Ø22 column clips CRG

Summary: Pivotal safety

This clip (or circlips) of Ø22 mm is designed to stay in the specific grooves of the large diameter steering columns. It serves as a mechanical stop to prevent any unwanted vertical movement of the column.

• Locking position: It maintains the spacers and centering rings in place along the axis.

• Reliability: Made of high resistance spring steel, it retains its tension even after several montages / disassemblies.

• Standard CRG : Designed specifically to adapt to the 22 mm outdoor diameter columns, common on the adult chassis of the brand.

- Mounting tutorial: a flawless installation

1. Cleaning the throat: Before installation, make sure the groove on the column is free of frozen grease or debris to allow full clipping.

2. Adapted tool: Use an external circlip clip to open the clip just enough to slide it on the axle. Warning: Do not remove it too much at the risk of deforming it definitively.

3. Visual verification: Once in place, rotate the clip in his throat. If it turns freely but does not go out, it is correctly housed.

4. Safety: Check that the clip has no cracks or tiredness. In competition, a weakened clip can jump under the effect of intense vibrations.

💡 Michel's trick

"In karting, this little clip is what prevents your column from reassembling if the lower nut has just released. The trick: If you have vertical game in your steering column, do not just add washers. My Pro Council: Check that the groove of this 22 mm clip is not mate. If the clip often jumps, change the column because the throat is probably worn. A new clip in an damaged throat is the case assured in full series of turns! "

❓ FAQ SEO (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: Is this clip compatible with the 20 mm columns?

A: No, a 22 mm clip would float on a column of 20 mm and would not fill its abutment role. Alterically use the diameter corresponding to your column.

Q: Should we grease the clip?

A: No, the clip must remain dry in his throat. On the other hand, you can slightly grease the axis of the column above and below to facilitate movement in the plastic holder.

Q: Does a standard hardware clip does the trick?

A: the original clips CRG are tested for torsion and vibration constraints
