The front brake housing must always pass through the front slot of the
compression ring.

The rear brake housing must always pass through the side slot of the
compression ring that matches the rear brake lever side. The brake housings
must not cross each other.
„
MECHANICAL: The front and rear shift housings can go through either side
slot of the compression ring. Choose the side based on if you plan to cross the
housings under the stem before entering the handlebar or not.

ELECTRONIC: The wire goes on the opposite side of the rear brake housing.
„
The aero spacers require the use of the lower and upper transition at all times.

The lower transition has two pins that key into two holes in the
compression ring. Make sure they are aligned and keyed in.

The spacers are split so they can be installed or removed to adjust stack
height without removing the housings and wires.
To engage the clip, install the spacer on the steerer tube, then vertically slide
the clip together.
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.
