MANUFACTURER.
FORK INSTALLATION
White Brothers Rock Solid forks feature a 1.125” threadless aluminum steer
tube. Do not add threads to your White Brothers steerer tube.
1. Remove your old fork from the bicycle. Measure the diameter and length of your
old forks steerer tube to ensure that your new White Brothers steerer tube is the cor-
rect diameter and sucient length for the installation.
2. Remove the crown race from your old fork.
3. Press the crown race onto your new White Brothers fork. (See Figure #1)
4. Preassemble the fork on the bike with the headset, stem, and spacers (optional).
Refer to your stem manufacturer’s instructions to determine how much room is
needed to clamp the stem.
5. Mark the steerer tube at the top of the stem. e steerer tube will now need to be
cut to the correct length. Disassemble and cut 3mm (1/8”) below the mark. Consult
your dealer or mechanic if you don’t have the proper tools to cut the steer tube.
6. e star fangled nut must now be installed into the steer tube. If you don’t have the
set tool, we recommend dealer installation of this part. (See Figure #3)
7. Clean and grease all headset bearings and races to prepare them for assembly.
Note: Replace the bearings if there is any sign of wear or corrosion.
8. Now loosely assemble the headset, stem and handle bars as done in step four.
9. Install the headset according to the manufacturer’s instructions until there is no
play and the fork turns smoothly.
10. Install your front brake and adjust according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
11. Install the wheel on the fork and tighten the skewer the manufacturer’s specica-
tion.
12. Check to see that the brakes are adjusted and properly working. Make sure that
the brake cable does not interfere with any part of the bike and is secured to the fork
leg.
