Owner`s manual

When re-fitting the stem, make sure the handlebars are correctly aligned

and tightened using the appropriate hex wrench or allen key.

Do not over tighten.

Test the security of the handlebar within the stem, and the stem within

the fork steerer tube, by clamping the front wheel between your knees

and trying to move the handlebar up and down, and from side to side. The

handlebar should not move when applying turning pressure.

Handlebars

The exact positioning of the handlebar is a matter of personal comfort.

For MTB bicycles, the bar should be approximately horizontal, with the

ends pointing back and slightly up. On BMX bicycles, the handlebar

should remain in an approximately upright position but can be angled

back or forward slightly for comfort. On MTB and racing style bicycles,

the handlebar is usually tightened in the stem by a single allen key bolt or

hexagonal bolt. On BMX style bicycles there may be four clamping bolts.

Please note that if you need to replace the fork on your bicycle at any

time, please consult a qualified bicycle technician.

Never ride unless the handlebar clamping

mechanism has been securely tightened.
