INSTRUCTIONS.

We recommend that it be installed by a qualified bicycle
mechanic. Improperly installed forks might cause serious harm

maintenance, MRP and experienced suspension service centers
are best qualified to provide the necessary service or repairs.

FORK INSTALLATION
Dual-crown forks like the Bartlett are a little more difficult to install
compared to single-crown models. For this reason, if you are unsure
about any part of this procedure, consult a bike shop.
1. If applicable, remove your old fork from the bicycle. Measure the
length of your old fork’s steerer tube to ensure that the Bartlett’s steerer
tube is of sufficient length for the installation.
2. Remove the crown race from your old fork (if applicable).
3. Press the crown race onto the Bartlett’s steerer tube.
4. Preassemble the headset by sliding the fork steerer tube through
the bearings. You may do this with or without the stanchions clamped
in the lower crown. Then install the headset’s upper race and other
