9. Once you are happy with the position of your
STFU damper, add the additional cable tie to
properly secure the unit to your frame. We like to
position the cable tie heads on the underside or
even back side of the chainstay so they are
not seen. Important: Use a pair of pliers to really
tighten the cable ties up so the dampers are as
secure as possible.
Note: Zip ties tend to stretch slightly after being
in the sun - this can allow your dampers to
rotate into the spokes which can destroy them.
Make sure you check zip tie tension after the
first few rides and tighten them as required.
After this they should be fine for the season but
its a good idea to check them every now and
then.
Leave a little extra length on the zip ties
when trimming to enable a pair of plyers to
be attached.
10. check alignment by shifting your bike through
the full range of gears and inspect everything
is still positioned as it should be.
11. Go shred on your newly quiet bike!
INSTALLATION -CHAIN DAMPERS
5/5
TRAIL | DH10 | DH07 | DH00
MOUNT DAMPER
CENTRAL TO
CHAINSTAY
MOUNTING LIKE THIS IS
UNSTABLE & NOT
RECOMMENDED
Note: The ideal position for your dampers is
central to your chainstay. This will result in the
most stable mounting. If you have to mount the
module off the side of the chainstay to prevent
chain rub then it will not be stable and is likely
to flex under impact forces AND end up in the
spokes.
We have tried to accomodate as many
frames as possible with the design, however,
there will be some frame/gearing combo's that
are simply not compatible. Using just one
module may be the only solution and one still
works well. Feel free to get in touch to discuss.
