Due to the front brake hose being internally routed
through the fork´s blade and steerer tube, removing the
fork on Terra OMR requires to disconnect the front brake
caliper hose.
However, it is not necessary to disconnect the front caliper
to cut the fork´s steerer tube to the desired height.
Simply disassemble the ICR01 or OC1 road stem from the
steerer tube and remove the headset spacers (these can
be split in two halves to allow you to remove them without
interfering with the cabling).
With the fork completely inserted into the headtube and
the bike positioned so the fork is horizontally positioned
to avoid debris from falling into the headset, use a steerer
tube cutting guide and a carbon or aluminum specific saw
(depending on the steerer tube material) to cut the steerer
to the desired height. Measure the final height of all com-
ponents before cutting the steerer.
When cutting the steerer tube, be careful not to damage
any components or cables.
The installation or removal of headset spacers does not
require to remove any cables. They are composed of two
halves that allow for easy installation without interfering
with the cabling.
When installing headset spacers (40mm maximum), make
sure that the steerer tube is long enough to allow for a cor-
rect and safe installation of the stem and that the cables
are long enough.

Cutting the fork steerer tube requires ad-
vanced mechanical skills and must by per-
formed by a professional bicycle mechanic.
Never install headset spacers above the
stem. The steerer tube lenght must be set so
no spacers are needed above the stem.
When cutting carbon steerer tubes, make
sure the safety measures are met to avoid
inhaling carbon dust.
