PEDAL INSTALLATION
9
Grease the pedal threads and install pedals to the crankarms. Torque to 31–34
N•m (274–301 in-lb). Use the included pedal washers (a, Figure 9) if the pedal
contact surface is not flat and smooth.
i m p o r t a n t : drive side is right hand pedal-thread. Non-drive side is left hand pedal-thread.
MAINTENANCE
i m p o r t a n t : use only water and a mild soap to clean crankset and bottom bracket. Do
NOT use a pressure washer.
NOTE
If creaking of the assembly occurs, check that all parts are torqued to specifica-
tion, and grease is liberally applied on all surfaces noted. Verify that chainring
bolts are torqued to 8–9 N•m (80–90 in-lb). If creaking continues, consult your
local Truvativ dealer for assistance.
NOTE
GXP seals are designed to prevent contamination and therefore must rub against
their sealing surfaces. New GXP seals will feel stiff upon initial installation. This is
normal. With use the seals will wear-in and loosen up.
NOTE
Ceramic bottom bracket bearings require regular maintenance. Re-grease
bearings using SKF LGHP2 grease after 100 hours of use in dry conditions
or immediately following any significant exposure to water (riding in heavy
rain, water crossings).
