2. Decrease the tightness of the
expander bolt by two or three turns
(Fig 48).
3. Decrease the tightness of all (4) set
screws by two or three turns (Fig 48).
4. Fold the handlebars back to the
upright position, and close the stem
quick release. This will allow you to
properly align the stem with the front
wheel.
5. With the stem aligned parallel with
the front wheel, apply a clamping
force between the top of the stem
assembly and the fork crown. This
will press the stem down onto the
headset bearings (Fig 49).
6. While applying the clamping force,
tighten all (4) set screws around
the bottom of the stem. This will
temporarily hold the stem in place
until the expander bolt can be
tightened (Fig 48).
2. Twist the handlebar by rotating it
forward or backward. Make sure it
remains in the center of the stem
(Fig. 18 page 30).
3. Tighten the handlebar clamp bolts
on your type of stem: Welded stems:
100-120 lb•in (11.3-13.6 N•m).
Forged Stems: 150-180 lb•in (17-
20.3 N•m).
Stem
Your Montague e-bike comes equipped
with a stem that folds down to create the
smallest folded bike size possible. The
mounting and adjustment of this stem
is unique to Montague. Please read
the instructions below carefully before
attempting to adjust the stem.
To align or adjust the stem:
1. Open the stem quick release, and
begin to fold the handlebars down
(Fig. 36, page 37). This will provide
access to the expander bolt.
