Install the front end (fork, headset, headset spacers, stem, handlebar, wheels) on the frame
then determine the rider’s fit. Do not install more than 35 mm of spacers between the stem
and the headset cover (fig. 2).
Trim the steerer tube so the final cut is 3 mm below the top of the stem (or 3 mm below the
top of the spacer if a 5 mm spacer is used).
Install the steerer tube expander plug. Using a 6 mm Hex key, torque the plug to 45 in-lbf /
5.1 Nm.
When installing the headset for the final assembly, grease the bearings and compression
ring.
Install the headset cover, spacers and stem, followed by the top cap and bolt. Using a 4
mm Hex key, torque the bolt to 44 in-lbf / 5.0 Nm.
Once the bike is fully assembled, adjust the headset, using the front brake to determine if
there’s any headset looseness.
Make sure to determine the appropriate rider stem height before cutting the
steerer tube. Ideally, the steerer tube should be cut 3 mm below the top of the
stem. Alternatively, one optional 5mm solid spacer may be placed above the
stem (fig. 2). In that case, the steerer tube should be cut 3 mm below the 5
mm solid spacer.
WARNING! The stem must be fully supported by the expander plug. Do not
place more than one 5mm solid spacer above the stem. In addition, the
combined height between the stem and optional 5mm spacer (from bottom
of stem to top cap) must not exceed 45mm. This is important if the originally
equipped stem is changed with an aftermarket one. Exceeding 45mm or
placing more than one 5mm solid spacer above the stem may cause the stem
to crush the steerer tube which may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! The CruX comes with one 5 mm solid spacer and 35 mm of
scalloped spacers. Only the solid spacer should be used above the stem. The
scalloped spacers should only be used below the stem, i.e. between the stem
and the headset cover.
WARNING! Do not apply grease or carbon assembly compound (carbon paste)
between the stem and the steerer tube, and do not twist the stem onto the
steerer tube. This can result in damage to the composite surface, which may
result in a catastrophic failure of the fork, resulting in serious personal injury
or death.
