SSEMBLY - KP017/
The following procedure should only be completed by a professional bike mechanic.
1. Assemble the fork, headset, spacers, and stem without tightening the stem bolts onto the headtube. When the system is
assembled, the carbon steerer tube should be 2-3 mm below the top stem. All spacers must be located below the stem and
within the maximum stack height as shown. No spacers may be used above the stem.
2. Set-up the compression assembly before inserting it. Adjust the length so that the expander is located at lower stem bolt.
The top cap and the expander end provides critical support to the carbon steerer when tightening the stem bolts. Adjust the
length by threading the top cap on the expander parts.
3. When the assembly is the correct length, insert it into the steerer tube. It is designed to fit snugly inside the steerer. Insert a
5 mm Allen key through the access hole in the TOP CAP and into the EXPANDER BOLT. Tighten the expanding parts by turning
clockwise to 6.8Nm, 5 ftLbs.
4. Now, to set bearing preload, insert a 6mm allen key into the hex shape in the TOP CAP itself. Turn the entire top cap clockwise
to increase preload. Turning it counter-clockwise will decrease the preload. When the headset preload feels correct, turn
the stem to align the handlebar and tighten the stem fork clamp bolts to the torque specified for the stem. Consult the stem
manufacturer’s instructions. The torque values for components are often marked on the part.
