Test for proper installation
.
i.
Make sure stem is centered over the front
wheel and bolts are tight
.
ii.
Make sure Handlebar is aligned properly
and Handlebar Bolts are tightened.
iii.
Ensure that the front fork and stem will
turn easily and smoothly from side to side
without your handlebar slipping.
If you do not fully understand any of the
above steps or if you think the handlebar is not
tightened properly, please contact the Simbi
Customer Support Team (see page 32).
An insufficiently tightened stem bolt or
handlebar binder bolt, may compromise steering
action, which could cause you to lose control and
fall. Place the front wheel of the bicycle between
your legs and attempt to twist the handlebar/stem
assembly. If you can twist the stem in relation to
the front wheel, turn the handlebars in relation to
the stem, or turn the bar end extensions in relation
to the handlebar, the bolts are insufficiently
tightened.
Loose or damaged handlebar grips or
extensions can cause you to lose control and fall.
Make sure all wires and cables are free
from obstruction and not wrapped around the stem
or front fork.
