Adjustable stems

Some bikes have stems that can be 
adjusted to increase or decrease the 
angle of the stem to a more desirable 
position. Ensure the bolt securing the 
angle is securely tightened as failure to do 
so may cause loss of steering control. 

Loosen the seat post clamp.  If your bike 
has a quick release lever rotate the quick 
release clamp until it is fully open. 

Quick 

release levers operate with an adjusting 
nut at one end, and a lever on a cam at 
the other end.  Always adjust the Quick 
release clamp with the lever in the open 
position, and by turning the nut (not the 
lever).

If your bike has a has a nutted seat post 
clamp, use a wrench (or allen key if 
appropriate) to loosen the clamp.

Place the seat post into the frame and 
slide it down to the desired height, 
ensuring the minimum insertion mark 
cannot be seen.
