Adjusting the stem length
The tube with the handlebar clamp can be slid
inside the stem tube telescopically to adjust
the distance between your legs and the
handlebar. To adjust this distance, loosen the
clamping bolt and slide in or out the handle-
bar clamping tube. Tighten the clamping bolt
with 6–8 Nm.
Danger!
The minimum insertion
depth of the tube is 40 mm (1 5/8 "). In no
case may the rear end of the inserted tube
become visible in the clamping slot

Danger!
Everytime you undo one of
the clamping connections you have to
check the clamping screw. The thread
must not be damaged and the screw must
turn easily. Once a year you have to dis-
mount the screw completely and check it.
In case of damage or deformation you have
to change the clamping screw immediately.
When you refit the screw it has to be lu-
bricated carefully and tightened with the
required tightening torque (see table on
page 72).
In case you tighten the screws too hard, the
clamping may deform and break. When you
bend the screws while tightening they may
break and the clamping can loosen. When you
tighten the screws with an insufficient tighten-
ing torque the clamping does not reach the
necessary strength and this can result in a
twisting of the handlebar or the stem while
riding. All these assembly errors can lead to
dangerous falls!
