Does the star nut have to be removed in order for this to be installed? This will work with any bike that has a 1-1/8" steel threadless steerer right?

I bought the 70 and it's not compatable. I loved the idea and have brand new one sitting in the garage.

The instalation is simple, I am not a expert , but I think that it soros in all bikes that has 1-1/8

Yes the star nut must be removed. Then you need a way to apply preload to the headset. I used a piece of all-thread and some big washers...front wheel and fender( if bike has one) need to be removed. Set the preload with the center out.

The star nut does have to be removed...I just used a broomstick to knock mine down through the tube

You shouldn't require any tools to install as it will self-tighten as you ride, just screw it on to the hub. I suppose you could use a chain-whip if it concerns you. You will, however, need a freewheel tool (probably ACS specific) to remove it.

Hello Laura, The bottom bracket is reverse threaded so it does not come loose when pedaling. As far as the size wrench you need i'm not 100% but you could use a crescent wrench to loosen the nut. We do not manufacturer this bottom bracket so I do not know the exact size mm for the ball bearings. let me know if this info helps you at all. Thank you!

I put this one on a cheaper Huffy mountain bike with a solid straight shaft and a bearing set on either side! It was a great upgrade and worked perfect. Very simple to install and I think it should work on your bike with problem.

it attaches to wheel spoke so it would need to be perfect fit which I doubt. Otherwise it would be dangerous as it could come off wheel. Also handle bar is made for orbit frame so doubt that it would fit.

No, I don't think so. You will need the one half inch for wheel nut removal

Yes, you will need to remove about 1/8" from the leading edge of the butt stock. The forestock does require a longer screw, as it extends a little further than the wooden forestock. The existing screw will work, but you will only catch about 3 thread turns. Longer screw is better.

Also, meant to add that you should remove your stem from steerer tube, not your bars from your stem. That way, when you reassemble you don't lose your fit/bar angle.

No. It will fit standard road bike 1 1/8" threadless steerer. The steerer sleeve on the stem is not adjustable nor does it allow for shims, as it does for the handlebar sleeve.

I had to take my foot and pull the fork's apart about 1 inch. then it fitted perfect. have a man with good might do it for yeah. When they manufactured it, i think this was a check they didn't do. simple fix workout ok for me. I put my feet on the the inner part of the fork and pulled the opposite end with my hands, that bended/ opened the forks enough to fit the tire. Bike forks perfectly fine.

I used the other method of connecting it. To be honest I don't remember seeing a specific nut and bolt for that bar, however there were 4 bolts that came with the set, they do not require nuts. I believe that the mounting hardware is a standard size for bicycles, because it fit perfectly on my raleigh ct400. Maybe try using the bolts that came with the set to mount the bar? otherwise if you are missing the bolts, I would send it back.

I'm using mine with a rode bike, the forks are open on the bottom and go down over the mount and then they are clamped into place. I don't use the skewer to mount the bike. I don't think it will work with your application, but the mfg. would be the best source for your answer.

No nut is needed but make sure you use the 1/4" npt tap and some silicone around the threads.

Yes , once I installed it on both my bikes I have never taken it off! I got two stock skewers for sale, lol!!:)

Hey,The steerer tube is 265mm, which should be plenty long for any setup and will most likely have to be cut to fit your setup. - Worldwide Cyclery

Yes I think the bolt that holds the peg to the mount is 1/2".m I did not measure it but it looks to that size.
