Read the instructions of the stem manufacturer.
DANGER
Danger due to incorrect installation of the fork!
• Only use compatible headsets.
DT Swiss forks either have a straight steerer with a diameter of 28.6 mm (1 1/8“) or a tapered steerer
with a diameter of 39.82 mm (1.5") at the bottom and 28.6 mm (1 1/8“) at the top. Only use a headset
which is compatible with your steerer diameter.
• Only use crown race reducers of the respective headset manufacturer.
• DT Swiss forks are built for a stem clamp without thread. Do not add any holes or threading, nor make
any kind of technical alterations to the fork.
• The steerer or the crown must not be damaged when assembling or using the DT Swiss fork. Special at-
tention must be paid when fitting the headset crown race to the base of the steerer tube. The parts
mounted on the fork must not have sharp edges.
• Do not use cotter style stems.
• The flange of the discontinuous clamp area of the stem must be at least 7 mm high (see following
figure).
DANGER
Danger due to incorrect installation of the headset!
• The max. torque given by the manufacturer of the headset must not be exceeded.
• The DT Swiss steerer expander must be installed when a carbon steerer is used.
• Stem and headset must be installed in accordance with the instructions of the respective manufacturer.
• The adjusting screw of the headset is intended for adjusting the play of the headset. The screw is not
intended for fixing!
• The crown race must not have sharp edges. These edges cause scratches to the steerer and shorten the
lifetime of the fork or induces a breakage of the steerer.
• The fork must not be damaged while installing. Damages shorten the lifetime of the fork and can cause
a breakage.
• If you are using a carbon steerer, only use stems which are released for usage in combination with
carbon steerers.
