3.2 SHORTENING AND PREPARING THE STEERER FOR THE ASSEMBLY
Because shortening the steerer essentially depends on the headset and the stem as well as the stem model, it is mandatory to
consult the instruction manual of the headset and that of the stem.
Please take note, that when exchanging the headset and/or the stem, the new installation height can have an effect on the
length of the steerer.
• Disassemble your old fork from the frame.
• Remove the headset crown race from the old fork.
• Measure the steerer length of the old fork and transfer the result onto the steerer of your new DT Swiss fork. Make sure
that the length is measured from the supporting area of the headset crown race on the crown to the top edge of the
steerer.
• Make sure, that the residual clamping area complies with the overall installation height of the stem including a 5mm spacer
above the stem.

3.2.1 SPECIAL PROCEDURE FOR CARBON STEERER
CAUTION
Take special precautions for the safety of your health, especially the skin, eyes and respiratory passages before shortening a
carbon steerer.
For assembling your headset and stem do not use a conventional A-Head-Set Star-Nut. Only use the steerer expander provided
by DT Swiss. For safety reasons the steerer expander must be permanently mounted.
INFORMATION
Take note, that the steerer expander provided by DT Swiss elongates the installation height of the steerer of about 2mm.
