Installation (SID Race, SL, XC, and 100)
It is extremely important that your RockShox fork is installed correctly by a qualified technician with proper tools.
Improperly installed forks are extremely dangerous and can result in severe and/or fatal injuries.
1. Remove the existing fork from the bicycle and remove the headset crown race from the fork. Measure the
length of the fork steerer tube against the length of the RockShox steerer. The RockShox steerer tube may
need cutting to the proper length. On threadless steerers (Aheadset design), make sure there is sufficient
length to properly clamp the stem (refer to stem manufacturer's instructions).

2. Install the headset race (29.9 mm for 1-1/8" steerers) firmly against the top of the fork crown. Install the fork
assembly on the bike. On threadless steerers (Aheadset design), make sure there is sufficient length to
properly clamp the stem (refer to stem manufacturer's instructions). Adjust the headset so you feel no play or
drag.
3. Use the fork only with V-type cantilever brakes or hydraulic cantilever brakes mounted to the existing
mounting posts or disc style brakes mounted through the mounting holes provided. Do not use any cantilever
brake other than those intended by the brake manufacturer to work with hangerless style forks. Do not use
drum brakes or disc brakes mounted to the outside of the outer lower tube. The lower tubes are not designed
to sustain the stresses such brakes may place on them.
V V - - t t y y p p e e c c a a n n t t i i l l e e v v e e r r b b r r a a k k e e i i n n s s t t a a l l l l a a t t i i o o n n : : Install the brakes according to your brake manufacturer's instructions
and adjust the brake pads properly. Do not route the cable through the stem or any other mounts or cable
stops. The cable should make a direct route from the brake lever to the brake and be able to move freely up
and down with the suspension movement. It may be necessary to install a new cable.
4. 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 dropouts 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.
5. Keep in mind tire clearance as you choose tires. Maximum tire size is 2.2" wide or 335mm radius. Be sure to
check this radius whenever you change tires. To do this, bleed the air and compress fork c c o o m m p p l l e e t t e e l l y y to make
sure at least 5 mm of clearance exists between the top of the tire and the bottom of the crown. Exceeding this
maximum or not checking tire clearance will cause the tire to jam against the crown when the forks are fully
compressed.
6. Hangerless Reflector Bracket Installation: Orient black reflector bracket to the front of the fork with the 90
degree bend under the fork brace. Place the .040" thick flat washers onto the hex bolt and insert this
assembly through the lowest oval hole in the bracket and through hole in brace. Place star washer and thread
nut onto bolt at back of brace. Torque to 60 in-lb. (6.8 Nm)

Installation (SID XL)
1. Remove the existing fork and lower headset race from the bicycle.
2. Before you install a SID XL on your bicycle, verify that the fork has been supplied with the correct upper
crown. Refer to Fig. 1 for upper crowns available for XL and to maximize fork stiffness by proper selection
and orientation of the upper crown.
3. The steerer tube may need cutting to
proper length. Removal of the upper tubes
is required or the upper tubes will be in
the way when cutting the steerer tube to
proper length. The steerer tube length is
determined by the following parts: upper
crown length, stem height, frame head
tube length and top and bottom headset
stack height (see Fig. 2). To ease in the
assembly, do not install the XL upper
crown on to the upper tubes until the
steerer has been cut to the proper length
and the lower crown has been fastened in
the required position.
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 length, diameter,
or headset type (threaded or
threadless). DO NOT remove or
replace the steerer tube, this could
result in loss of control of the bicycle
with possible serious and/or fatal
injuries.
4. Install the headset race firmly against the
top of the fork crown once the steerer tube
has been cut to proper length.
5. Install the upper tubes into the lower
crown and locate the lower crown so that
180 mm of upper tubes extends above the
lower crown. Before tightening the lower
crown bolts, verify that one lower crown
shim is located between the slot of each
crown clamp. Rotate the lower crown shim to prevent the shim edge from scratching the upper tube. Torque
the lower crown bolts to 90 in-lb. (10 Nm)
The lower crowns must be located with 180 mm of exposed upper tubes above the lower crown
and the lower crown shims must be used with the SID XL lower crown. Failure to follow these
instructions can cause the bottom of the lower crown to hit the front tire, or result in additional
stresses to the upper tubes, resulting in the loss of control of the bicycle with possible serious
and/or fatal injuries.
6. Assemble the headset, upper crown and stem on the bicycle. Adjust the headset so you feel no play or drag.
Complete the installation of the headset and stem according to the manufacturer's instructions. Torque the
upper crown bolts to 90 in-lb.
7. Complete the rest of the SID XL installation by following steps 3 through 7 under "Installation (SID Race, SL,
XC, and 100)."
