How the fuck do I install my FrenchID compression!?

[JohanGrunwald]

Hey.
I just got my new FrenchID front fork, headset, FrenchID compression and this is the first time I'm going to ride threadless.
I have some problems about installing my compression system in my wee bars. Taking the oversized starnut in to the fork seems to complicated, and I tried swagging it really hard into the bar, but without luck. Can anyone give me a tutorial in steps, on how to install my compression system in my wee bars?
Thanks on forhand
Johan

Read the directions?

Fitting Instructions:

1. Insert the large star nut into the handlebars from the bottom, entering the angled edge of the star nut first.
2. Continue to push the star nut up through the bars until there is approximately 5 -10mm of clearance between the star nut and the top of the fork steerer when assembled.
3. Screw the aluminium tube onto the short threaded section of the main bar until it stops. Gently nip this up but do not over tighten.
4. Insert the steel bolt into the fork cap and screw this assembly into the aluminium tube. Again, apply enough torque to ensure the parts stay located together but do not over tighten.
5. Assemble the bars and forks onto the scooter, inserting the main compression kit assembly up inside the steerer of the forks from the bottom.
6. Screw the main bar assembly into the star nut by hand, then, using the steel bolt located underneath the forks, gently tighten the whole system until the headset has no play in the bearings (maximum torque: 5Nm). Once again excessive force is not required, the compression kit's function is only to pre-load the bearings and remove play, not as a structural device.

Please Note: Damage to the compression kit due to incorrect fitting will not be covered under warranty.

And look at the SR inverted compression system install notes.

Ok thanks man. The thing is just, that the large starnut is too big. And when I'm trying to swag it into the bars, nothing happends

It has to bend into the bars. Hammer it in and use something like a socket (socket wrench socket) to hit it in with.

It works! I did it. Thanks man. Now I can ride.
