1.4. Disc brake installation
The Deville disc bolt pattern uses caliper mount for post mount 160 (PM160).
To assemble the disc brakes, check the following procedure:
1. Install the DH disc brake system, according to disc brake manufacturer's specifications.
2. Be sure to torque all fasteners and bolts to manufacturer's recommendations. Consult the instructions that
came with your disc brakes for proper installation procedures. It is recommended to install a NEW disc
brake pads, to ensure proper alignment and to minimize drag.
3. Route the disc brake hose (for hydraulic disc brakes) or brake cable housing (for mechanical disc brakes)
from the caliper to the inside of the lower leg and through the supplied disc brake hose guide.
4. Tighten the disc brake hose guide screw (M3 x 12) with a 2.5 mm-hex key wrench, and torque it to 1 N.m.
5. Test the brakes for proper operation on level ground before hitting the trails.
The disc brake caliper mounting bolts must have 10 mm of thread engagement with the fork.
In any case, the disc brake caliper mounting bolt tightening torque level must never exceed 10 N.m.
2.1. AIR SPRING
The sag measurement is the amount that your fork, rear shock, or both will compress when you are positioned for
riding on your bike, with all your riding apparel and gear. Adjusting air pressure until you achieve your target sag will
help you to determine the appropriate amount of air pressure for your fork or shock, or both.
To achieve the best performance from your BOS suspension product, the proper measuring and setting of sag is
vitally important. As a starting point, set sag for your fork or rear shock according to the following instructions:
