- To install the EDC tool in your steerer, remove your old star-nut and thread the top of your steerer tube. This might sound daunting, but we've made it easy to do on your bike, without even removing your fork.
Please watch the video and read all the instructions below before installing the EDC in your fork.
IMPORTANT: Check compatibility before here before threading your fork: oneupcomponents.com/pages/fork-compatibility
if you are uncomfortable with any part of the install process get help from your local bike shop.
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
REMOVE YOUR STAR NUT
1. Put your bike in a stand with the front wheel resting on the floor. If you don't have a bike stand, ensure that your bike is securely supported.
2. Remove your top cap, top cap/headset spacers, stem and handlebar leaving at least 40mm of exposed steerer. This would be a good time to shorten your steerer tube if you have excess length above your stem. We recommend 5-10mm of steerer above the stem.
3. Apply some grease to the inside of your steerer tube to make it easier to pull out your Star Nut
4. Take the OneUp Star Nut Puller (short silver cylinder) and drop it over your steerer tube
5. Using a 5mm hex, tighten the supplied star nut puller bolt to pull the star nut out of your steerer.
6. Your star nut will either pull out as complete piece or the centre portion of the star nut will pull out leaving 2 star shaped pieces still in the steerer tube. If this happens, take a screwdriver and lightly tap one edge of the top star nut until it flips 90 degs and is easy to remove. Repeat for the second piece.
THREAD YOUR STEERER
1. Push a paper towel into the bottom of your steerer to plug the bottom of your fork. This protects your fork seals and stanchions from any aluminum chips created when you thread the steerer.
2. Take the tap (threaded cutter piece) and put it inside the tap guide (long black tube piece), then take an 8mm Hex and push it through the hole in the tap that protrudes through the guide, this becomes your tap handle (think handle for turning a faucet).
3. Grease the inside of the steerer, this makes it easier to cut the threads and will also help catch any falling chips.
4. Place the tap assembly onto your steerer. The tap guide will automatically align the tap.
5. To thread your steerer, turn the tap in the guide using the tap handle. 1/2 turn forward and 1/4 turn back, then repeat.
6. After 4 full turns, pour some chain lube or cutting fluid down one of the channels in your tap, this will make cutting the threads easier. Repeat this again after 8 turns of the tap.
7. When you have threaded the full 8mm, the Tap Handle will bottom out on the guide and you will be unable to turn any further. The guide ensures you only ever tap to the exact depth necessary.
9. Once you've bottomed out the tap, turn the tap handle counter-clockwise until the tap is free.
10. Before removing the tap and guide assembly, wrap a paper towel around the top of your steerer to catch any chips that fall off the tap as you remove it.
11. Hold a plastic bag under the steerer tube to catch any chips or debris. Take another paper towel and push it down through your newly threaded steerer using the 8mm hex. This removes all chips, and pushes out the first towel you used to plug the steerer in Step #2.
12. Reinstall your lower headset spacers and put your stem back on. Do not tighten your stem bolts yet.
INSTALL THE EDC TOP CAP
1. You need a minimum of 5mm of headset spacer above the stem and your steerer tube should be 1-2mm below the top of this spacer.
2.Apply a small amount of grease to your newly cut thread and screw in your new EDC top cap.
3.The Top Cap interface uses a standard cassette lockring tool. You do not need to apply much torque as you are only preloading the bearings. (Your stem pinch bolts are what holds your fork in place). The EDC multitool contains a top cap tightening tool. So even when riding you always have the ability to tighten your headset if need be.
4. Align your stem and tighten your stem bolts to the manufacturers recommended torque.
5. Apply a small amount of grease to the inside of the top cap to allow the EDC tool to slide in easily.
6. The final step is to insert the plastic bung/plug into the bottom of your fork. Turn your 8mm hex sideways and use it to push the plug into the fork by pulling the 8mm towards your chest. This piece holds the bottom of the EDC Tool and stops it from rattling. It also keeps dirt out of your fork and has a small drain hole.
The OneUp EDC Tap Kit includes: A Star Nut Puller, "Go No-Go" Gauge,Tap and Tap Guide. (A Tap is a common cutting tool used to manufacture/cut internal threads)

6 years later, perfect install video. The star nut puller is different and 4 rotations is too many to still have the oil channel but you back it out to expose. No biggie. Thanks so much for making this EASY.
Best video on EDC install on UA-cam. Thank you.
Was looking for a simple and clear installation video, this is perfect thank you!
works great with cane creek helm. Plug also fits
hi i always play your video and its really great im wondering this edc product can fit to.my rockshox judy solo air?
i'm just curious if i can do this on my Boxxer fork?
What is the size of the tap?
Noice! I'm ready to purchase
How do you use the chain breaker bro!!!!!
Once I've made 4 turns , the channels in the tap are no longer visible. Mine seems different to the one in the video where the channels go up to the height of the allen key.
Putting lube down one of the channels does rly contact the steerer tube or cutting threads though....
Just curious, what is the reasoning for the 5mm of spacers above the stem. Is it absolutely critical?
Spacers are recommended above so that the stem is not clamping on the threaded top 8mm of the steerer.
I can put on rock shox Reba, Judy or Recon? All in 2018
Can i put a Starnut later if I want to?
Hi guys! Can you use the threaded carrier without the bottom plug?
I want to install this tool on my gravel bike but it turns out that many gravel forks (including mine) have a big aluminium piece at the crown to strengthen it, so you can't put anything down there as there is no hole. It's a no-go for the threadless option as you lose the ability to preload your bearings, but that shouldn't be a problem for the threaded option right? I imagine that losing the plug may cause some chatter but not much else.
Pretty sure you can. The bottom plug (from what I can figure out) is to help stabilize the multi tool from rattling around
Can this go in every bike?
Hey just wondering does the one up fit in a rockshox xc30 thanks guys
What a genius little helper! Did the headset ever became lose since you installed it?
No its never come loose. EWW world champ Richie Rude runs one on his race bike and has never had any problems either.
@Sam Richards fits the EDC System in a Rock Shox Lyrik ? Thank you so much !
Yes, Lyrik's are, some may not fit CO2 cartridges though. Full compatibility details here - www.oneupcomponents.com/pages/fork-compatibility
Thank you !!!
is it compatible with the Fox 32 F120 FIT RL
Silly question..Once you thread the fork, can you put a star nut back in the steer tube in the future if you decide you dont want the system on your bike anymore? (Ex.to move it to another bike)
If you somehow manage to put it deeper than the thread is it will be okay but who would want a fork with a ruined thread in its steerer?
I would ask you an information, could you tell me how is the thread pitch of the EDC Tap Kit? thanks
That's what I'm trying to find out so I can avoid buying the tap from them. I wish people would put their top up for sales if we could just read use them instead of just one time use
Does this thing come with all necessary tools for install?
No you have to spend like $60 extra dollars
Can you put in on a downhill bike with stem on design?
Probably not as EDC is designed for tapered steerer tubes. Check fork compatibility specs here - www.oneupcomponents.com/pages/fork-compatibility
What fork was used in the video?
Rockshox Yari RC
thanks!
