5.10 FORK O-RING
An O-ring is installed between the fork and steerer tube, inside
the frame (see Fig. 5-5). This O-ring slows down the steering
response of the bike. If you want quicker steering, remove the O-
ring. If you want even slower steering a second O-ring can be
installed. Reinstall the O-ring(s) any time the fork is removed.
Grease the O-ring and verify it is correctly positioned during re-
assembly.
