if you are new to bikes:
yes, you just flip it over. but before you do this, unscrew the bolt holding the cap onto the stem.
usually a 5mm allen. take the bolt and cap off. then unscrew the bolts in hte stem. while you do
this, hold on to the fork or it will just fall out the bottom of the steerer. when it is loose flip
it over, put the cap and bolt back in, and screw down the cap just enough so that you dont feel any
play at all in the fork/headtube. feel for this easily by putting the front brake on and rocking the
bike on the floor, or by whatever means you feel best with. you should not feel any grating, and the
headset should feel as smooth as it did before. then, and only then, you tighten the stem bolts.
