fig. 1

fig. 2

Loosen the screws at the handlebar / stem connection slightly. 

(fig.1)

Turn the handlebars to a comfortable position for you. Make sure that the handlebar 
remains positioned centrally in the stem. 

(fig. 2)

Tighten the handlebars evenly with the 
appropriate Allen key on your minitool by 
alternately tightening the pre-fastening 
bolts.

fig. 6

Ensure uniform tightening torque for all pre-clamp bolts! The clearance of the stem clamp must be identical; otherwise there is 

a risk of a serious material defect!

High clamping forces are not suitable here. The lever of the small minitool and medium hand forces are sufficient. It is best to 

use a suitable torque wrench and pay close attention to the Newton meter indication for the handlebar clamp bolts of the stem 

manufacturer.
