Posion the handlebar assembly over the steerer tube. Look
at all the cables to be sure they run in a smooth arc from
the shier or brake lever to the front brake or cable stop on
the frame. Important! If they are twisted or kinked, the
shiing and braking will not work. Figure 3.4
❸ Insert the stem post into the steerer tube and adjust the
handlebar height unl the rider feels they have control of
the bicycle and are comfortable. See Secon 1, Fig. 1.2:
Seat Height and Handlebar Reach for guidelines.
WARNING!
• Improper aachment of the handlebar may result in
damage to the stem post, steering tube and result in loss of
control, serious injury or death. Ensure the minimum
inseron marks on the stem post are not visible above the
top of the headset.
• Failure to properly ghten handlebar components may
result in loss of control, serious injury or death. Always
check the handlebar cannot move and is secured to the
frame before riding the bicycle.
Important! Be sure the minimum inseron marks do not go
above the top of the headset and are not visible.

the top of the stem post. Check the handlebar binder bolt(s)
to be sure they are properly ghtened and the handlebar is
clamped in place. Note: See Secon 4: Adjusng the
