Your NEILPRYDE bicycle or frameset is supplied with the fork uncut. Cutting the fork should only be done by a qualified bicycle mechanic.
The fork should be cut to a length so that is no more than 30mm distance between the top of the headset cover and the underside of the stem clamping structure.
1. Wear a face mask and safety glasses to prevent inhalation of the dust caused by cutting the steerer tube;
2. Use a saw with a suitable blade for cutting carbon (carbon specific blade or a fine tooth blade greater than 32 teeth per inch);
3. Use a cutting guide tool made for fork steerers to ensure the cut is square to the tube;
4. Before cutting wrap the steerer tube with masking tape immediately below the lower final cut mark, this will reduce the amount of fraying of fibres resulting a cleaner cut;
5. Use light pressure on the saw when cutting carbon and do not force the blade to speed up the process;
6. Once the steerer tube is cut, round off the top edge by using fine grit sandpaper, then wipe off excess dust.
Your NEILPRYDE bike is assembled without the grip tape installed. Please consult your dealer to adjust the handlebar angle, brake and shift lever position before installing the grip tape.
Always refer to the torque requirements shown on the stem and/or provided stem manufacturers owner’s manual to ensure that the specified torque is used to install the handlebar.
Always refer to the shift lever manufacturers owner’s manual to ensure that the specified torque is used to install the shift lever.
