Race 370 FAQs
| Will the Ride 415 work with my frame? |
The Race 370 fork has a tapered 1 1/8th"-1.5" (28.6-39mm) steerer with a length of 300 mm. We use this steerer type on all of our forks and 44mm head tubes on all Curve frames. It may work with your frame, but you may have to change your headset or headset bearings to make it work. Please have a professional bicycle mechanic fit your fork.

|
Can I run a Fred Bar?
|
No, the Fred Bar is not safe to use on a carbon steerer.

|
I prefer a very upright riding position, how many spacers can I put under my stem?
|
As with most carbon steerer forks on the market, we do not recommend running more than 30 mm of spacers below the stem (40mm can be approved in certain cases). We also suggest putting a 3-5 mm spacer above the stem to ensure precise compression and ample clearance of your stem cap.

|
What's the weight limit?
|
Our Race 370 fork has been tested to ISO 4210 standards for Road riding, so the maximum allowed system weight (bike, rider & luggage) is 120 kg.

How do I fit the steerer expander plug?
|
The full length of the steerer expander plug should extend past the stack of the stem, so do not leave excess steerer above the stem other than for light riding while dialling in your fit.
The expanding feature of the plug consists of 3 wedges - it is extremely important that the gap between the wedges DO NOT line up with the gap at the back of the stem clamp. Failure to follow this advice can lead to damage to the steerer.
