CUTTING THE ORCA OMR FORK STEERER TUBE
AND HEADSET SPACER INSTALLATION
Due to the front brake hose being internally routed
through the fork´s blade and steerer tube, removing the
fork on Orca OMR requires to disconnect the front brake
caliper hose.
Simply disassemble the ICR01 OR OC1 stems 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
(depending on the steerer tube material) to cut the steerer
ponents before cutting the steerer tube.
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 max-
imum), make sure that the steerer tube is long
enough to allow for a correct and safe installation
of the stem and that the cables are long enough.
Cutting the fork steerer tube requires advanced
mechanical skills and must by performed 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.
