About this Technology Support Manual
• The information in this Technology Support manual is intended for Authorized GT Dealers and Distributors. Information updates
are performed periodically and the most recent date of an update is displayed in the lower left corner of each page. GT reserves
the right to make product improvements and changes at any time without prior notice. No part of this Technology Support
manual may be reproduced without prior written permission.
• The latest updated version of this Technology Support manual is available in PDF format at: b2b.cyclingsportsgroup.com.
• The exploded views, illustrations, and photographs are intended only as an aid to identification of available replacement parts.
The frame specifications table are intended as a guide to frame and component compatibility, not the suitability of any particular
part. Ultimately, questions about part compatibility should be answered by experienced bike mechanics or be directed to GT
Technical Support before ordering.
• This Technology Support manual is NOT a complete or comprehensive service manual for the listed products. To obtain product
manuals, recall information, service bulletins and/or installation instructions
please visit: b2b.cyclingsportsgroup.com.
• Some service kits contain multiple parts, some contain a single part. If a service kit contains multiple individual parts (e.g. O-rings,
fasteners, pivot axles), the multiple parts will be identified by a single kit\- A, B, C...
Servicing Guidelines
• Use a properly calibrated torque wrench when tightening fasteners. Tighten fasteners to the specified torque value. Clean and
apply specified high-quality thread-locking agent (e.g. Loctite™) or grease to the fastener threads.
• Whenever replacing a service wear item, also replace any related seals, O-rings, and circlips with new ones.
• When replacing parts that have been damaged due to a crash or impact, be sure to clean and inspect other parts for damage.
Take corrective action before replacing damaged or broken parts.
• Damaged or removed bearings should not be re-used. Install new bearings as a set and use the correct bearing tools.
• Always thoroughly clean all parts and surfaces before assembly. Use a clean, dry shop towel. Do not use automotive spray
chemicals or harsh abrasives to clean; damage to parts, finishes, or decals can result.
• All screws, nuts, bolts, etc. are metric unless noted otherwise.
• Always use the specified high-quality tools, liquids, and lubricants where indicated.
