OneUp Components Everyday Carry (EDC) Fork Install Instructions @samrichards6788

Sam Richards To install the EDC tool in your steerer, remove your old star-nut and thread the top of your steerer tube. This might sound daunting, but we've made it easy to do on your bike, without even removing your fork.

Please watch the video and read all the instructions below before installing the EDC in your fork.

IMPORTANT: Check compatibility before here before threading your fork: oneupcomponents.com/pages/fork-compatibility

if you are uncomfortable with any part of the install process get help from your local bike shop.

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS

REMOVE YOUR STAR NUT

1. Put your bike in a stand with the front wheel resting on the floor. If you don't have a bike stand, ensure that your bike is securely supported.

2. Remove your top cap, top cap/headset spacers, stem and handlebar leaving at least 40mm of exposed steerer. This would be a good time to shorten your steerer tube if you have excess length above your stem. We recommend 5-10mm of steerer above the stem.

3. Apply some grease to the inside of your steerer tube to make it easier to pull out your Star Nut

4. Take the OneUp Star Nut Puller (short silver cylinder) and drop it over your steerer tube

5. Using a 5mm hex, tighten the supplied star nut puller bolt to pull the star nut out of your steerer.

6. Your star nut will either pull out as complete piece or the centre portion of the star nut will pull out leaving 2 star shaped pieces still in the steerer tube. If this happens, take a screwdriver and lightly tap one edge of the top star nut until it flips 90 degs and is easy to remove. Repeat for the second piece.

THREAD YOUR STEERER

1. Push a paper towel into the bottom of your steerer to plug the bottom of your fork. This protects your fork seals and stanchions from any aluminum chips created when you thread the steerer.

2. Take the tap (threaded cutter piece) and put it inside the tap guide (long black tube piece), then take an 8mm Hex and push it through the hole in the tap that protrudes through the guide, this becomes your tap handle (think handle for turning a faucet).

3. Grease the inside of the steerer, this makes it easier to cut the threads and will also help catch any falling chips.

4. Place the tap assembly onto your steerer. The tap guide will automatically align the tap.

5. To thread your steerer, turn the tap in the guide using the tap handle. 1/2 turn forward and 1/4 turn back, then repeat.

6. After 4 full turns, pour some chain lube or cutting fluid down one of the channels in your tap, this will make cutting the threads easier. Repeat this again after 8 turns of the tap.

7. When you have threaded the full 8mm, the Tap Handle will bottom out on the guide and you will be unable to turn any further. The guide ensures you only ever tap to the exact depth necessary.

9. Once you've bottomed out the tap, turn the tap handle counter-clockwise until the tap is free.

10. Before removing the tap and guide assembly, wrap a paper towel around the top of your steerer to catch any chips that fall off the tap as you remove it.

11. Hold a plastic bag under the steerer tube to catch any chips or debris. Take another paper towel and push it down through your newly threaded steerer using the 8mm hex. This removes all chips, and pushes out the first towel you used to plug the steerer in Step #2.

12. Reinstall your lower headset spacers and put your stem back on. Do not tighten your stem bolts yet.

INSTALL THE EDC TOP CAP

1. You need a minimum of 5mm of headset spacer above the stem and your steerer tube should be 1-2mm below the top of this spacer.

2.Apply a small amount of grease to your newly cut thread and screw in your new EDC top cap.

3.The Top Cap interface uses a standard cassette lockring tool. You do not need to apply much torque as you are only preloading the bearings. (Your stem pinch bolts are what holds your fork in place). The EDC multitool contains a top cap tightening tool. So even when riding you always have the ability to tighten your headset if need be.

4. Align your stem and tighten your stem bolts to the manufacturers recommended torque.

5. Apply a small amount of grease to the inside of the top cap to allow the EDC tool to slide in easily.

6. The final step is to insert the plastic bung/plug into the bottom of your fork. Turn your 8mm hex sideways and use it to push the plug into the fork by pulling the 8mm towards your chest. This piece holds the bottom of the EDC Tool and stops it from rattling. It also keeps dirt out of your fork and has a small drain hole.

The OneUp EDC Tap Kit includes: A Star Nut Puller, "Go No-Go" Gauge,Tap and Tap Guide. (A Tap is a common cutting tool used to manufacture/cut internal threads)

All compatibility and fit determinations have been made solely by OneUp. Use of this or any other aftermarket product may void any warranty you have with the original part manufacturer.

SWITCH - A quick-change Direct Mount chainring system.

Sam Richards 2017-08-22 | Switch was developed to reduce the cost of replacement chainrings, increase compatibility with new offsets and to make the process of changing a chainring much faster and simpler.

Switch also makes it easier for local bike shops to cover the ever-growing number of chainring standards, without a huge investment in inventory.

Rings can be replaced in less than a minute with only a 4mm allen key, without removing your crank. Simply loosen the bolts 2 turns, unlock the ring by rotating it by 20 degrees and pull it over and off your crank. Reverse these steps to install your new ring. If you plan to ride a trail that you know is steeper than your local trails, you can switch to a smaller ring in the parking lot, in less time than it takes your friend to put on his riding shoes!

A Switch chainring is the same price as our existing direct mount chainrings, but the ring and carrier can be replaced individually at a fraction of the cost.

ALL the Major Mounting Standard, Sizes and Offsets in both Round and Oval (130 Direct Mount Ring Combinations)
5 Direct Mount Standards (SRAM, Race Face, Cannondale, E13 and Hope)
5 Ring Sizes (28-36T)
2 Profiles (Round and Oval)
3 Offsets (Regular, Boost and Super Boost)

EWS Proven
Every EWS World Champion in the last 3 years has pedaled his way to series victory on a OneUp narrow wide chainring.

One Tool
Many of the tools required to remove some cranks aren't part of a basic home tool kit and are definitely not on your multitool. Cannondale, E13 and Hope cranksets all require proprietary tools to replace their chainrings. Swap a Switch chainring with just a 4mm allen key.

Not Another Standard
The two-piece system is the most efficient way to handle the expanding number of chainring standards. It is not a new standard in itself. With quick-change rings and a cheaper replacement cost, Switch has some real benefits over a one-piece chainring. At the same price as our old design, what's not to like?

Local Bike Shops
We're offering discounted Switch Dealer kits in a custom storage case. Your shop can have a replacement direct mount chainring in stock for virtually any walk-in repair. No one wants to miss another ride while waiting for replacement parts.

CRANK STANDARDS
SRAM GXP (Regular / Boost / Super Boost)
SRAM BB30 (Short/Long Spindle)
Race Face Cinch (Regular / Boost / Super Boost)
Cannondale (Regular / Ai / FATCAAD)
E13 (Regular, Boost)
Hope (Regular, Boost)

CHAINLINE
Regular (49mm)
Boost (52mm)
Super Boost (56.5mm)

MATERIAL: 7075-T6
WEIGHT: 78g (32T Boost SRAM GXP Round)

Next time you need a new direct mount ring, make the Switch.
