Correctly installed
handle‐stem. view from
side.
The hinge at the
base of the handle stem
(3)
of the Libelle and
Tirol is at a 40 degree

This makes it
possible to fold the stem
down nicely to the side
of the bike (Figure QF3).
Use
the top quick‐
release (1) to adjust the
handle‐stem height by a
couple of cm. Use the
bottom quick release (3)
to securely hold the
stem in an upright, non‐
folded
position.
Minimum insertion
mark (14) must not be
visible.
