Missing your steering nut? We’re working on it. Once we get a verified replacement part I’ll link it here. Contact Us if you want to be notified when we figure it out or if you have a suggested non-tao replacement part.
If you didn’t check your suspension when building your bike, then you may have missed adjusting your forks to the proper height. This will result in you thinking your kickstand is too long and your bike sits up too straight. Simple fix, grab your 10mm wrench and a jack and you can be done in 5 minutes:
Fork Oil change:
We are all convinced what ships inside of the forks is not fork oil. Replacing should improve you fork rebound and ride. It’s a cheap and relatively easy process assuming you have a 6mm allen key and an oil pan.
Tools needed: 6mm Allen key, 17mm socket (with extensions), measuring cup, floor jack/bike stand, Fork oil (recommended is maxima or Belray – 10W or 15W), oil drain pan (or something to transport the used oil for disposal), and plumbers thread tape
Skill level: Easy
For this, you’ll simply need to drain the fork oil, dispose of it, replace the bolts with thread tape, refill the oil, and go.
Thanks to 3 Pedal Devils as he has some great videos out there on the TBR7.
Wheel Bearings:
Front wheel bearings shot? They are junk from the factory and if you didn’t grease them well then you can get some bad symptoms. They’re annoying to change but not difficult:
Connor has done it again and got some legitimate steering stem nuts produced. This has been a common issue due to them not being torqued or Loctite. If you need one click the image to go to the 3PD shop. Don’t forget to pick a 30mm socket to torque this thing down!
