Salsa Flip Chip 2.0 Service Kit

This kit is specifically designed for Salsa frames utilizing the Split Pivot suspension system that feature the Flip Chip 2.0 hardware. Check your bike's specific model year and frame specifications on the Salsa website to confirm if your linkage uses this exact hardware version.
