Remove the plastic shipping cap from the bottom of the stem; insert the stem and
handlebar assembly into the fork, making sure the stem wedge is loose.
Ensure the cables are not tangled and track smoothly on either side of the stem. The stem
should be pointing towards the front of the bike, aligned with the front tire.
Tighten the stem bolt with an Allen wrench (Figure 2)
