For assist bicycles with rear suspension, make sure in advance that there is no weight applied to
the rear suspension.
NOTICE
• When installing parts on a carbon frame, confirm the recommended tightening torque
with the carbon frame or part manufacturer in order to prevent damage to the carbon
material due to overtightening or inadequate securing of the components due to
insufficient tightening torque.
About compatibility

chain device that can be installed may also differ, depending on the model of the chainring
unit. For details, check the product lineup on the SHIMANO product website (https://
