It is not necessary for a genuine fork to be fitted, provided that any substitute fork is of the same length
as the intended fork (see Annex A) and it is correctly installed in the steering-head bearings. For a
suspension fork, lock it at a length equivalent to that with an 80 kg (in case of young adult bicycles, apply
40 kg) rider seated on the bicycle either by adjusting the spring/damper or by external means.
