Fitting your Idylle RaRe FCV onto your bike requires care and attention. For your safety, please follow these instructions.
1.1 The steer tube
Before cutting the steer tube, first take some measurements: height of the headset, length of the frame’s head tube, height of
the stem and then add 5 to 10mm.
Calculate the length as below:
Length of the head tube of the frame + height of the h height of the stem + 5 to 10mm.
1.2
Adjusting stanchion position in the crowns
Depending on the bicycle, the position of the fork in the crowns can vary slightly. However, you must maintain the following
measurements to ensure the fork’s function and your security.
The lower crown height ensures the full use of fork travel and tire
clearance. Use the following measurements to set your lower crown
height. This height is measured from the top of the fork leg (the bottom of
the visible part of the dust seal) to the bottom of the lower crown.
27.5’’-wheel model forks: 217mm
CAUTION
This measurement match with a maximum of 705mm tire diameter.
The distance between the top of the upper crown and the top of the
stanchion must be between 0mm and 30mm (B).
Once you have assembled the crowns and adjusted the heights to the
measurements above, you may proceed to the tightening the bolts. USE
THE FOLLOWING BOLT TORQUES.
All crown bolts must be torqued to: 4 - 5 n.m (35 to 44 in-lbs.)
1. Assembly
Caution:
Never attempt to remove or replace the steer tube independently from the lower crown. Modification of the integrated
cown-steerer can cause catastrophic assembly failure.
