ADJUSTABLE STEMS
Some 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.
TIGHTENING/PRELOADING THREADLESS HEADSETS
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 star nut.
2. Tighten compression bolt so it removes all play from the fork, but allows the fork to rotate smoothly.
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. "
A
" must be equal distance.
