New school 'stupid question' time

(1/3) > >>

pickle:
Right i've been playing with the fron rnd of my DK...basically changed the crap tektro caliper to a DC990 on a plate (forks have no lugs) but not happy with the 'tidyness' of the whole thing.

So i picked up some new Blank forks with AD lugs(very cheap as they were black and a tad scratched....£10) so did my own spray job so they are nice and bright white now!!   :daumenhoch:

 
My only query is the whole Giro thing???

I've never set one up or taken one apart??  i know how to fit new forks with a 1 1/8th headtube as i've done it loads of times on my MTB.......but this Giro looks to be a right git!!

Will it all fook up when i undo the bits??  is there a correct way to undo it all so it doesn't go "PING!" and end up everywhere??

zed4130:
its all simple mate  :daumenhoch: no pingy bits   :LolLolLolLol:

pickle:
This is me you're talking about mate!  i'll put it all back together and end up with a tray full of bits left over!!   :2funny:

oberonspacefruit:
its easy pickle,  just loosen all the adjusters so they are screwed right in on the frame, gyro, and brake lever.

slip the round nipples (that are on the end of your top gyro cable) out of the plate.

you should be able to remove the stem/gyro plates in the normal way.

pickle:
cheers mate........when you say loosen ALL the udjusters do you mean just the ones on the top of the Gyro? not the ones underneath on the frame bosses?  that way they will hold the plate down??
