NOTE:
The headset and the stem are already assembled. It is necessary to adjust both parts at the
same time.
1. To adjust the headset or the stem, loosen the side bolts first.
2. Adjust the stem so that it is aligned with the front wheel.
3. Tighten the compression bolt to affix the headset and the fork. If the fork cannot be freely
moved, the bolt needs to be loosened.
WARNING!
Do not tighten the compression bolt too much. Its purpose is to adjust the headset.
The clamp screws affix the headset to the handlebars and the side bolts affix it to the fork.
4. Once the headset is adjusted, tighten both side bolts with 2.5 kg/mm (0.02 N m) torque. Make
sure not to tighten them too much.
WARNING!
Do not tighten too much the screws/bolts that affix the headset to the handlebars and
the fork. It could have detrimental effect on the durability of the stem and the steering abilities of the
bike, which could result in a fall and injury.
STEM AND HANDLEBAR ASSEMBLY (1 BOLT)
1. Affix the stem to the fork:
Thread a washer (5) through the bolt
(4), insert it into the stem (1) and screw on the wedge.
Do not screw the bolt (4) into the wedge (2) for more than 4 turns.
Turn the stem forwards, insert it onto the headset and adjust the
height according to your preferences.
WARNING!
Insert the stem at least to the min. insertion point.
Otherwise, the stem may get damaged and a fall may occur.
Make sure the mark cannot be seen (is under the headset nut).
Slightly tighten the bolt on the stem -
just so the stem won’t slide
into the headset.
2. Securing the handlebars onto the stem:
Slide the handlebars
into the stem, set the stem to be aligned with the front wheel and
secure the clamp bolt.
3. Affixing the brake levers to handlebars:
Release the fixing bolt
on the brake levers.
Shift the grip to the sides if necessary and put the levers onto the
handlebars
– the rear brake lever goes onto the right handlebar.
4. Tighten the stem bolt and the brake fixing bolts:
WARNING!
Be careful not to tighten the bolts too much
– you could
damage the steering mechanism which could result in a fall.
