NOTE:
Comfort Series (CS) bicycles may be equipped with a stem that has an adjustable angle.
In addition to the normal assembly, these stems will require angling the stem to the desired position,
and securely tightening the 6mm angle bolt located in front of the stem bolt.
Failure to do this may cause loss of steering control.

Stem Installation (Should be assembled on the
bike already)
1. Insert the compression bolt through the top
cap and the stem. Begin threading into the

3. Align the stem with the front wheel. Tighten
the stem clamp bolts to secure the stem to the
steerer tube.
Handlebar Installation
1. Remove the stem cap bolts and stem cap.
2. Insert handlebar into the stem cap.
3. Tighten the stem cap bolts equally. Note
the distance between the stem and stem cap:
It should be equal on the top and bottom of the
stem cap.
