INSTALLATION
Installing the BOMBER Z2 fork on a bicycle is a very delicate operation that should be carried out with extreme care. The installation should always
be checked by one of our Technical Service Centers.
WARNING: Steer tube/headset mounting and adjustment must be carried out in compliance with the headset manufacturer’s instructions
either when a threaded steer tube or an “A-Head Set” steer tube is installed. Improper installation may jeopardize the safety of the rider.
The steer tube is interchangeable in Z2 crown as it is secured to the crown by a clamp fastened with two screws. This allows the interchanging
of different diameters by using special reduction bushes. Steer tubes should be changed following installation instructions completely. Be sure
to install correct steer type (A-Head Set or threaded), diameter and length for the frame on which it should be fitted. If necessary check with one
of our Technical Service Centers for proper fit.
WARNING: In case of improper installation of the steer tube into the crown, the rider might lose control of his/her bicycle, thus jeopardizing
his/her safety.
Check the torque of the bolts fastening the stanchions to the crown and attaching the arch to the sliders. For recommended torque settings, see
the table below:
DISC BRAKE SYSTEM ASSEMBLY
Assembling the brake caliper onto the slider is a very delicate operation that should be carried out with extreme care. Improper assembly might
overstress the caliper supports which might break.
This system should be assembled by specialized technicians in a position to fully understand and properly follow the instructions given by the
manufacturer.
ADJUSTMENTS
IMPORTANT: both fork legs should be adjusted on the same position.
To remove the fork legs from the crown, loosen the bolts (32, FIG. A)
and remove the safety ring (1, FIG. A). For easier removal, insert a small
screwdriver between the ring and its seat and then remove the
complete fork legs.
WARNING: Be sure to install the fork legs safety rings when
reassembling, so that the fork legs do not become separated from the
crown even though the bolts have become loose.
