Testing Stem and Handlebar Tightness
TO TEST THE TIGHTNESS OF THE STEM:
• Straddle the front wheel between your legs.
• Try to turn the front wheel by turning the handlebar
1
.
• If the handlebar and stem turn without turning the front
wheel, realign the stem with the wheel and tighten the
stem bolt(s) tighter than before (about 1/2 revolution
only at a time) until the handlebar and stem do not turn
without turning the front wheel.
TO TEST THE TIGHTNESS OF THE HANDLEBAR CLAMP:
• Hold the bicycle stationary and try to move the ends of
the handlebar up and down
2
.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 100 lbs (45 kg) downward force.
• If the handlebar moves, loosen the bolt(s) of the handlebar clamp.
• Put the handlebar in the correct position and tighten the bolt(s) of the handlebar
clamp tighter than before.
• If the handlebar clamp has more than one bolt, tighten the bolts equally.
• Do this test again, until the handlebar does not move in the handlebar clamp.

Front Derailleur Adjustments - continued
Put the “high” adjusting screw
H
in the correct position as follows:
• Shift the chain onto the largest front sprocket and the smallest rear sprocket.
• Turn the “high” adjusting screw
H
so the right inside edge of the chain cage and the
chain just do not touch.
NOTE: If the shift lever does not move easily:
• If the shift cable seems to stick, lubricate it.
• Do not lubricate the shift control.
• If the shift cable is sharply bent, rusted or has broken strands, replace it.
Perform the “Rear Derailleur Adjustments” if:
• The chain will not shift onto all the rear sprockets.
• The chain comes o the rear sprockets.
• The chain makes noise while on the smallest or largest rear sprocket.
• The rear derailleur rubs the spoke protector.
