How to Adjust for Steering 

If your Freewheel is not tracking straight when coasting forward on level ground, the 
steering should be adjusted. To do this you need to adjust two separate fasteners: 

Front Set Screw, and; 

Main Steering Stem Bolt  

1.  The Front Set Screw holds the steering adjustment. 

2.  After loosening the Front Set Screw (3/32" allen or 2.5mm allen wrench) and Main 

Steering Stem Bolt, rotate the fork to adjust the steering straight.. 

3.  If the internal bushing is not rotating relative  to the frame, then tighten the ball ad-

juster knob to lock the fork to the internal bushing. Work the bushing loose from the 
frame. I like to re-grease this joint to keep it from binding. 

4.  Set the steering and then tighten the Front Set Screw. 

5.  Finish by tightening the Main Steering Stem Bolt. 

6.  Test for straightness by coasting on a flat surface. 

Note: The front ball adjuster knob can be backed off for light steering action or screwed 
in for heavier steering action.
