Thread the Tower Stud into the fork, with the etchings facing up
and the wrench flat threaded down against the top of the fork (with the
Allen key hole facing down). The top of the Tower Stud must NOT have
an Allen key hole on it.
USE EITHER A 4MM
ALLEN KEY AND
TORQUE FROM BELOW,
OR USE AN 8MM OPEN
WRENCH AT THE BASE
OF THE TOWER STUD

Fig.4: The Tower Studs can be tightened either with a 4mm
Hex key from underneath the upper fork bridge, or with an
8mm open wrench from the upper side.
CAUTION (fig.4): When tightening the Tower Studs with an
8mm open wrench, avoid contact between the wrench and the
carbon lip at the top of the fork tower. Contact between the
wrench and the lip may cause damage.
When threading the Tower Stud into the upper fork bridge, the
threads will have significant resistance during the threading
process. This resistance is normal. Install the Tower Studs
until the flanges are fully seated against the fork and torqued
to specification. If the flange will not seat against the fork,
remove the stud, clean the threads, ensure proper orientation
and reinstall the stud.
WARNING! Tower Studs need to be properly oriented, inserted,
and torqued as described and illustrated above.
Each Tower Stud is etched with the millimeter length and the
word “UP” with an arrow. The Tower Stud must be positioned
so the wording is right side up and the arrow points up.
Make sure the Tower Studs are properly aligned when
threading into the fork.
The bolts must be threaded all the way down until the flange
rests against the top of the fork, then torqued to specification.

Stud length (see Spacer Stack/Tower Stud table).
