CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
Make sure the upper and lower clamping
slots between faceplate and stem body
are parallel and identical in width. Release
the clamp- ing bolts, if necessary, and
re-tighten them slightly and evenly.
Verify that the upper grip areas of the shift/
brake levers are in horizontal position.
The ends of the drops are then in parallel
to the ground or point slightly downwards.
Use a torque wrench and finish by tighten-
ing the clamping bolts in cross pat- tern.
Do not exceed the maximum tightening
torques!
Check the proper functioning of the gears.
Shift through all gears and make sure the
rear derailleur does not collide with the
spokes when the chain runs on the largest
sprocket.
Adjust the position of the saddle and
handlebars and check that the handle-
bars, grips and seat post are securely
fastened.
Your seat post must go into the frame as
a minimum to as far as underneath the
top tube and up to the MAX marking of the
seat post. (MIN 10cm)
Inflate both tyres to the maximum pres-
sure indicated on the side of the tyres.
R I D E I N S T Y L E
Never ride your FRM if the MAX mark-
ing of the seat post is visible.
Check the reliable fit of all bolts
once again according to the prescribed
tightening torques after 100 to 300 km
(60 to 180 miles)
After completing the assembly and
checks it is essential to give your FRM
a test ride in a level, unfrequented area
(e.g. in a parking lot)! Wrong assembly
or improper adjustments that become
apparent in road traffic or during use of
your bike can make you lose control of
your FRM!
