Installing the Stem
1. Align the stem and tighten the fixing screws in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer.
Consider the max. torque for carbon steerers!
2. In case the manufacturer of the stem does not specify torques for carbon steerers, proceed as follows:
a) Tighten the fixing screws with a torque of 4 Nm using a torque wrench.
b) Check if the stem is fitting securely on the steerer by jamming the front wheel between your legs and
trying to twist the handlebar.
c) If this is not the case, enhance the torque in steps of 0.5 Nm and alternately tighten the fastening screw
until the stem cannot be twisted anymore.
•
Do not exceed the maximum torque mentioned by the stem manufacturer.
•
The steerer expander delivered with the fork has to be mounted during these operations.
