Owner's guide
Care & maintenance
Built to be rebuilt, not replaced. Look after the Incisor and it returns the favour — dial the install, give it the odd once-over, rinse off the wet stuff.
Mounted, torqued, and on the right side.
01
Installation
Always install with the correct tools and torque values.
Use a suitable thread compound where recommended.
Left and right pedals go on the correct side — check the markings.
Tools you'll need
Preferred: torque the caphead to 2 Nm for precise, repeatable tightening.
Fully stripped on the bench. Every part is serviceable.
02
Maintenance
Periodically check axle tightness and pin security.
Inspect for play, cracks or damage after heavy riding or impacts.
Bearings and bushings are serviceable — maintain them as part of regular bike servicing.
Tools you'll need
Soap, water, a proper dry. That's the lot.
03
Cleaning
Wash with mild soap and water only.
No high-pressure washers directly on bearings or seals.
Dry thoroughly after wet rides.
