INTEGRATED HEADSET INSTRUCTIONS
With 8mm allen key, adjust Head Doctor (items 12 to
16) until a slide fit inside steerer and insert it 10mm
into steerer.
Tighten until solid in steerer.
4/ FINAL ASSEMBLY :
Liberally apply good quality waterproof grease to all
bearings (4) and sealing surfaces. When fitting ensure
that the top seal (6) is fitted correctly.
Insert forks into frame.
Over the steerer, fit upper taper ring (5), shims (8) if
necessary, sealing cover (6) and top cover (7) with
o’ring (9). You may have to stack several 0.4mm shims
(8) to reduce the drag of the top seal (6).
Fit stem and top cap (10). Tighten bolt (11) in top cap
until forks rotate smoothly without play or restriction.
Clamp stem to manufacturer recommended torque.
The headset may need adjustment after the first few
rides, this is normal due to the settling of the compo-
nents.
