When re-fitting the stem, make sure the
handlebars are correctly aligned and tightened
using the appropriate hex wrench or allen key.
Do not overtighten.
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.
Adjustable Stem
To change the angle on an adjustable rise stem,
you will first need to loosen the angle adjusting
bolts until the stem is allowed to rotate freely.
Determine the angle that is most comfortable for
you and tighten the angle adjusting bolts to lock in
the new position.
Direct-connect Stems
Direct-connect or threadless type stems can not
be raised from their original height. They can
however be lowered by switching the spacers from
beneath the stem to above the stem. If you find
that you need to have the handlebar raised, there
are a number of options that are available to you.
Your dealer will be able to demonstrate the various
options available and help you choose the best
one for your needs. If you have any questions on
adjustment of your direct-connect stem, please
see your local dealer for service assistance.
