ASSEMBLY
Assembly on the steerer tube
There is a risk of accident due to sudden unexpected failure of the stem while riding if any
carbon fibers on the stem are damaged during any installation procedure.
−
Before starting work, make sure that the steer tube is compatible with the stem.
−
Remove sharp edges and burrs and any other contamination / grease from the steer tube
before starting assembly.
−
Be particularly attentive to cutting edges of shortened steer tubes and rework the edges
if necessary.
−
Never exceed the max. permissible height of the lower spacers. (fig. 1)
−
Never exceed the max. permissible overlap of the top spacer or stem. (fig. 1)
−
Never exceed the tightening torque of 4N·m under any circumstances when tightening
the top cap adjusting screw. (fig. 2)
−
Never exceed the tightening torque of 4N·m when tightening the clamping screws on the
stem. (fig. 3)
There is a risk of accident due to sudden unexpected loss of control while riding if the stem
slips on the fork steerer.
−
Never apply any lubricant or grease to the steerer tube.
The THM Frontale has to be mounted with carbon assembly paste.
Applying an appropriate carbon assembly paste between the stem clamping area and steerer
tube enables the required tightening torque to be reduced to achieve the same clamping force.
