2. Re-Install the fork, spacers, stem, and all headset components into the
headtube (Fig 11).
NOTE: Do not fully tighten the stem clamp bolts or stem cap bolt
at this point.
WARNING: For carbon steerer tubes, do not apply grease
or carbon assembly compound to the interface between the stem
and the steerer tube.

3. Install the handlebar, following manufacturer's instructions.
4. Install the wheel onto the fork and align it to obtain proper clearance
between the tire, fork, and frame. Tighten the quick-release thru-axle
or bolt-on hubs to specifications.
WARNING: Maintain at least 6 mm clearance between the tire,
wheel, and any element of a fork, frame or other component. Improper
clearance can allow objects to become entrapped and cause a crash
resulting in serious injury.
WARNING: Failure to properly adjust the quick release or thru-axle
to secure the wheel can result in serious injury.
5. Align the handlebar perpendicular to the front wheel. Tighten the stem
cap bolt to manufacturer's specifications using a torque wrench and
hex-bit socket. If torque specification are not provided tighten to 1.6 Nm
(15 in-lb).
6. Tighten stem clamp bolts to manufacturer's specifications to complete
the fork installation.
WARNING: Never force a tightened stem to correct stem to fork
misalignment. Always loosen the stem-to-steerer tube bolts first.
Then make the adjustment and re-tighten the bolts to specifications.
WARNING: Failure to properly install handlebar and stem can result
in serious injury.
7. Install and adjust the front brake following the brake manufacturer's
instructions.
WARNING: Failure to properly install and adjust brakes can result
in serious injury.
Routine Fork Inspection
& Ongoing Maintenance
WARNING: Every bicycle component has a finite life. Normal wear and
tear, impact, careless use, and neglect of routine maintenance can cause an
unexpected failure resulting in serious injury. Before each ride, examine your
bicycle for signs of wear, stress, or impact-related damage. If a component
doesn't operate properly or you detect scratches, cracks, bending, fraying,
or discoloration, or notice creaking sounds, have your bicycle inspected
immediately by your dealer.

WARNING: Other than cutting the steerer tube to the proper length,
do not modify the fork in any way.
Modifying the fork could cause fork or other component failure resulting
in serious injury.
HOW TO INSPECT A CARBON COMPONENT
Carbon components should appear glassy or shiny and have a "deep"
appearance. Delaminated areas will appear cloudy or opaque.
Visually inspect your entire bike before every ride. Pay particular attention to
carbon components like the fork and handlebar. Look for any cracks, breaks,
chips, splinters or signs of delamination. If you detect any, do not ride your
bicycle. If you are unsure about the condition of any component on your
bicycle, consult your dealer. Do not ride a bicycle with a damaged component.
WARNING: Any crack, chip, break, splinter, or delamination condition
on a carbon component is serious. Do not ride any bicycle if you detect any
of those conditions. A cracked or damaged component may fail suddenly,
leading to a crash and serious injury.
HOW TO DETECT CARBON DELAMINATION:
Perform a physical inspection: Wipe along the carbon component with
a rag, feeling for bulges, soft or deformed spots, or areas that are no
longer smooth.
Listen for creaking noises: Damaged or deteriorating carbon components
can make creaking noises as they move or are stressed. To locate the source
of a noise, gently tap along the carbon component with a plastic screwdriver
handle. Tapping should cause solid, sharp and consistent sounds.
Locations that produce a dull or muffled sound should be marked
and then inspected by a professional mechanic.
ADDITIONAL INSPECTIONS
Periodically inspect your bicycle components to make sure all bolts are
properly torqued to the manufacturer's specifications.
CLEANING
Clean with soap and water. Dry with a rag.
Using Your New Fork with an Automotive
Fork-Mount Style Bicycle Rack
1. Ensure the bicycle rack clamp is closed tightly to prevent damage to the
dropout or loss of the bike.
2. To remove the bicycle, lift the fork straight up so the dropouts disengage
evenly. Tilting the bicycle off the rack can damage the dropouts (Fig. 12).
