CARBON STEERER INSTALL ATION
WARNING
The steerer needs to be cut to the correct size.
Use a proper Stem and Headset design during
installation.
We recommend the use of a Syncros Stem and
Headset with the installation of a SCOTT/Syn-
cros Carbon Fork as they are designed to work
together. If you choose to use another manufac-
tures product make sure it is compatible with this
SCOTT/Syncros Carbon Fork. SCOTT assumes no
responsibility for problems resulting from none
SCOTT/Syncros components.
Never use more than 40mm stack height of spac-
ers between headset and stem.
Do not use more than 5mm stack height of spacer
above the stem between the topcap of the head-
set and the stem.
Do use minimum 5mm stack height of spacer
below the stem between the cap of the headset
and the stem.
1- The fork steerer, especially in case of a carbon steerer, must be assembled with the originally
supplied internal expander wedge.
2- NEVER use on carbon fork steerers a standard star flanged nut.
3- When cutting the steerer tube use handtools only. Do not use a power saw or a speed cutter
but use a hand saw with a fine blade for metal cutting.
4- Once the steerer tube is cut to the desired length, be sure to remove all burrs at the top of the
steerer tube. Make sure to wear appropriate safety protection, safety goggles, gloves and
breathing mask. Avoid inhaling the carbon dust.
5- Loosen the Expander bolt slightly with an 6mm Allen Key at (C) so the wedges (D) at the top
and bottom of the Expander moves, (make sure not to over loosen as the Expander will not
tighten when inserted into the steerer).
6- Slide the Expander into the Carbon Steerer until it is flush with the top of the steerer.
7- Tighten the Expander bolt with the 6mm Allen key at (C) to a torque of 8/9Nm pressure, mak-
ing sure that the Expander stays flush to the top of the steerer and doesn't lift slightly.
8- Clamp the stem onto the steering tube with a maximum of 5-7Nm and respect also the max-
imum torque indication of the stem supplier. The lower value indicated on those items has to
be accepted as a maximum torque.
9- Make sure the stem has no sharp edges on the contact area for the steerer or the handle-
bar. This could result in serious accidents. In case you change your stem to another model or
brand please contact your authorized SCOTT/Syncros dealer SCOTT will not be liable in case
a not originally provided SCOTT or Syncros stem is used on the bike assembly. In case of fur-
ther questions please contact your authorized SCOTT/Syncros dealer or the national distrib-
utor of SCOTT/Syncros.
