The Rollik 150 frame incorporates a novel system to quickly adjust the geometry between two dierent
sengs or modes. The normal mode is useful as an all-around trail seng, providing a useful amount of
pedal clearance for rocky terrain and nimble steering at most climbing and descending speeds. The low
mode sacrices some pedal clearance for a lower center of gravity and more precise steering at high
speeds. To switch between the two modes, follow these steps:
1. Unscrew the rear shock mount screw 3 full turns (1080°) using a 10mm box end wrench:
A. Geometry Adjustment
2. Push downward on the screw to free the oval shaped head of the shock pin from its recess on
the shock yoke:

6
3. Turn the shock pivot pin 1/2 turn (180°) using a T25 Torx tool. Direcon of rotaon does not maer:
4. Push upward on the oval shaped head of the shock pin to return it to its recess in the shock yoke
and ghten the shock mount screw using a 10mm box end wrench. Torque 10Nm (80in-lb). Do
not overghten:

7
Once familiar with the operaon of the geometry adjuster, a visual check should be enough to determine
the geometry mode. However, it may be necessary to perform the adjustment to conrm its posion.
Low mode– front edge of eyelet reducer is set back away from front surface of yoke:

1. Make sure your seatpost collar is installed on the frame. The seatpost cable/hose is easiest to
install by feeding from the seat tube to the head tube, but can be fed starng at the head
tube if necessary. Tape the seatpost cable housing or hydraulic hose to the lead tube at the
seat tube end. Make sure to clean the end of the cable/hose and the lead tube with alcohol
before taping. Tape the two together in line, and wrap the tape several mes around the
juncon for sucient contact.
2. While feeding the seatpost cable/hose into the seat tube, gently pull the lead tube out of the
port near the head tube. If excessive resistance is met, the tape joint may be too bulky and
should be reduced. The cable/hose must curve around a relavely small radius between the
seat tube and the down tube. It is recommended to help the seatpost cable/hose around this
curve with a nger or two through the access port in the BB shell.
B. Internal Dropper Seatpost Roung
IMPORTANT:
Install your internal dropper seatpost cable/hose before installing the boom bracket assem-
bly. Your Rollik 150 frame is supplied with a lead tube installed in place of the dropper seatpost
cable/hose to ease installaon. Please do not remove the lead tube unl the dropper seatpost
cable is installed.

9
3. Connue to feed the seatpost cable/hose while gently pulling the lead tube from the port
near the head tube. When the seatpost cable emerges from the port, remove the tape and
store the lead tube in a safe place:
4. Proceed to install your dropper seatpost per the seatpost manufacturer’s instrucons. You
may wish to install other components on the frame before compleng the dropper post instal-
laon.

10
C. Rear Brake Hose Roung
1. Begin by installing the rear brake caliper and any applicable adapter if using a rotor larger
than 160mm. Please note the Rollik 150 frame is not compable with rotors larger than
180mm.
2. Route the rear brake line starng from the caliper- aaching it to the rear triangle using the
supplied zip es on the cable saddles, and the screw in the p-clip.
3. Leaving a small amount of slack between the p-clip and the front triangle, connue to route
the line up the down tube using the supplied zip es.
D. Rear Derailleur Cable Roung
1. Begin by feeding the rear derailleur cable housing into the rear port on the top of the drive
side chainstay near the rear axle. It will emerge from the forward port on the chainstay yoke
behind the boom bracket:

11
2. Slip the supplied p-clip on the cable housing between the rear triangle and front triangle. Do
not install the p-clip to the frame at this me:
3. Feed the cable housing into the port on the drive side of the down tube. It will emerge from
the port on the non-drive side of the head tube:

12
4. Feed the cable housing though the headset unl desired length is reached. Then secure p-
clips to the frame as shown below.

13
1. Ensure that the boom bracket shell threads are clean, and that any internal seatpost cable/
hose has already been routed.
2. Follow the boom bracket manufacturer’s requirements for internal dust sleeve and cup
spacer orientaons if required. Take care to observe the le/right orientaon of each cup.
The right/drive side cup is reverse threaded. Screw the boom bracket cups in by hand.
3. Using the boom bracket manufacturer’s installaon tools and an accurate torque wrench,
torque the boom bracket cups to the manufacturer’s specicaon.
E. Boom Bracket Installaon
IMPORTANT:
If using an internal dropper seatpost cable/hose, install the seatpost cable/hose before in-
stalling the boom bracket assembly

Leaf Spring Related Precauons
The Living Link leaf spring, and its associated hardware, which include the 9 T30 Torx fasten-
ers, main pivot clevis are to be treated as integral to the rear triangle of the frame.
Do not aempt to remove or modify the leaf spring!
Doing so is likely to damage the leaf spring, hardware, and possibly the rear triangle itself.
Any quesons or concerns regarding the leaf spring should be directed to Spot:
www.spotbrand.com
[e-mail]
303-278-3955
It is recommended to periodically check the torque on the 9 leaf spring mounng fasteners.
This should be done approximately every 100 hours of ride me, or once per year, depend-
ing on which occurs sooner.
1. Fit your torque wrench with a T30 Torx bit and the shortest extension required to reach
the fasteners.
2. Clamp the bicycle securely in a work stand and remove the rear wheel.
3. Stu a thick rag or towel between the upper link and the seat tube. The rear bridge of
the link swings upward– it is important to protect the seat tube in the event that the
link over-rotates in the next step.
4. Remove the front shock mount bolt and nut, and swing the shock upwards while very
carefully compressing the rear suspension at the rear dropout area. The leaf spring will
inially resist compression, but once past mid travel, it will tend to pull the rear
swingarm upward. Let the suspension come to rest in the upward posion to gain access
to the leaf spring mounng screws.
5. Turning the torque wrench clockwise (as seen looking at the head of the fastener) and
verify that all 9 fasteners are at or above 12N-m (106in-lb).

16
1. Remove the rear wheel and the rear derailleur from the frame. It should not be necessary to
remove the chain or cable/housing from the derailleur:
2. The derailleur hanger is removed using a T25 Torx tool on the external screw. When replacing
the derailleur hanger, be sure to apply medium strength (blue) thread locking compound to
the screw. Torque: 6.5Nm (57in-lb)
F. Rear Derailleur Hanger Removal/Replacement

17
1. Using a 10mm 12-point wrench and a T30 Torx tool remove the nut and screw from the forward
and rear shock mounngs respecvely. Remove both shock pivot pins:
G. Rear Shock Removal/Replacement
2. Li the forward end of the shock and pull it towards the front of the bike to free the rear eyelet
from the shock yoke:
3. Installaon is the reverse of removal. Shock fastener torque: 8.5Nm (75in-lb)

18
1. Using a T30 Torx tool, remove the screw, drive side pivot cap, and o-ring:
H. Rear Triangle Removal
2. Using a 19mm open end wrench, remove the non-drive side pivot nut and o-ring:

19
3. Using a T30 Torx tool, loosen the center screw unl the head stands 10mm above the surface of the
pivot axle:
4. Sharply strike the head of the center screw with a hammer. A dri punch can be used here to im-
prove hammer accuracy. This will unseat the pivot axle on the drive side from its taper. Remove
the center screw and drive side pivot axle:

20
5. Insert an Ø8-10mm dri punch into the main pivot bore from where the drive side pivot axle was
removed. Ensure rm, even contact with the inner face of the non-drive side pivot axle. Strike the
dri punch sharply with a hammer to unseat the non-drive side pivot axle:
6. With the rear shock assembly removed from the frame, the rear triangle is now able to swing up-
ward away from the front triangle. Place a hand under the main pivot yoke while slowly swinging
the rear triangle up and rearward to catch the inner pivot washers and o-rings:
