FORK INSTALLATION White Brothers forks feature a 1-1/8” threadless steer tube. If you have a threaded type fork on your bicycle, consult your dealer for the appropriate upgrade parts necessary to convert to a 1-1/8” threadless steerer tube. 1. Remove your old fork from the bicycle. Measure the diameter and length of your old forks steerer tube to ensure that the White Brothers steerer tube is the correct diameter and sufficient length for the installation. 2. Remove the crown race from your old fork. 3.
TUNING To get the most out of your White Brothers fork, it is important that you tune the fork to fit your weight, riding style and the terrain you ride. INITIAL BREAK-IN PERIOD: Your new fork is designed to break-in over a period of 10 hours or more of riding. As all the parts bed into each other, the stiction (friction) of the fork decreases and the sensitivity increases.
MAINTENANCE Your White Brothers fork requires periodic maintenance to ensure peak performance and long life. Neglecting proper maintenance will reduce the fork’s life. Internal build up of water and dirt or a lack of lubrication will cause excessive wear and void the warranty. BEFORE EVERY RIDE: Visually inspect your fork for bent or broken parts, loss of oil, abnormal sounds or other indications of possible fork failure. Compress you fork to verify proper function.
Basic Fork Reassembly 1. Make sure all the spacers and bottoming bumpers are installed on the control rods (see exploded views for proper installation). With all parts cleaned and reinstalled with new grease, fit the lower assembly over the stanchion tubes and gently rock and slide together until the control rods are touching the bottom of the lower assembly. Thread the compression screws into the control rods starting with the damper side and firmly tighten..
