IMPORTANT CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: RIDING A BIKE IS DANGEROUS. NOT PROPERLY
MAINTAINING OR INSPECTING YOUR BIKE AND ITS
COMPONENTS IS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. IT IS ALSO
DANGEROUS TO NOT READ AND FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.
Thank you for choosing MRP. This owner’s manual is your
reference guide to using and fine-tuning your suspension fork
for optimum performance and comfort. It also provides important
information about the proper maintenance of your fork. Carefully
read this manual before installing your fork. If you need further
assistance, our experienced team is able to advise and assist you
to find the exact set up to meet your personal needs.
The fork is an important part of your mountain bike and
this owner’s manual explains how to install and use it properly.
We recommend that it be installed by a qualified bicycle
mechanic. Improperly installed forks might cause serious harm
to you and may severely damage your mountain bike. Never
take any chances with your safety. Before installing and using
your new fork, carefully read this owner’s manual to learn the
correct installation and adjustment procedures and avoid the
consequences of an incorrect installation or improper adjustment.
When your fork requires an oil change or other internal
maintenance, MRP and experienced suspension service centers
are best qualified to provide the necessary service or repairs.
FORK INSTALLATION
1. Remove your old fork from the bicycle. Measure the diameter and
length of your old fork’s steerer tube to ensure that your new steerer
tube is the correct diameter and sufficient length for the installation.
If your MRP fork has a tapered steerer tube, be sure to leave enough
room above the taper to allow for proper stem installation.
2. Remove the crown race from your old fork.
3. Press the crown race onto your new fork. (See Figure #1)
4. Preassemble the fork on the bike with the headset, stem, and spacers
(optional). Refer to your stem manufacturer’s instructions to determine
how much room is needed to clamp the stem.
5. Mark the steerer tube at the top of the stem. The steerer tube will now
need to be cut to the correct length. Disassemble and cut 3mm (1/8”)
below the mark. Consult your dealer or mechanic if you don’t have the
proper tools to cut the steerer tube.
