Assembly: Install Stem
28. Tighten Stem
Tighten the quick release securely. It is
normally irrelevant whether the lever is
on the left or right side of the stem; how-
ever, a few stem collars only accept the
quick release from one direction. Also,
some stem models (i.e. Pocket Rocket Pro
bikes) will have a bolt instead of a quick
release to save weight.

30. Adjustable Stem (Optional)
If you have purchased one of our
adjustable stems, set your desired
handlebar height using the clamp
directly above the stem collar. You
may choose to precisely set the
height once, or vary it according to
your riding needs; in either case be
certain this bolt is tight before riding
your bike. For fit stem instructions,
see the section on “Accessories.”

29. Pocket Gnu Stem
If you purchased a Pocket Gnu bicycle,
your stem will be slightly different
because of the suspension fork. On this
bike the stem is a sleeve that fits over the
steerer tube (rather than into the steerer
tube). Furthermore, there is no alignment
pin as on the other stems. With the stem
all the way down over the steerer tube,
align the handlebars perpendicular to
the front wheel, and tighten the quick
release.
