insert angle cup
Apply a thin layer of grease to the insides of the
bearing cups and then insert the bearings with the
phase facing the cup. Then put the bearing cups
together with the bearings in the frame. Important:
The markings on the bearing cups must point in
the opposite direction. You can find a detailed
explanation on the back of this manual.
6
mount the fork
Guide the fork from below through the head tube until
the base plate rests against the headset. Hold the fork
in position and guide all other components onto the
fork cone: centering ring, headset cover, spacer, stem.
There must be 1-2 millimeters space between the upper
edge of the steerer tube and the stem to preload the
headset in the next step.
7
adjust headset play
Now place the top cap on the stem, grease the head of
the adjusting screw and turn it clockwise into the star
nut. Tighten the screw only with 1.0 Newton meter. The
stem screws must not be tightened at this point. Now
pull the front brake with one hand. With the other hand
grasp the head tube and the headset cover and move
the bike back and forth. If you can feel play, tighten the
adjusting screw slightly more. Repeat this process until
you can't feel any play. Then align the stem correctly
and tighten it according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
