You can determine the handlebar height by the ar-
rangement of stem and spacers. Slip the remaining
spacers onto the fork steerer tube above the stem.
Adjust the headset, as described in the chapter “The
headset”.
If you want to turn the stem around, you have to also
release the faceplate bolts securing the handlebars
(a) . If the stem is fitted with a cap, you can simply
take out the handlebars at this point. If it is not fitted
with a cap, you have to remove the handlebar fittings.
Observe the lengths of the cables.
Mount the handlebars and, if necessary, the handle-
bar fittings, as described in the chapter “Adjusting the
tilt of the handlebars and brake levers of CENTURION
road racing machines and CENTURION cyclo-cross
bikes” and/or in the instructions of the component
manufacturers on this CENTURION CD-ROM.
Check whether the handlebars are firmly seated in
the stem by trying to rotate the handlebars down-
wards (b) . Verify whether the handlebar/stem unit
can be twisted relative to the fork. Do this by tak-
ing the front wheel between your knees and trying to
twist the handlebars. If there is movement, carefully
tighten the bolts a little more and check the proper
fit again.
Tighten carefully by approaching the prescribed
maximum torque value in small steps (0.5 Nm incre-
ments) and check in between the proper fit of the
component. Never exceed the maximum torque val-
ue indicated by the manufacturer!

These routines require a certain amount
of manual skill and (special) tools. and
are best left to your CENTURION dealer.
If you still wish to do this by yourself, carefully read
through the instructions of the stem manufacturer
on this CENTURION CD-ROM beforehand.
G
In the case of turned stems, it is pos-
sible that the cables are too short. In
this case riding can be unsafe. Ask your
CENTURION dealer for advice.
G
When removing spacers the fork steerer
tube should be shortened. This change
is irreversible. The shortening should be
carried out by your CENTURION dealer, but only
after you have found your preferred position.
G
Stems come in varying lengths as well
as shaft and binder tube diameters (c) .
A stem of inappropriate dimension can
become a source of danger: Handlebars or stems
can break, resulting in an accident. When replac-
ing any parts, be sure to only use parts that bear
the appropriate mark and, to be on the safe side,
original spare parts. Your CENTURION dealer will
be pleased to help you.
A
Keep in mind that readjusting the posi-
tion of the stem changes the position of
the handlebars and of the brake levers/
shifters. Readjust these components (d) , as de-
scribed in the chapter “Adjusting the tilt of the
handlebars and brake levers of CENTURION road
racing machines and CENTURION cyclo-cross
bikes”.
