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.

• 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).

• Do this test again, 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.

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.
