ASSEMBLING THE CAP
Warning: The top cap enables adjustment of the headset bearing assembly. It is not de-
signed to retain the handlebar stem: check that the handlebar stem is tight before using
your cycle. Only use handlebar stems with a clamping surface area of more than 10 squa-
re centimeters. Do not overtighten beyond the manufacturers torque specification.

- Put the special compression ring into position above the handlebar stem. This ring is essen-
tial foR the assembly to operate correctly and also improves the aesthetics (diagram 1).
- Put the adjustment cap into position in the pivot tube of the fork, tighten and loosen the M6
internal screw of the expander as necessary (5 mm Allen key) so that the expander bears sa-
tisfactorily on the walls (diagram 2).
- Hold the cap in contact on the special ring, with the handlebar stem in the desired position.
Screw the expander screw to the recommended torque of 7 to 10 Nm (diagram 3).
- Tighten the cap to a torque of 8 Nm (6 mm Allen key) (diagram 3).
- Tighten the handlebar stem in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

* Warning, if the cap in the compression kit touches the top of the steerer tube, it will no
longer be possible to adjust the bearing tension: always leave the top of the last ring (5
mm high special alloy conical spacer ring) positioned 1 to 2 mm above the fork steerer
tube so that the cap can perform its compression role (see Figure d)
CAUTION: Carbon is a very abrasive material that quickly deteriorates tools. If the pivot tube
is too long, the compression of the headset bearing assembly will be insufficient. The result
will be fast deterioration of the steering assembly. If the tube is too short, the contact sur-
face area between the pivot tube and the handlebar stem will be too small and the handlebar
stem will no longer be gripped optimally. Never use a threaded steerer tube with a headset
assembly for a smooth threadless steerer tube.
CAUTION: Use the cap and compression plug provided with the fork. A star fangled nut can
damage the fork steerer tube and cause a serious accident.
IMPORTANT: Do not grease the steerer tube. Do not tighten the handlebar stem without
first installing the compression plug and cap. Use the LOOK compression kit supplied with
the fork or another kit adapted to a carbon pivot because this kit also reinforces the inside
of the steerer so that it resists internal compression. Only use handlebar stems with a
clamping surface area of at least 10 square centimeters. Do not overtighten beyond the
manufacturer's torque specification.
- Slightly loosen the cap using a 6 mm Allen
key (Diagram 4).
- Unscrew the M6 internal screw of the ex-
pander (5 mm Allen key) until the cap is free
(Diagram 4).
- Remove the cap assembly.
NOTE: After disassembly, apply a grease
film on the cones and the expander thread,
and on the end of the screw.
* To «feel» the clearance, tighten the front
brake and move the front wheel gently
backwards. You will easily feel the play
by holding your hand on the handlebar
and clamping the front brake.
