2 – then you can freely adjust the height of the stem, but be careful not to exceed the minimum insertion
mark. when you retighten the stem, be sure to respect the torque specifications and to align the stem with
the front wheel.
If you have a threadless headset, we recommend that you consult your Lapierre authorized dealer who can flip
the stem or remove spacers.
After making adjustments to the stem, check that the stem is tightened by trying to turn the handlebars left
and right while you hold the front wheel between your legs.
for your safety, adjust your handlebars so that you can easily access the brake levers and the shifters.
for mountain bikes: the shifters should be positioned in the prolongation of your forearms when you are in
riding position on the bike.
for road bikes: In general, the lower part of the handlebars should be horizontal.
WARNINg: The stem has a minimum insertion mark (“STOP” or “INSERT MINI”). If this mark is visible, the stem may break,
causing potential injury, and the terms of the warranty will be cancelled. For threadless headsets, always make sure the
bolts are correctly tightened.

the headset is composed of two bearings and races placed at each end of the head tube. Lapierre bikes use
one of two types of headsets: classic (when the front fork, which has screw threads, is secured by a locknut),
or threadless (when the front fork is clamped by the handlebar stem itself and the play can be adjusted by
tightening the top cap).
during intense rides, the headset is put under a large amount of pressure, and afterwards you may notice
some play, which could make it difficult to steer. Riding with the headset not properly adjusted could cause
damage to your bike.
Here are two simple tests to perform before each ride:
TEST 1
– while applying the front brake, try to move the bike forwards and backwards. You will notice right away
if there is movement of the steer tube in the headset.
TEST 2
– You can also hold the handlebars and top tube loosely and gently bounce the front wheel on a concrete
surface (the tire must be inflated). You will hear a hollow vibration if there is any play (ignore the sounds of
vibrating cables, etc.).
