Tightening your compression

If your bars start to shake or move side to side, this 

means your compression needs to be tightened. 

Do so by removing your handlebars and with your 

6mm Allen Key and insert it into the top of your 

fork as demonstrated. Turning it in a clockwise 

direction, tighten until some pressure is felt in the 

Allen Key. You want to be able to still spin your forks 

freely, however, if over tightened you can restrict 

the movement and damage your compression 

or headset. This should be done by an adult or a 

professional mechanic.
