CARBON FRAME GUIDE

Please read the following instructions. If you have any doubt regarding your mechanical ability, visit your local authorized Fuji dealer. Fuji recommends that the bottom bracket, headset, rear derailleur and water bottle bolts be installed according to recommended torque specification.

Warning: Failure to follow any warning may result in a catastrophic failure of the seat post, resulting in serious injury or death. This phrase may not be repeated in connection with each warning.

Assembling a complete bicycle is a complicated task. Only a trained and experienced bicycle mechanic should install components to this frame.

Warning: Bicycle assembly requires training and experience. If you do not have the experience and training as a bicycle mechanic, DO NOT attempt the assembly of this bike. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious injury or death.

Follow all torque specifications to ensure the best assembly possible and to prevent any damage to the components or frame. For correct torque specifications as well as recommended loads that the contact points of the frame are capable of accepting, please refer to the owner’s manual.

Warning: Failure to follow torque specifications will void your warranty. It may also damage the frame, which may not be visible to the eye. If there is damage to the frame, this can result in loss of structural integrity, which may result in serious injury or death.

All bicycle components should be compatible with each other (i.e. handlebar, handlebar stem, seat post, saddle, brakes, etc.). Any doubt regarding compatibility should be addressed with an authorized Fuji dealer.

Warning: You should never clamp the frame when placing this bike in a repair stand. Always clamp the seat post. Clamping the frame can cause serious damage to the frame which may not be visible. This will impair the structural integrity of the frame. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious injury or death.

Your Fuji frame does not require any pre-installation preparation to the bottom bracket or head tube. Surfaces are prepared at the factory. Grease will still need to be placed on the bottom bracket threads and the head set cups. If necessary, you may need to chase the bottom bracket threads.

BOTTOM BRACKET:

Clean and grease bottom bracket shell threads before installing.

Recommended torque is 442 in-lbf (50 Nm).

Do not exceed maximum torque of 670 in-lbf (70 Nm).

HEADSET INSTALLATION:

All Fuji road bikes come with integrated headsets. No headset tool is required. Clean and grease headset cups before installing bearings. Do not mix headset components with other headsets. For example, crown races vary from headset to headset.

REAR DERAILLEUR:
