Adjustable Stems
There are various solutions for adjusting the tilt
of the front part of adjustable stems:
Some designs use bolts on the sides of the
joint, others have bolts coming from above or
below, and others again are equipped with
additional locking mechanisms of adjusting
bolts.
For more information see the Assembly
Instructions for your model found on our
website: www.fishaw.com
Stems and handlebars must be tightened to
their specified torques. If you disregard the
prescribed values, the handlebars or stem may
come loose or break. Use a torque wrench and
observe the minimum and maximum torque
values! You will find the prescribed values
directly on the components and/or in the
operating instructions of the component
manufacturers on their respective websites.
The bolted connections of adjustable
stems and handlebars must be tightened to
their specified torque values. If you disregard
the prescribed values, the handlebars or stem
could become loose or break.
Keep in mind that readjusting the position of
the stem changes the position of handlebars,
brake levers and shifters. Readjust these
components, as described in the chapter
Stems for Threadless System
–
Urban/MTB
FiSHAW electric bikes with Aheadset®
headsets, the stem also serves to adjust the
bearing preload. If you change the position of
the stem you must readjust the bearing play
(see the
chapter “The headset”
) and the
instructions of the component manufacturers
on their respective websites.
The vertical setting range is determined by the
intermediate rings, also referred to as spacers.
Unscrew the bolt at the top of the fork steerer
tube which serves to adjust the initial bearing
pressure, remove the Ahead cap and release
the bolts on either side of the stem by up to
three turns. Remove the stem and Spacers
from the fork steerer tube. In doing so keep
hold of both frame and fork to prevent the fork
from slipping off the head tube.
You can determine the handlebar height by the
arrangement of stem and spacers. Slip the
remaining spacers onto the fork steerer tube
above the stem. Adjust the headset, as
descr
ibed in the chapter “The headset”. If you
want to turn the stem around, you must also
release the front bolts securing the handlebars.
If the stem is fitted with a cap, you can simply
take out the handlebars at this point. If it is not
fitted with a cap, you must remove the
handlebar fittings.
Mount the handlebars and, if necessary, the
handlebar fittings, as described in
the chapter
“Adjusting the Tilt of the Handlebars and
Brake Levers”
and/or in the instructions of the
component manufacturers on their respective
websites.
Check whether the handlebars are firmly
seated in the stem by trying to rotate the
handlebars downwards. Verify whether the
handlebar/stem unit can be twisted relative to
the fork. Do this by taking the front wheel
between your knees and trying to twist the
handlebars. If there is movement, carefully
tighten the bolts a little more and check again
for correct fit.
