If stack/reach are not yet known measurements, start experimenting with different spacer
stacks, stem lengths, handlebar heights/widths and handlebar/brake lever positions.
„
Fig.5: Assemble the chosen spacer stack in order. The spacers are keyed to fit either the low
or high stack configuration. Low and high stack parts cannot be interchanged.

Fig.6: Install the stem
L
onto the steerer tube (the steerer tube will stick out the top of the stem,
which is ok at this time). Do not torque! Tighten the bolts enough so that the stem doesn’t move.
„
Fig.7:
Apply carbon friction paste to the surfaces between the stem, faceplate and handlebar.
Install the handlebar
N
against the stem. Adjust the angle of the handlebar until it’s in the
desired position.
„ Fig.8: While holding the handlebar in its desired position, rotate the faceplate downward so
that there is no gap between the faceplate and the stem body, at the underside of the stem.
The gap should only be above the handlebar. Torque the stem bolts to 100 in-lbf (11.3 Nm).
If the faceplate is not bottomed against the lower edge of the stem, the
faceplate and handlebar can rotate downward under rider weight until the
faceplate bottoms out against the stem below the handlebar.
„
Fig.7: Install the brake levers
M
and adjust the angle until they’re in the desired positions.
„
Fig.7: Once the stack/reach and handlebar/brake lever angle positions are determined, mark
the handlebar and lever positions, then disassemble the handlebar from the stem.

Fig.1:
Apply grease as illustrated to the surfaces between the upper and lower wedge, as well
as the barrel. bolt threads and bolt head.
„
Fig.2: Insert the wedge assembly into the seat tube.
„
Fig.2: Apply carbon friction paste to the seatpost, then insert into the seat tube. The use of
carbon friction paste is required.
