The pack consists of:

  • ACB 40mm - Angular Contact Bearings (FSA SL Alloy TH-073R 1.1/2" 51.8mm 36°x45° MR110R)

Complete with fitting diagram

Removal:

  • To separate the steer hinge clamp (SHC) from the fork steer (FS), fold the handlebar support (HBS) to reveal the preload bolt (PB) in the center of the SHC
  • Undo the bolt and remove it
  • Undo all 4 steerer hinge bolts (SHCB) by 3-4 turns - Do not remove completely to prevent the steerer clamp plate SCP from falling out, then gently twist the SHC and pull upwards to separate it from the fork steerer (FS)

Fitting:

  • Lightly grease all bearings and mating surfaces, before fitting, this includes the headset, the steerer hinge clamp and the head of the bolts
  • You should also grease the inside of the fork steerer
  • Avoid getting grease on the clamping surfaces! 
  • Fit the 40MM headset angular contact bearing ACB on the fork - do not forget to grease!
  • Fit the other angular contact bearing (ACB)  - the 30.2MM in the top cup of the headtube (HT), grease lightly, followed by the headset compression ring (HCR)
  • Insert the fork steerer into the head tube (HT), ensuring that all parts are aligned and seated correctly
  • Fit the steerer clamp ring seal (SCR)
  • Fit the steerer head clamp (SHC) body over the fork steerer (FS); insert and tighten preload the preload bolt (PB) to 3Nm
  • Unfold the handlebar support HBS and align the handlebar to the front wheel
  • Partially tighten the two right steerer clamp hinge bolts SHCB looking towards the front of the bike followed by the two left bolts
  • Check that the handlebar is in alignment with the front wheel
  • This is best out of the stand
  • Tighten the 2 right Steerer head clamp bolts (SHCB) to 4Nm followed by the two left bolts (left and right when looking at the bike)
  • The Correct torque is very important to ensure that the handlebars do not twist in use!!!
  • It is vital that you apply the correct torque. If the bolts are not tightened enough, the handlebars could twist in use, if over-tightened you could  be damaged 
  • Ensure the cables are routed around the non-drive side of the Handlebar support (HBS)
  • Check the position of the handlebar catch!
