WARNING: the carbon dust and resin generated during cutting and sanding
is harmful. Do not inhale it!
WARNING: wear gloves, glasses and mask during cutting operation, as the
fibers released can be harmful and cause allergies.
f)
Slip the fork into the headset and insert the supplied expander. Tighten
the expander with a 5 N/m torque max. caution: The torque should be the
minimum to ensure the expander does not slip during the tightening of the top
cap compression bolt.
An unnecessarily high torque creates a detrimental
radial stress on the steerer tube, which in turn could crack and/or shear
without warning. Incorrect assembly of the fork, stem and handlebars
could lead to component failure, serious injuries or death.
g) Insert the stem on the steerer tube, making sure that the height of the steerer
clamp of the stem is less than the length of the expander supplied (43 mm).
Fasten without fully tightening the stem’s steerer clamp bolts. Place the top
cap on the stem and tighten its screw until there is no axial play in the headset.
Ensure the fork and handlebars turn properly, without friction or hindrance.
Tighten the stem steerer clamp bolts following the manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION: The torque to fasten the stem should be the minimum needed
to ensure the stem doesn’t rotate on the steer. An unnecessarily high
torque creates a detrimental radial stress on the steerer tube, which in
turn could crack and/or shear it without warning.
WARNING
: Do not use a stem the height of which exceeds the height of the
supplied expander. Do not use excessive number of spacers up the stem. Use
many spacers on the above part in order to match the stem clamp with the
expander position. (See Picture)
