11.Variable dropper post
10.Cable routing front derailleur
• Push the cable housing into the right-hand,
bottom hole at the steering tube. Guide the
housing through the down tube and have it exit
at the bottom bracket.
• From the bottom end, slip a foam tube over the
cable housing.
• Have the end of the cable housing exit at the
rear end of the seat tube.
• Install the black cable guidance and tighten
the screw at the frame cable exit hole.
• Cut the end of the cable housing with specific
Bowden cable pliers and connect it with the
front derailleur.
• Insert the cable housing or hydraulic hose into
the cable hole at the down tube, close to the
steering tube. Push the housing into the down
tube and have it exit at the right hand of the
bottom bracket.
• Now slip a foam tube over the bottom bracket
all the way to the top end of the housing, close
to the steering tube.
• From the bottom, push the housing into the
seat tube.
• For the assembly and installation of the vari-
able dropper post, stick to the manufacturers’
manuals.
NOTE: depending on the handlebar width,
the number of spacers underneath the stem,
the frame size and the length of the cable,
the cable housing or the hydraulic hose can
alternatively exit the frame at the right-hand
cable hole next to the steering tube.
NOTE: the seat tube is specifically
prepared for the installation of an Eightpins
variable dropper post with very precisely
manufactured, small tolerances. The
measurements of the frame including the
inner tube diameter must not be altered.
NOTE: in case the frame is painted or ano-
dized, the internal diameter of the seat tube
within the first 140 must not be altered.
E. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
1. Headset bearing
With normal usage, the bearings of the headset
do not have to be dismounted or greased.
In case you notice a defect bearing anyways, you
may order the specific bearing in your Liteville
WorksStation or directly at Syntace.
Never point at your bearings with a high-pres-
sure water jet as this can easily damage them.
After all, too much “maintenance” may even
harm your bearings.
2. Screws
The screws in your frame are all made from
Titanium or Aluminum and are produced
specifically for Liteville frames. They are all
mounted with screwlock. Nonetheless, you are to
check the correct tightening torque frequently.
ADVICE: in case a screw can actually be
twisted as the tightening torque is che-
cked, the screwlock is broken and as a
consequence needs to be exchanged. The
screw needs to be secured again. Unscrew
it, clean it and reassemble everything with
screwlock.
We have summed up a “Screwlock Basics”
at www.liteville.de > FAQ.
3. WorksFinish surface
The Liteville WorksFinish is a genuine raw Alu-
minum surface, free of any kind of protection
paint, meaning it is no Aluminum simulation. The
frame actually shows the signs of the original ma-
nufacturing process. Stains are thus common, the
frame may even change its color slightly which
leads to the natural charm of a grown patina.
The surface can be reprocessed at all times either
chemically or mechanically with a Scotch-Bri-
te-Finish or by being polished manually. The
frame comes standard with two Scotch-Brite
grinding fleeces. Try applying it on a spot that is
not seen directly.
NOTE: The WorksFinish frame comes with
3M stickers. It is your choice if you put them
on your frame or if you do not.
