TOOLS MPROPERLY INSTALLED FORKS ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND CAN RESULT IN SEVERE INJURIES
1. Remove the existing fork and lower headset race from the bicycle. Measure the length of the fork
steerer tube diameter against the length of the RockShox fork. The RockShox steerer tube may need
cutting to the proper length. On threadless steerers (Aheadset design), make sure there is sufficient
length to properly clamp stem. (Refer to stem manufacturer's instructions.)

POSSIBLE SERIOUS AND OR FATAL INJURIES
2. Install the headset race (Ø 26.4 mm for 1" steerers) firmly against the top of the fork crown. Install the
fork assembly on the bike. Make sure there are sufficient threads to properly lock the headset in place.
On threadless steerers (Aheadset design), make sure there is sufficient length to properly clamp stem
(refer to stem manufacturer's instructions). Adjust the headset so you feel no play or drag.
3. Install the brakes according to the manufacturer's instructions and adjust brake pads properly. Use the
fork only with cantilever-type brakes mounted to the existing mounting posts.
4. On threaded steerers, insert stem to a minimum depth according to CPSC and JIS
standards. The stem must be inserted to a minimum engaging length not less
than 2.5 times the stem diameter from the lowest end of the stem, not the
wedge. (See Fig. 1).
5. Fit a brake cable to the RockShox fork brace mount. Forks with hangerless style
braces were designed for V-type or hydraulic cantilever brakes. Do not use any
cantilever brake other than those intended by the brake manufacturer to work with a
hangerless brace. Do not route the cable through the stem or any other mounts or cable stops! The cable
should make a direct route from the brake lever to the RockShox fork brace mount and be able to freely
move up and down with the suspension movement. It may be necessary to install a whole new cable.
NOTE: T

6. Adjust the front wheel quick release to clear the dropouts counter bore. The quick release nut must be
tightened after the wheel is properly seated into the dropouts counter bore. Make sure four or more
threads are engaged in the quick release nut when it is closed. Orient the quick release lever in front of
and parallel to the lower tube in the locked position.
7. Keep in mind tire clearance as you choose tires. Maximum tire size is 2.2" wide or 335mm radius. Be
sure to check this radius whenever you change tires. To do this, remove the spring stack (as per
instructions on following pages), and compress fork completely to make sure at least 5 mm of clearance
exists between the top of the tire and the bottom of the crown. Exceeding this maximum will cause the
tire to jam against the crown when the forks are fully compressed. The upper tubes must always be fully
engaged in the crown. The upper tubes must not extend above the crown more than 1 mm.
