o Pull the fork up so it is properly seated against the bearings and push the stem down to
increase pressure on the headset.
o Place the top cap on top of the stem and carefully tighten the compression bolt until you
feel some resistance when rotating the stem. (Do not over tighten or you will cause the star
nut in the fork steerer tube to come out).
o If properly assembled and tightened, the fork should turn smoothy, but should not shift up
and down relative to the headtube. It should not feel loose or shift front to back or side to
side. (Figure D)
o Once top cap is tightened, align stem and tighten pinch bolts. Please refer to the Detailed
Torque Specifications in section 2.6 below to ensure that the bolts are torqued to the
specified range (Figure E)

clamp should be the same at the top and bottom.
