9.3.2. Mounting Forks with CRP Steerer Tube from the
STEVENS Frameset
The cutting of the steerer tube, the press fitting of the crown race and
the mounting of the fork into the frame are jobs for a mechanic. Have
this work done by an authorized dealer. An unauthorized mounting and
maintenance will render the warranty void. Be sure to strictly observe
each of the following instructions. Non-observance of these instructions
can result in a fork failure and lead to a crash with serious consequences.
Be sure to use exclusively the cone mechanism supplied together with
the bolt and the cap as counter bearing for the adjusting bolt of the
headset. Do not use a star nuts and clamp mechanisms which are not
flush, they can damage the steerer tube.
few millimetres above the upper edge of the stem; it is therefore too
tight and damaged! Mount a spacer which is free of burrs above the
stem to enlarge the surface,
STEVENS carbon steerer tubes are manufactured with fine tolerances.
For this reason the stems normally fit snugly on the fork steerer tube.
Do not mount stems that have play on the fork steerer.
Do not apply any grease or oil on the fork steerer tube in the stem
clamping area! Use special carbon assembly paste to increase the
clamping force.
Adjust the headset, as described in chapter The Headset“.
If you have strictly followed the above instructions, you will not need
high torque values for the clamping bolts. The recommended torque
value is 4 - 5 Nm depending on the stem type. Use a torque wrench and
approach this value gradually in steps (0.5 Nm increments). Check the
tight fit of the stem relative to the fork by trying to turn the handlebars
relative to the front wheel.
Carbon and Framesets
Be sure to only use stems with symmetrical outer clamping, i.e. the
clamping should be provided over the entire circumferential surface.
Stems which are clamped in an asymmetrical way can damage the
steerer tube.
The stem clamping area must be free of burrs and the fork steerer must
have enough support inside the stem. Stems with many recesses in the
clamping area or with a recess in the clamping area pointing towards
the stem are not suitable. The steerer tube possibly comes out only a
If there is no extra long nut delivered with the fork, use the sleeve nut
supplied by the brake manufacturer for brake mounting. Make sure the
nut has a minimum grip of 8 turns at least!
Danger:
Observe the catches at the
drop-outs and do not remove
them. These catches are
designed to prevent the front
wheel from loosing in case the
quick-release fails.
Danger:
Do not use a star nut as coun-
ter bearing or a stem system
without counter bearing
(expander cone design).
Note:
We recommend that you
use stems that are especially
designed for carbon steerer
tubes, e.g. from Oxygen or
Deda.
