How to Install a fork - Read everything you need in 9 easy steps
This is a short guide how to install a new Bicycle Fork mountain or simply delete the old. Follow these steps and you will receive a new holder for easy installation.
- (1) Remove the top cover stem. It is not necessary to remove the bars.
- (2) Slide the stem to the steerer tube of your fork. Beware gear cables and brakes. Is may set them free. Make sure the fork will not slide down while his mother to the steering tube.
- (3) Now take out the fork. Do not forget to collect all the spacers can be and remember the order and orientation.
- (4) The next step will be a little difficult. You have to remove the crown race of the headset. To do this you can use a special tool, called crown remover of the race, or use a flathead screwdriver and a hammer. Care and patience are your friends.
Congratulations! Removed the old fork. Let's get to the installation of your new fork because it is not can ride a bike without a fork.
- (5) You can cut the steerer fork using your new cutter. Measure the length of the steerer old. The new steerer can be a little more when cut. It is better then cutting too because in this case, you have to buy a new fork and this would worst.
- (6) Install the crown race that has drawn from his old to the new holder holder. Slide the crown race down the steerer your new fork and lightly touches down. You can use a hammer, but again beware.
- (7) You have to install a star nut the new steerer. Just screw a bolt in the locking nut and use a hammer to hit about 3 inches in the head tube. Do not forget to unscrew the screw.
- (8) Now you are ready to slide the holder back on the bike. Replace the handset in the same way to withdraw them. Put some spacer further into it if your head tube is again a little longer than the last. Then slide her mother.
- (9) Now screw screw top cap and screw all the other bolts. Check on the handset to the movement. Hopefully there will be no movement from side to side. If there is a movement as disarmament and try to install the headset again (repeat step (8), with more patience).
