Add or remove headset spacers
•Line up the stem along side of the steerer tube.
•You should have approximately ¼ of an inch from the top of
the fork steerer tube and the top of the stem opening.
•If you have more than a ¼ of an inch, if possible, remove one
or more of the extra headset spacers.
•If you have less than a ¼ of an inch, add one or more headset
spacers.
Note: Headset spacers come in various sizes.
Installing the compression bolt/cap
•Thread the headset compression bolt and cap back into the top
of the fork steerer tube.
•Tighten the compression bolt so that the headset cap makes
contact with the top to the stem.
Adjusting the headset
•Spin the forks and stem to determine how much the headset
needs to be adjusted.
•If the headset has play in it, you’ll need to tighten the
compression bolt/cap. If the headset is too hard to spin, you’ll
need to loosen the compression bolt/cap. You may need to spin
them a few times until you have it adjusted.
•Slightly tighten the pinch bolts but do not fully tighten them
yet.
Note: Do not over-tighten the compression bolt/cap! You can
damage the fork and/or the headset bearings.
