While the images below show a Schwinn Z cycle, this procedure is also applicable for the Schwinn X

Flip the fore/aft adjustment lever up.
2.
Move the handlebars forward until the fore/aft
adjustment lever nut is visible through the hole
on the underside of the handlebar post (Fig. 32

If a torque wrench is not available, please skip to
step 6.

Close the fore/aft adjustment lever, then use
a torque wrench with a 10mm deep socket to
tighten the fore/aft lever adjustment nut to 2-2.5
