3. The steering stem is supplied assembled (i.e. pre-
clamped into the headset), but if you wish to make
any adjustments, loosen the stem bolts as shown
and - after the stem is in the correct position -
tighten the bolts again (A in Fig. 13).
NOTE:
After riding for an extended period of time, the
headset may become loose. To fix this, you will need
to preload the headset. First, undo the stem bolts
(as above). Then, lift and remove the rubber preload
cap (B in Fig. 13) and tighten the preload bolt below,
one half-turn at a time with the allen key, until there
is no forward/backward or side-to-side movement in
headset. Replace the rubber cap. Hold the front brake and rock the bike back and
forth, ensuring that no looseness remains. Lift the front wheel and test that it can be
turned freely, is not too tight, and everything is aligned. Straighten the stem to the
front wheel and re-tighten the stem bolts.

Step 2: Assembling the Stem and Handlebar
1. Loosen the screws on the stem and remove the stem cover (Fig. 11).
2. Place the handlebars into the half-circle created by the remaining part of the
stem top, ensuring they are centred. Replace the stem cover, so that the
handlebars are enclosed between the two half-circles of the stem top and the
stem cover. Partially tighten the screws. Check the handlebars are in the correct
position and once satisfied, fully tighten the screws (Fig. 12).
WARNING!
For safe operation, the clamp bolts must be tightened securely. If you can move the
handlebar forward or backward, the bolts are not tight enough. Take care not to over-
tighten and damage the handlebar stem, which could cause injury to the rider.
