Headset and Fork Installation

1. Apply grease on the bearings (N°3 and 4) and on the bearing seats of the frame. Place the bearings in the frame.
2. Apply grease on the shaft and on the crown of the fork (N°5), and then slide it through the bearings and the head tube.
3. Slide the compression ring (N°2) over the fork shaft.
4. Slide the top cap (N°1) over the compression ring and then setup your stem.
Note: 2 different heights of top caps are delivered with the frame (low=8mm, high=15mm).
Feel free to use the one which matches your position the best.
Note: the fork crown is designed so that the lower bearing can seat directly on it. There is no need to add a metal ring.
