dry into the upper part of the link as shown below,
and then place greased ABC washer onto the inboard faces of the link.
Position the link over the top tube pivot and align with the 9.7mm drift tool.

Insert the top pivot sleeve bolt into the link from the drive side.

Position the greased counter-sunk ABC washer then apply Loctite to the
screw and torque it to 60 - 80 in-lbs or 6.7 – 9.0 N-m.

18
2.6 Attaching the Rear Shock to the Ride-9 System (Altitude/Instinct)

Grease the shock spacers and position them on the rear shock then pre-align
them with the Ride-9 system.

Install the Ride-9 chips making sure that the shock bolt hole has the same
orientation on both sides.

Insert the 7.7mm drift tool from the non-drive-side to align the shock eye
then insert the shock bolt from the drive side.

19
Tighten the screw then torque it to 60 - 80 in-lbs or 6.7 – 9.0 N-m. Do not
put Loctite on this screw as you will possibly change your bike’s geometry
regularly.

20
2.7 Attaching the Rear Shock and Link to the Seat Stays
(Element/Thunderbolt)

The major difference between the Altitude/Instinct frame shown previously

and the Element/Thunderbolt is that the Element/Thunderbolt frame has a
single clevis on the seat stay and both the shock and the link are attached to
it.

Press the igus bushings into the link, they should be a snap-fit, then grease 4
ABC washers on both of their sides and place them on the lower portion of
the link. You will also need to place an O-ring on the inward facing ABC
washers.

21
Place an O-ring on the outward facing clevis of the chain stay and grease all
surfaces.

Grease both sides of the lower shock spacers and place them on the shock
then carefully position the shock between both seatstays keeping enough
pressure on the seatstays to hold the shock in place.

22
Insert the lower portion of the link into the seat stays, being careful to keep
the ABC washers and inboard O-rings in place. Insert the 9.7mm drift tool to
align the link and shock together then insert the lower shock bolt from the
drive side.

Place a greased conical washer onto the non-drive-side seat stay then apply
Loctite to the screw and torque it to 60 - 80 in-lbs or 6.7 – 9.0 N-m.

23
2.8 Attaching the Link to the Top Tube (Element/Thunderbolt)

Insert two greased ABC washers into the inboard sides of the upper portion
of the link. Position the link on the top tube then insert the 9.7mm drift tool
to align the parts.

Grease the sleeve bolt and insert it from the drive side into the link and top
tube.

24
Place a greased counter-sunk ABC washer onto the non-drive-side of the link
then apply Loctite to the screw and torque it to 60 - 80 in-lbs or 6.7 – 9.0 N-
m.

25
2.9 Attaching the Rear Shock to the top tube (Element/Thunderbolt)

Grease both sides of the forward shock spacers, and then place them on the
shock.

Position the forward end of the shock between the top tube pivots and then
insert the 9.7mm drift tool to align the parts. Insert the sleeve bolt into the
pivot from the drive side.

26
Place a greased conical washer onto the non-drive-side seat stay then apply
Loctite to the screw and torque it to 60 - 80 in-lbs or 6.7 – 9.0 N-m.

**Please note: This is ONLY A GUIDLINE. ACTUAL tire widths vary greatly for the same
size. ie a 2.35” Maxxis is MUCH smaller than a 2.35” Schwalbe. Also, ACTUAL tire size
can vary with construction. Entry level tires can balloon up more. Tire clearance will
also vary depending on FD spec (2x10, 3x10, Shimano, SRAM…). Consumers should
personally check clearance at FD and chainstay to avoid damage.
