Information
1. The ““3-piece” rear shock link design is the earliest rear shock linkage for Scalpels. Early model Scalpels can be
updated with the “Frog” link, a single piece forged shock link. See Tech Notes # TN002.PDF.
2. The T-shafts (9) are Teflon coated and should not be lubricated. If any creaking or noise is detected either the
T-shafts or link bushings (6) may be damaged.
CAUTION: Do not apply grease or other lubricants to the T-shafts.. Grease or lubricants can collect con-
taminants resulting in damage and accelerated wear of the parts. Always install the parts clean and dry.

3. The flange bushings (6) are a press fit into the link sides. They can be removed to install replacements. To
remove, carefully locate the punch and drive out. These flange bushings should be inspected often and replaced
when necessary.
4. The T-shaft screws (10) should be checked for tightness periodically. Loose screws can result in play detected in
the seatstay. When installing the screws, be sure to apply Loctite #242 to the threads and tighten to 2.25 N•m
(20.0 In•Lbs).
