Instructions (continued)

Next you need to prepare the fork leg clamps. Each of these is made from another "arm clamp", a "clamp holder", a large "hose clip" and a "rubber sleeve".

• Open the "hose clip" and test it against the fork leg to be sure you know which way you want it to fit. It is best to fit it so that the screw is behind the fork leg (to protect it from rain and spray when riding) with the screw head pointing towards the frame of the bike. This way it will still be possible to tighten the screw when the bike's steering is turned.
• When you are happy you know which way the clip will fit, feed it into the protective "rubber sleeve" so that the sleeve comes down over the top edge of the clip. This will prevent the sleeve from trapping any water. The sleeve should be pushed far enough along the clip to touch the screw, which will leave space at the loose end to fit the "clamp holder".
• Thread the loose end of the clip through the slots in the "clamp holder" so that the holder is on the outside of the clip when it is closed.
• Wrap the completed clip around the fork leg, just above the bottom yoke, and feed the loose end into the screw. Tighten the screw enough to hold the completed clamp onto the fork leg, while still allowing you to move it for the final adjustments.
• Finally bolt the "arm clamp" loosely onto the "clamp holder".
