Do you offer a light shock tune for lighter riders?

We do not – We found the leverage curve of our bikes leaves the shock very tunable. We have successfully set up riders from 95 lbs. to well over 230 lbs.

What bash guard/chainring protection can I run on the Rail29?

Any guide or bashguard with ISCG-05 tabs is compatible with the Rail29.

Can I buy an aftermarket fox rear shock for the Rail29?

You can – You will need to order the shock directly from Fox and ensure you purchase the correct tune for our bikes. This is important to maximize how awesome your Revel can be! Fox has a tune guide for our bikes on file. Unfortunately due to our agreement with Fox, you are not able to buy Fox suspension directly from Revel unless is ships on your new bike.

What is the largest water bottle I can run on the Rail29?

22 ounces is the sweet spot – When using a side-loading water bottle cage, our frames fit a standard Revel 22-ounce water bottle. With a hands-free cap, these bottles are the best option around. Insulated bottles or larger sizes will need to be physically tested for clearance. You can also use Fidlock bottles for extra space!

What chainline should I run on the Rail29?

52mm Chainline

What is the largest chainring I can run on the Rail29?

36t Round / 34t Oval

How should I route the cables and hoses under the bottom bracket?

Like this – Our in-house builders prefer to cross the derailleur cable over the rear brake cable. That being said, there is no wrong way; You can run the brake line and derailleur housing to cross under the bottom bracket or not. Just be sure to leave enough slack under the bottom bracket so that the bike can fully cycle through its travel without binding. A good rule of thumb is for the cables to be level with the teeth of your chainring.

Can I buy touch up paint for the Rail29?

Yes, we have touch-up paint for select colorways. But if we don't have exactly what you're looking for, we have found luck using good, old-fashioned nail polish.

Can I run a coil on the Rail29?

Yes, the Rail29 is compatible with coil shocks from most major manufacturers.

Pivot Assembly Overview

»   For detailed view and part information on specific pivots, please download the tech manual.

»   NOTE: Pivot 4 has two different variants of design. Please check your frame for which style you have and follow subsequent instructions.

»   Ensure all bolts are torqued to spec listed in this manual and on bolt head.

»   All bolts are right hand threaded but have hex profiles on their end. If turning the bolt fromt he threaded side, turning counter clockwise will tighten the bolt.

»   Bolts come with Nylock patch installed. This serves the function of thread looker and can be reused for multiplke installations. Verify condition of patch before assembly. If patch looks worn or damaged add Blue Loctite 243.

»   It is easier to tighten linkage assembly to torque once it has been fully assembled. Similarly it is easiest to break bolts free when linkage is fully assembled.
