2. the compression ring

file the black plastic part, with very fine sandpaper.
be careful not to remove a millimeter at once, but I recommend trying.
lay a sheet of sandpaper on a table and file the entire surface at the same time. the support of the headset cap must remain uniform

                                 180 cm
stride length :             83cm
   ?                             30cm
for more details u have to pay  ;)
stem length i ordered 100mm (  i dont even  know how to measure it)

did not test drive I sat on the bike and it felt sporty

!keep in  mind seatpost has MIN and MAX insert i recommend u have to have a look at original sl8 manual!

Haha, that's enough details on lenght :D

I'm 178 by the way, so 52 could still be de more agressive/pro option :)

I’ve taken a few pictures of my bike as a reference. The gaps around the headset look pretty extreme in the photos (angle).

During installation, I didn’t have any issues, especially not with the compression ring (was flat). I tightened the headset bolt very lightly, around 1-2 Nm. The result is that there’s absolutely no play between the frame and fork – I’ve tested it by pulling both brakes and moving the bike back and forth.

The steering also feels smooth and easy, exactly as it should.

Everything "feels" as it should, as if the bike is functioning exactly how it was designed to.
