THREADLESS HEADSETS AND CLAMP-ON STEMS ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE.
THE STEM’S “MINIMUM INSERTION” MARK MUST NOT BE VISIBLE
ABOVE THE TOP OF THE HEADSET. IF THE STEM IS EXTENDED
BEYOND THIS MARK, THE STEM MAY BREAK OR DAMAGE THE FORK’S
STEERER TUBE, WHICH COULD CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CONTROL AND
FALL. FAILURE TO PROPERLY TIGHTEN THE STEM BINDER BOLT, THE
HANDLEBAR BINDER BOLT, OR THE BAR END EXTENSION CLAMPING
BOLTS MAY COMPROMISE STEERING ACTION, WHICH COULD CAUSE
YOU TO LOSE CONTROL AND FALL. PLACE THE FRONT WHEEL OF
THE BICYCLE BETWEEN YOUR LEGS AND ATTEMPT TO TWIST THE
HANDLEBAR/STEM ASSEMBLY USING A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF
FORCE. IF YOU CAN TWIST THE STEM IN RELATION TO THE FRONT
WHEEL, TURN THE HANDLEBARS IN RELATION TO THE STEM, OR
TURN THE BAR END EXTENSIONS IN RELATION TO THE HANDLEBAR,
YOU MUST TIGHTEN THE APPROPRIATE BOLTS ACCORDINGLY.
HANDLEBAR HEIGHT
Maximum comfort is usually obtained when the handlebar height is equal to the height of the seat. You
may wish to adjust the height to find the most comfortable position.
