Fig. 6.4
Loosely thread the stem bolts through the faceplate and into the stem body.
Position the handlebar to the desired position.
Gradually torque the upper bolts to spec alternating from the left to right bolt to evenly
increase the torque until the spec is reached (C).
Gradually torque the lower bolts, alternating from the left to right bolt to evenly increase the
torque until the spec is reached (D).
Check the handlebar is installed correctly by rotating the handlebars up and down, then
twisting the handlebars side to side while holding the front wheel. If there is any movement
the stem is not sufficiently tightened and should be re-torqued.
WARNING! Burrs and sharp edges can damage the carbon and alloy surfaces
of the components. Any deep scratches or gouges in the stem or fork can
weaken the components.
CAUTION: All edges of the stem in contact with the steerer tube should be
rounded out to eliminate any stress points.
6.7. TCU / HANDLEBAR
The TCU sits above the top tube and has the potential to be struck by the handlebar or stem
when the handlebar is rotated fully. When assembling the bicycle, make sure to have enough
clearance between the handlebar, stem, and the TCU.
The number of spacers below the stem necessary to clear TCU will depend on several factors.
These include stem model/length/orientation, which TCU version your bicycle is equipped
with, and the head angle adjustment position.
6.8. DROPPER HOUSING GUIDE

6.5
Fig. 6.5
The dropper housing runs down the down tube above the battery and is held in place by
a guide (A) at the motor housing by the bottle cage bolts (B), the guide may come loose
when removing the bottle cage.
Should you want to replace the bottle cage it might be necessary to remove the main
battery from the down tube to align the dropper housing guide with the cage bolt holes.
For more information on removing and replacing the battery see section 10 of this manual.
