Step 6: Check Handlebar, Stem, and Front Wheel Alignment
a. Stand over the bike frame to check the alignment when the bike is
in vertical riding position.
b. Check to make sure the centerline of the stem is
in line with the front wheel.
c. Loosen the stem mounting bolt extending into
the head tube to make an adjustment as
needed. Use the 6mm Allen wrench to loosen
and tighten as needed.
d. Check to make sure the handlebar is centered
in the stem and at comfortable position.
e. Loosen handlebar clamp as needed to adjust
handlebar per Step 2 instruction.
Make sure all fasteners used to secure the handlebar and stem are tight. A loose
handlebar could cause the rider to lose control and result in severe injury. Do not extend
any component beyond the minimum insertion mark. Doing so could result in damage to
bike, property, severe injury, or death.
Handlebar must be
perpendicular to
center line.
