It is extremely important that your RockShox fork is installed correctly by a qualified
bicycle mechanic. Improperly installed forks are extremely dangerous and can result
in severe and/or fata l i n j u r i e s .
1. Remove the existing fork from the bicycle and the crown race from the fork. Measure the length of the
fork steerer tube against the length of the RockShox steerer tube. The RockShox steerer tube may need
cutting to the proper length. Make sure there is sufficient length to clamp the stem (refer to the stem
manufacturer's instructions).
!
DO NOT ADD THREADS TO ROCKSHOX THREADLESS STEERERS. THE
STEERER TUBE CROWN ASSEMBLY IS A ONE-TIME PRESS FIT.
REPLACEMENT OF THE ASSEMBLY MUST BE DONE TO CHANGE THE
LENGTH, DIAMETER OR HEADSET TYPE (THREADED OR
THREADLESS).
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.
2. Install the headset crown race (29.9mm for 1 1/8" steerers) firmly against the top of the fork crown.
Install the fork assembly on the bike. Adjust the headset until you feel no play or drag.
3. Install the brakes according to the manufacturer's instructions and adjust brake pads properly. Use the
fork only with disc style brakes mounted through the provided mounting holes. Do not use any
cantilever brake other than those intended by the brake manufacturer to work with a hangerless brace.
4. Forks designed for standard quick releases: adjust the front wheel quick release to clear the
dropout's counter bore. The quick release nut must be tightened after the wheel is properly seated into
the dropout's counter bore. Make sure four or more threads are engaged in the quick release nut when
it is closed. Orient the quick release lever in front of and parallel to the lower tube in the locked
position. Forks designed for a thru-axle (not available for all forks): follow the installation
instructions that follow for the Maxle Quick Release system
Keep in mind tire clearance as you choose tires. Maximum size is:
5.
Be sure to check this diameter whenever you change tires. To do this, remove air pressure and compress the
fork completely to make sure at least 5 mm of clearance exists between the top of the tire and the bottom
of the crown. Exceeding maximum tire size will cause the tire to jam against the crown when the fork is
fully compressed.
