TIMBERJACK FRAMESHEET
WARNING:
* Allowable Tire Size Rangeis the allowable range of the
measured width of any tire, for the noted wheel size, that results
in appropriate minimum clearance in the frame when mounted
to the user’s desired rim and properly inflated, regardless of tire’s
labeled size. Max** and Min*** Diameter requirements also
still apply.
**Maximum Wheel/Tire Diameter is the maximum allowable
measured outer diameter of any tire, regardless of wheel size,
which results in appropriate minimum clearance in the frame
when mounted to the user’s desired rim and properly inflated.
***Minimum Wheel/Tire Diameter is the minimum allowable
measured outer diameter of any tire, regardless of wheel size,
that is recommended to be fitted in the frame in order to maintain
adequate ride height of the complete bicycle and minimize the
chance of pedal strike.
WARNING: Make sure any rim/tire combo has at least 6mm
of clearance between rotating and stationary masses.
Refer to salsacycles.com for geometry and sizing information.
Fork Compatibility
NOTE: Please refer to the Alternator 1.0 Dropout instructions for
proper use, maintenance, and warranty information.
WARNING: Do not use suspension forks exceeding 541mm
axle-to-crown or rigid forks exceeding 502mm axle-to-crown.
Doing so will void the frame warranty and may result in damage or
failure of the frame and possible serious injury to the rider.
WARNING: Always check for adequate clearance between the
FRONT tire and/or fender and any accessory fitted to the
accessory mounts located on the underside of the downtube.
Check the entire steering range.
Refer to salsacycles.com for geometry and sizing information.
Care & Maintenance
Keep your frame clean. Dirt and road grime lead to oxidation
and fading of the finish, and they make it hard to do a thorough
inspection. Dirt will accelerate any abrasion of the paint that
comes from rubbing, such as places where the cable housing
touches the frame. In extreme cases, this type of abrasion could
remove frame material.
When your bicycle is not being ridden, store it where it will be
protected from rain, snow, sun, etc. Rain or snow may cause the
metal on your frame to corrode.
If your bicycle was exposed to moisture during a ride, thoroughly
dry the bicycle before storing it. If water got inside the frame,
tilt the bicycle to drain the water. If necessary, remove the
seatpost and turn the bicycle upside down. This is especially
critical if there is a large amount of water inside. If water freezes
inside your frame, the expansion of the ice can crack and rupture
the structure.
Before storing your bicycle for an extended period of time, clean
and lubricate the frame with a frame wax, polish, or protectant.
Do not store the bicycle near electric motors, as ozone from
motors destroys paint. Before riding the bicycle again, follow the
pre-ride checklist to be certain it is in good working order.
Inspection
Before every ride carefully inspect your frame for signs of fatigue.
If any frame part shows signs of damage or fatigue, consult your
dealer or replace the frame before riding the bicycle.
WARNING:
• An improperly modified frame, fork or component can cause
you to lose control and fall. NEVER MODIFY YOUR FRAMESET
• Attaching incompatible clamping devices to a frame or fork can
lead to breakage, causing a loss of control. If you are not sure
if a device is compatible, consult your dealer
• Improper installation of bolts may lead to product failure,
causing serious injury. Do not exceed specified torque values.
Periodically inspect bolts and retighten if required
SERIAL NUMBER:______________________________
Get a pen and write down the serial number of your Salsa
immediately. The number is stamped into the bottom of the
bottom bracket shell. Having this number is imperative if your
bike ever gets stolen or if you ever have questions about your
frame…we are constantly improving our products and sometimes
the serial number is the only way to tell one generation of product
from another.
