3. ASSEMBLY
DANGER
Risk of accident caused by damage resulting from add-on parts with sharp edges!
Installing parts with sharp edges can damage the fork.
• Ensure that none of the add-on parts such as the hub or thru axle etc. has sharp edges.
3.1 SHORTENING THE STEERER TUBE
1. Clamp the steerer tube into a saw guide and shorten it with a hand saw.
2. Carefully smooth the inside and outside of the cut edges of the steerer tube with abrasive paper.
3.2 INSTALLING THE FORK IN THE FRAME
1. Clean the stem, parts of the headset and fork.
2. Check the stem:
→ The height of the flange of the discontinuous
clamp area of the stem (A) must be at least
7 mm.
→ The clamp height of the stem must be a
maximum of 45 mm.
→ The stem must not exhibit any sharp edges.
3. Check the bearing cone for damage and sharp
edges.
→ If damage or sharp edges are present, the
cone must not be used.
4. Fit the star fangled nut and headset and their
components (3) as per the manufacturer's
instructions.
5. Push the steerer tube through the head tube.
6. Place the headset parts (3) on the steerer
tube in accordance with the manufacturer's
specifications.
7. Put a spacer (2) with min. 5 mm and max. 30 mm
height onto the steerer tube (4).
8. Place the stem (1) on the steerer tube.
9. We recommend mounting a spacer (2) with at least 5 mm overall height on the stem (1) and
shortening the steerer tube so that it protrudes 2 to 3 mm beyond the stem.
When mounting without a spacer on the stem, the steerer tube should be at least flush with the
top edge of the stem's upper clamping screw (5).
10. Set the play of the headset according to the manufacturer's specifications.
11. Tighten the fixing screws for the stem to the torque specified by the manufacturer.
12. Check to ensure the fork is installed correctly.
