AND HEADSET SPACER INSTALLATION
Due to the front brake hose being internally routed
through the fork´s blade and steerer tube, removing the
fork on Vibe requires to disconnect the front brake caliper
hose. However, it is not necessary to disconnect the front
caliper to cut the fork´s steerer tube to the desired height.
Simply disassemble the OC1 stem from the steerer tube
and remove the headset spacers (these can be split in two
halves to allow you to remove them without interfering
with the cabling).
With the fork completely inserted into the headtube and
the bike positioned so the fork is horizontally positioned
to avoid debris from falling into the headset, use a steerer
(depending on the steerer tube material) to cut the steerer
ponents before cutting the steerer.
When cutting, be careful not to damage any components
or cables.
The installation or removal of headset spacers does not
require to remove any cables. They are composed of two
halves that allow for easy installation without interfering
with the cabling.
TECHNICAL MANUAL
Cutting the fork steerer tube requires advan-
ced mechanical skills and must by performed
by a professional bicycle mechanic.
Never install headset spacers above the
stem. The steerer tube lenght must be set so
no spacers are needed above the stem.
When installing headset spacers (30mm
maximum), make sure that the steerer tube
is long enough to allow for a correct and
safe installation of the stem and that the
cables are long enough
