In order to successfully build the Enduro FSR rear triangle, it is very important
to follow the order of operations as outlined in this manual. Modifying the
order of assembly will result in a longer build process.
Grease all bearing surfaces before placing the spacers against the bearings.
This helps keep the spacers in place when assembling each pivot. Always
place the smaller (tapered) surface and/or the spacer seal against the bearing,
and the wider surface against the frame or stay.
Apply green loctite to all the bearing/bore interface surfaces, then press all the bearings into
All pivot bolts are factory treated with a Nylock patch on the threads. If the their respective pivot locations:

„„ All housings are routed internally through integrated frame and chainstay tubes. Enduro FSR frames are compatible with certain SWAT (Storage, Water, Air, Tools)

7.2. SWAT DOWN TUBE STORAGE

„„ The SWAT Down Tube Storage is a pair of soft wraps designed to contain a tube, pump
and two CO2 cartridges. The wraps fit inside the down tube, through an access port at the
base of the down tube to store essentials (Carbon models only).
„„ The down tube SWAT cavity has a “bulkhead” device to block off the lower part of the
down tube. The bulkhead can be positioned in the down tube by slightly loosening the
down tube protector upper bolt, sliding the bulkhead forward or backward, then tightening
the down tube protector bolt to 7 in-lbf / 0.8 Nm.
