Component Notes Component Notes:For modern external bearing type BB/Cranks with some older generation VP-Free frames -
You will have to face the bb shell to use this setup, as there is a ridge of aluminum on the non-drive side of the shell that will interfere with the external cups.Not really a big deal to face them off if you have the correct tool (talk to your bike shop).Later models were made compatible with external bearing type BB.

Rear Shock Setup Because it is highly likely the original rear shocks on older models are repaired/replaced/upgraded throughout the lifetime of the frame, we offer some very basic tuning guidelines, and recommend using the original rear shock manufacturers manual for more detailed set-up for the specific rear shock you have. Contact the rear shock manufacturer for info if you do not have it.
The key component for set-up with any rear shock here is sag. Once you have that set-up correctly, the rest of the shock settings are fine tuning adjustments (Rebound and Compression damping, etc.) set to rider preference.Recommended sag is 18-22mm at the shock shaft - This equates to approximately 25-30% of the total rear wheel travel. Less sag = a firmer suspension feel.For Coil rear shocks here is a rough spring size to weight guideline for average coil shocks.
This can vary based on rear shock model and manufacturer.100-130lbs - 350#140-160lbs - 400#160-170lbs - 400#180-200lbs - 450#210-230lbs - 500#
