Composite Front Fork - Giant Propel Advanced SL Disc Series Manual

6 COMPOSITE FRONT FORK

Steering tube
The steering tube of the Propel disc forks are constructed with carbon fiber material for light weight
and optimized stiffness.
Please contact your authorized Giant dealer to modify the steer length to your preference. If you are
a qualified professional mechanic, please follow these instructions:
CAUTION:
1. Always use a quality hacksaw with a fine-
tooth blade when cutting the steer tube. A
poor quality blade could damage the steer
material.
2. Lay the fork on a flat, stable surface. Use
a professional saw guide to help you cut.
Measure twice, cut once!
3. Do not clamp the composite steer with
more than 8Nm of torque. Over-clamping
force could damage the steer tube.
4. A professional saw guide for steer cutting
is must to be used. For example: PARK
TOOL Oversized Adjustable Saw Guide.
Fork structure
Do not file the fork safety tabs or drill any holes in the fork structure.
WARNING: The fork has been designed to optimize performance. Do not modify the fork by
drilling or filing. Any modification will affect the fork structure and damage it. This may result in
serious personal injury or death.
WARNING: Any modification of a frame, fork or components means that the bike no longer
meets our specifications and therefore voids the bike's warranty.
