New York Porsche friend, Dennis Yee sent me a few photos of the upper steerer tube assembly. This is a nice little piece of engineering but if not removed or assembled property can cause a headache and poor bike performance. The steerer tube cover and parts underneath provide projection for the top of the tube as well as tightens the "V" shaped bracket around the steerer tube. The two conical shaped parts (photo below) face conical side toward each other into the metal ring with the bolt tightening the assembling together (photo below). Place the entire assembly back into the top of the open steerer tube. Then tighten the bolt which expands the rings securing it in place. Dennis has been a fountain of new information during his recent 1998 Porsche Bike FS refurbish!
