Hi all,
New forum member so go easy..
I've just bought a 2009 Plug Freestyler and its come basically unassembled in the box. This is an embarrassing question, but here goes!
Basically I've got round to putting the stem on the headset, but the headset is covered round in cardboard. It looks so neat, almost as if its meant to stay on there, I had a poke under the cardboard and it seemed pretty hollow beneath so I've left well alone just in case.
Question is should i peel off the cardboard round the headset in order to get the stem on?
Thanks in advance for your help, sorry for the question, obviously it doesn't feel right that cardboard should be part of the bike, but you never know!
Cheers
Hamish
