FORK INSTALLATION

WARNING!
SR SUNTOUR strongly recommends that your fork is being installed by a trained and quali ed
bicycle mechanic. Special knowledge and tools are essential to install SR SUNTOUR forks.
Common mechanical knowledge may not be su cient to install a SR SUNTOUR suspension
fork. If you intend to install the fork by yourself, the whole job has to be inspected by a
trained and quali ed bicycle mechanic. Please note, that improperly installed forks are
extremely dangerous and can cause damage to the product, serious injuries or even death.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Note! All xing bolts have to be tightened with the proper fasting torque stated by the
manufacturers
1. Remove the existing fork from your bicycle. Afterwards remove the crown race from the
fork.
2. Measure the length of your old fork's steerer tube against the length of the SR SUNTOUR
fork steerer. SR SUNTOUR suspension forks are delivered with a standard steerer tube
length of 255mm. Therefore the steerer tube may need cutting to the proper length.

Make sure your wheels are centered perfect-
ly in order to avoid any contact with your
suspension fork or brake system.
If you are using a quick release system to fas-
ten your wheel set, make sure that all levers
and nuts are adjusted properly. In case you
are using a through axle system, make sure
that all xing bolts are tightened with the
appropriate torque values.
Check the cable length and routing of your
components. Make sure they do not interfe-
re your steering actions.
If you are using re ectors for on-road cyc-
ling, make sure they are clean and properly
installed.
Bounce your bike slightly on the ground
while looking and listening for anything
which might be loose.
