1.4 THE STEERING GAME

The steering assembly consists of two bearings and cups placed at each end of the shaft.
The Lapierre controller has two types of steering games, namely the classic steering game
(when the pivot of the fork is held by a nut that allows for adjusting the play in the steering) or
A-head (when the game adjustment is made by the cap located on top of the stem).

During the most intense outings, the steering game is put to the test, and it is possible that this

TEST 1
There are two simple tests to do before starting your outing.

TEST 1 - Front brake tight, try to move the front wheel back and forth, and vice versa. You will notice
immediately the presence of an important game or not.

TEST 2 - Bounce the front wheel of your bike, you will then hear a click only in
presence of a significant game in the direction. Be careful not to take into account background noise, like this one
cables coming hitting the frame or even those rays.

There is yet another way to detect the game in the direction: the front wheel does not rest on the ground,
slowly turn the left handle to the right. The movement will stop hesitantly in position

When you notice play in the steering, act as follows:

For a classic management game.

1- unscrew the lock nut.
2- Tighten the top cup while now adjusting the fork of your bike.
3- Tighten until the game disappears.
4- control the game again in the fork. This last one should be able to rotate with
flexibility.
5- block the lock nut, while holding the upper cup.
6 - Check again the direction, it must remain flexible.

During this adjustment, only use thin wrenches. Attention! Do not use common flat wrenches for

B- For a direction game Ahead.

To adjust an Ahead steering system, a btR key is enough.
1- Unscrew the screws (A) from the stem.
2- then screw the (b)mount into the cap until the play disappears.
3- check that the game in the fork is no longer present. It should be able to rotate smoothly.

1- Adjust your seating position correctly.
Choose an appropriate tire pressure for the weather conditions and the terrain being used.
Refer to the inflation advice indicated on the tires.
