• The play can now be adjusted out using
the recessed bolt B. Tighten this up gently
‘by feel’.
• Align the stem again so that the handle-
bars are straight.
• Re-tighten the side clamp bolts A. Apply a
torque of 5 Nm.
• Carry out the test for play as described
above. Also, make sure that the bearing
isn’t adjusted too tight.
ADJUSTMENT
The headset bearings consist of an inverted
Aheadset arrangement. The ‘steerer tube’
goes from the stem hinge downwards. At
its lower end the fork pushes onto it, and is
fixed by two clamp screws A (similar to the
way an Aheadset stem is fixed). In addition,
the fork is held in place from below with a
fixing cap secured by bolt B.
• To adjust the headset, the two clamping
screws A must first be loosened.

Check that the stem is com-
pletely secure against turning
after you’ve adjusted the headset
bearings! A loose stem could
lead to a crash!
DANGER!
ATTENTION!
Do not completely tighten up this
bolt B, or you will be ‘dialing in’
play.
