The World Cup is designed for cross-country riding and racing. The one piece carbon crown-steerer
accounts for the unique loads and stresses of mountain bike riding, while providing vibration
damping and ride control unmatched by traditional material technologies.
It is extremely important that your fork is installed correctly by a qualified bicycle mechanic.
Improperly installed forks are extremely dangerous and can result in severe and/or fatal injuries.
For installation, follow the instructions below as well as the instructions in your owner's manual.
1. The steerer tube must be cut flush with the top of the stem. Apply masking tape to the top of the
steerer tube to help prevent carbon fraying during cutting. Use a minimum 28-tooth blade to cut the
carbon steerer. For safe handling, smooth the cut surface area with 400 grit sand paper.
2. Install a 2mm spacer above the stem to allow for proper headset adjustment Do not exceed the 30mm
maximum stack height when installing spacers (Fig. 1).
3. Do not use star nuts. Use only expansion style plugs such as the one supplied with the fork. Do not
exceed 100 in-lb of torque to the expansion plug bolt. Torque values may vary depending on headset
design and condition.
4. To prevent damage to the carbon crown-steerer, a qualified technician should take care when installing
or removing the crown race.
5. Remove any burrs from the stem stem clamp edges before installation on the carbon crown-steerer. Do
not use a hammer to install your stem.
6. Follow the stem manufacturer's torque specifications when installing a stem. Exceeding the torque
specifications may damage the carbon crown-steerer and reduce the strength of the fork. Cotter style
stems are not recommended as the small surface area may cause damage, especially when overtorqued.
7. Do not let brake or derailleur cables rest on, or be attached to the crown. Abrasion over time may cause
damage to the crown. If contact is unavoidable, use tape or similar protection to cover the surface.
