Adjusting the handlebars
Above Seat steering
Your Street Machine Gt with above seat steer-
ing is equipped with a height adjustable and
foldable stem. It comes with the Glideflex fold-
ing pivot from T
ERRACYCLE
.
Height adjustment of the handlebars
The stem is height adjustable by telescopically
sliding the stem extension on the lower part.
Loosen the clamping screw of the clamp at the
lower end of stem extension. Move the stem
extension to the desired position.Align the
stem extension parallel to the front wheel, so
that the handlebars are perpendicular to the
front wheel.Tighten the clamping screw with
4–6 Nm.
Angle adjustment of the folding stem
The Glideflex unit is equipped with a backstop
adjustment screw close to the pivot axle.To
adjust the backstop, fold the stem forward and
turn the backstop screw in or out with a 4
mm allen wrench.Turning the bolt in (clock-
wise) allows the handlebars to fold further
back; turning the bolt out stops the handlebars
from going as far back.
Danger!
The stem extension must not be
positioned higher than the „max“ mark on
the lower stem part. In no case may the end
of the lower stem half become visible in the
slot of the stem extension.The clamp must
be positioned tightly to the lower end of the
stem extension.The clamping slot of the
clamp must be aligned to the slot in the
stem extension.
Caution!
Do not turn the screw so far out
that it contacts the top of the stem when it
is folded back.The bolt must contact the
sloping surface.
Adjusting the folding friction
To adjust the folding friction, tighten or loosen
the pivot bolt with a 5 mm allen wrench.
Tightening the bolt will increase friction; loos-
ening will decrease friction.
The friction adjustment should not need fre-
quent readjustment in normal use. Sometimes,
rain will cause the friction to drop slightly, but
things should go back to normal when dried
out.
Danger!
Do not loosen the bolt past the
minimum friction point. If you do, retighten
the bolt until you can feel the friction in-
crease.The bolt must be secured with Loctite.
