How to Install a Headset Cover
1. Remove the Top Cap
Begin by loosening the stem bolts and removing the top cap from the headset. Afterwards, gently lift off any spacers above the bearing.
2. Clean the Interface
Next, wipe the top of the headset bearing and the underside of the stem faceplate. This step ensures solid seating and prevents unwanted movement.
3. Fit the Headset Cover
Then, place the Framesandgear headset cover over the bearing stack or stem interface. Ensure proper alignment with the headset’s central axis so the cover sits flush.
4. Reassemble and Torque
Afterwards, replace the spacers and stem. Then, tighten the top cap to preload the bearings according to manufacturer specifications (usually ~1 Nm). Finally, secure the stem bolts to the correct torque value.
5. Final Check
Lastly, rotate the handlebars to confirm smooth bearing operation and verify that the cover remains stable. A short test ride will help ensure that nothing shifts under load.
