It is extremely important that your RockShox suspension fork (fork) is installed correctly by a qualified
bicycle mechanic. improperly installed forks are extremely dangerous and can result in severe
and/or fatal injuries.
1. Remove the existing fork from the bicycle. Measure the RockShox steerer tube against the length
of the existing one as you may need to cut the RockShox steerer tube. If your RockShox fork has a
tapered steerer tube, be sure to leave enough steerer above the taper in order to clamp the stem.
Prior to cutting, consult your stem manufacturer's instructions to determine the length of steerer tube
required to clamp the stem.
aluminum or steel crown-steerer: mark the steerer tube and cut to the proper length.
Dual crown-steerer: mark the steerer tube and cut to the proper length. If using a direct mount stem
make sure 5 mm of steerer tube is exposed above the upper crown and cut to the proper length.
Carbon crown-steerer: the steerer tube must be cut flush with the top of the stem. Apply masking
tape at the cut location to help prevent the carbon from fraying. Use a 28-tooth blade (minimum) and
cut to the proper length. Smooth the entire cut area with 400 grit sand paper.
2. Remove the crown race from the existing fork and install it firmly against the RockShox crown Use a
39.8 mm crown race for 1 1/2" steerer tubes and a 29.9 mm crown race for 1 1/8" steerer tubes.
Do not damage the surface of the carbon crown-steerer when removing and installing the crown
race.

Carbon crown-steerer: install an expansion style plug into the steerer tube. Do not apply more than
11.3 N·m (100 in-lb) of torque to the expansion plug bolt. Do not use star nuts. Torque values may
vary depending on headset design and condition.
Do not add threads to RockShox steerers. The steerer tube crown assembly is a one-time
press fit. Replacement of the assembly must be done to change the length or diameter of the
steerer tube.
Do not remove or replace the steerer tube. This could result in the loss of control of the
bicycle with possible serious and/or fatal injuries.
