Adjusting the handlebar
Victesse bikes are all equipped with an adjustable handlebar stem. Some models have a stem that can
be adjusted by hand, and other models have a stem that can only be adjusted only with tools (Allen
wrench).
Handlebar adjustment with manually adjustable stem
You can adjust the position of the handlebar yourself, without
the need for tools. The stem allows you to twist the handlebar
toward or away from you.
1. Push the slider on the handlebar up and hold it in this
position (
A
).
2. Then lift the large lever up until the handlebar is loose in the
stem; you can now release the gray slider (
B
).
3. Decide how you want the handlebar positioned (
C
).
4. Once you have set the correct handlebar-to-saddle distance,
you can tighten the stem slightly to hold the handlebar in
position (
D
).
5. Make sure the handlebar is centered in the stem, and push
the big lever down. As soon as the black lever clicks under
the dark gray slider, it locks again (
A
).
Note:
To be able to ride safely, the handlebar must be fully
locked.
