Help! Trek Speed Concept Fork Removal
Quote | Reply
Speed Concept 9.0 2011 fork removal. I've removed all the bolts but the steering rod will not slide all the way out. The fork is getting caught on the lip of the frame preventing the rod from sliding all the way out. Any tips, at this point would be more than appreciated.

Try finding "The Official Speed Concept Owner's Thread" and replying to Carl. He'll chime in lickety-split once he's aware of the issue you're having.

I had the same problem. My solution was taking the lower bearings out as the fork comes off. Gives a little additional clearance.

You have to pull the bearing as Chris describes. The fork can't be removed or installed with the bearing seated in the frame.

When you re-install the fork, put the lower bearing in place on the fork first.
