INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
! !
Ensure that the proper steerer tube has been delivered on your fork. The steerer
tube may need to be cut to length to t your bicycle head tube. If you are not
familiar with this procedure, or do not have the proper tools to cut the steerer
tube, it is recommended that you seek a dealer with a qualied bicycle mechanic
to perform the installation. When cutting a steering column of a fork make sure
to measure twice before cutting; forks cut too short during installation are NOT
covered by the warranty.
USE RECOMMENDED TORQUES AT ALL TIMES! TORQUE SPECS ARE OPTIMIZED
FOR SAFETY AND LIFE OF PRODUCT. THE DORADO FORK USES A SPACER IN THE
LOWER CROWN CLAMP JOINT TO OPTIMIZE CLAMP FORCE. MAKE SURE THESE
ARE IN PLACE! YOU SHOULD SEE EITHER TWO WASHERS IN THE SLOT ON EACH
BOLT OR 1 RECTANGULAR PLATE SPANNING BOTH BOLTS.
BREAK-IN
Your new fork is designed to break-in during your rst few rides (about 20 hours
total riding time). Prior to break-in, you may notice your fork feels tight and
slightly notchy. Following the break-in period, your fork will feel much smoother
and will react to bumps much better than when you rst put it on your bike. After
20 hours, you may want to recheck adjustments (where applicable) to ne-tune
the fork completely.
WHENEVER YOU INSTALL ANY NEW COMPONENT ON YOUR BIKE, MAKE SURE
YOU THOROUGHLY TRY IT OUT CLOSE TO HOME (WITH YOUR HELMET) WHERE
THERE ARE NO OBSTACLES, TRAFFIC OR OVERLY CHALLENGING TERRAIN. MAKE
SURE EVERYTHING IS WORKING PROPERLY BEFORE GOING OFF ON A RIDE OR
TO A RACE.
