Congratulations! You have the best in suspension components on your bicycle! This
manual contains important information about the safe operation and maintenance of your
fork. To ensure that your RockShox fork performs properly, we recommend that you have
your fork installed by a qualified bicycle mechanic. We also urge you to follow our
recommendations to help make your riding experience more enjoyable and trouble-free.
I M P O R T A N T
C o n s u m e r S a f e t y I n f o r m a t i o n
1.
The fork on your bicycle is designed for use by a single rider, on mountain trails,
and similar off-road conditions.
2.
Before riding the bicycle, be sure the brakes are properly installed and adjusted. Use
your brakes carefully and learn your brakes' characteristics by practicing your braking
technique in non-emergency circumstances. Hard braking or improper use of the front
brake can cause you to fall. If the brakes are out of adjustment, improperly installed or
are not used properly, the rider could suffer serious and/or fatal injuries.
3.
Your fork may fail in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, any
condition that causes a loss of oil; collision or other activity bending or breaking
the fork's components or parts; and extended periods of non-use. Fork failure
may not be visible. Do not ride the bicycle if you notice bent or broken fork parts,
loss of oil, sounds of excessive topping out, or other indications of a possible fork
failure, such as loss of shock absorbing properties. Instead, take your bike to a
qualified dealer for inspection and repair. In the event of a fork failure, damage to
the bicycle or personal injury may result.
4.
Always use genuine RockShox parts. Use of aftermarket replacement parts voids
the warranty and could cause structural failure to the shock. Structural failure could
result in loss of control of the bicycle with possible serious and/or fatal injuries.
5.
Use extreme caution not to tilt the bicycle to either side when mounting the bicycle
to a carrier by the fork drop-outs (front wheel removed). The fork legs may suffer
structural damage if the bicycle is tilted while the drop-outs are in the carrier.
Make sure the fork is securely fastened down with a quick release. Make sure the
rear wheel is fastened down when using ANY bike carrier that secures the fork's
drop-outs. Not securing the rear can allow the bike's mass to side-load the drop-
outs, causing them to break or crack. If the bicycle tilts or falls out of its carrier, do
not ride the bicycle until the fork is properly examined for possible damage.
Return the fork to your dealer for inspection or call RockShox if there is any
question of possible damage (See the International Distributor List). A fork leg or
drop-out failure could result in loss of control of the bicycle with possible serious
and/or fatal injuries.
6.
Forks designed for use with 'v'-style brakes: only mount cantilever-type brakes
to the existing brake posts. Forks with hangerless style braces are only designed
for 'V'- style 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 front brake cable and/or cable housing through the stem or any
other mounts or cable stops. Do not use a front brake cable leverage device
mounted to the brace. Forks designed for use with disc-style brakes: follow the
brake manufacturer's installation instruction for proper installation and mounting of
the brake caliper.
7. Observe all owner's manual instructions for care and service of this product.
ROCKSHOX FORKS ARE DESIGNED FOR COMPETITIVE OFF-ROAD RIDING AND
DO NOT COME WITH THE PROPER REFLECTORS FOR ON-ROAD USE. YOUR
DEALER SHOULD INSTALL PROPER REFLECTORS TO MEET THE CONSUMER
PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION'S (CPSC) REQUIREMENTS FOR BICYCLE
STANDARDS IF THE FORK IS GOING TO BE USED ON PUBLIC ROADS AT ANY TIME.

It is extremely important that your RockShox fork is installed correctly by a qualified
bicycle mechanic. Improperly installed forks are extremely d d a a n n g g e e r r o o u u s s and can result
in s s e e v v e e r r e e a a n n d d / / o o r r f f a a t t a a l l i i n n j j u u r r i i e e s s .
1.
Remove the existing fork from the bicycle and the crown race from the fork. Measure the length of the
fork steerer tube against the length of the RockShox steerer tube. The RockShox steerer tube may need
cutting to the proper length. Make sure there is sufficient length to clamp the stem (refer to the stem
manufacturer's instructions).
!
W A R N I N G
DO NOT ADD THREADS TO ROCKSHOX THREADLESS STEERERS. THE
STEERER TUBE CROWN ASSEMBLY IS A ONE-TIME PRESS FIT.
REPLACEMENT OF THE ASSEMBLY MUST BE DONE TO CHANGE THE
LENGTH, DIAMETER OR HEADSET TYPE (THREADED OR
THREADLESS).
DO NOT REMOVE OR REPLACE THE STEERER TUBE. THIS COULD
RESULT IN THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE BICYCLE WITH POSSIBLE
SERIOUS AND/OR FATAL INJURIES.
2.
Install the headset crown race (29.9mm for 1 1/8" steerers) firmly against the top of the fork crown.
Install the fork assembly on the bike. Adjust the headset until 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 disc style brakes mounted through the provided mounting holes.
Forks designed for standard quick releases: adjust the front wheel quick release to clear the
4.
dropout's counter bore. The quick release nut must be tightened after the wheel is properly seated into
the dropout's 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. Forks designed for a thru-axle (not available for all forks): follow the installation
instructions that follow for the Maxle Quick Release system
5.
Keep in mind tire clearance as you choose tires. Maximum size is 2.4" wide or 696 mm diameter
installed. Be sure to check this diameter whenever you change tires. To do this, remove air pressure and
compress the 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 maximum tire size will cause the tire to jam against the crown
when the fork is fully compressed.

The SID World Cup is designed for cross-country riding and racing. The one piece carbon crown-
steerer accounts for the unique loads and stresses of mountain bike riding, while providing
vibration damping and ride control unmatched by traditional material technologies.
It is extremely important that your fork is installed correctly by a qualified bicycle mechanic.
Improperly installed forks are extremely dangerous and can result in severe and/or fatal injuries.
For installation, follow the instructions below as well as the instructions in your owner's manual.
1.
The steerer tube must be cut flush with the top of the stem. Apply masking tape to the top of the
steerer tube to help prevent carbon fraying during cutting. Use a minimum 28-tooth blade to cut the
carbon steerer. For safe handling, smooth the cut surface area with 400 grit sand paper.
2.
Install a 2mm spacer above the stem to allow for proper headset adjustment. Do not exceed the 30mm
maximum stack height when installing spacers (Fig. 1).
3.
Do not use star nuts. Use only expansion style plugs such as the one supplied with the fork. Do not
exceed 100 in-lb of torque to the expansion plug bolt. Torque values may vary depending on headset
design and condition.
