Renthal Apex binding - 40mm

The Apex combines all mountain toughness, enduro stiffness and XC lightness. The front panel that closes at 240 ° is what has allowed us to obtain very high levels of structural rigidity and reliability, while minimizing weight. It is available in 4 different lengths, including the extra short of only 31mm! <strong>Follow the indications and tightening torques indicated in the instructions supplied with the attachments,</strong> also listed below.<h2>Correct installation of the faceplate</h2>[video width="1080" height="614" m4v="https://www.riecycle.it/wp-content/uploads/fbc-apex-fitting.m4v"][/video]<div id="tab-fitting" class="iPhoneTab"><h2>Apex bindings assembly</h2>What you need: Torque wrench, 4mm hex wrench, <strong>water resistant grease</strong> .

• Make sure the steerer has a diameter of 28.6mm (1 1/8 ");
• Cut the steerer following the fork manufacturer's instructions so that there are 3mm between the end of the steerer itself and the top of the stem (Fig. 1);
• Make sure that the outer surface of the steerer and the inner surface of the stem are clean and dry.

• Remove all screws, grease the threads and <strong>under the head</strong> (not under the washers). <em>If the screws are not greased correctly, the tightening of the attachment on the tube, by tightening the screws according to the prescribed torque of 5Nm, drastically decreases.</em>
• Insert the steerer in the connection and place any shims. Fit the top cap and tighten the top cap screw as directed by the manufacturer.
• Install the fontalini as shown in the video above, sliding them from the outside towards the center of the handlebar (Fig. 2). The word "zero Gap" must be at the bottom, on the outside (Fig. 3).
