Stems for threadless systems – Aheadset®
In the case of BERGAMONT bikes with Aheadset® headsets the stem also serves
to adjust the bearing preload. If you change the position of the stem, you have
to readjust the bearing play (see the chapter “The headset on the BERGAMONT
bike” and the manuals of the component manufacturers on this BERGAMONT
info CD).
The vertical setting range is determined by the intermediate rings, also referred
to as spacers (b). In the case of flip-flop stem models the stem can be mounted
the other way round (c) to achieve a different handlebar height.
For modifications unscrew the bolt at the top of the fork steerer tube which
serves to adjust the initial bearing pressure, remove the Ahead cap and release
the bolts on either side of the stem by up to three turns (d). Remove stem and
spacers from the fork steerer tube. In doing so keep hold of both frame and fork
to prevent the fork from slipping off the head tube. You can determine the han-
dlebar height by the arrangement of stem and spacers. Slip the remaining spac-
ers onto the fork steerer tube above the stem. Adjust the headset, as described
in the chapter “The headset on the BERGAMONT bike“.
If you want to turn the stem around, you have to also release the bolts of the
faceplate securing the handlebars (e). If the stem is fitted with a cap, you can
simply take out the handlebars at this point. If it is not fitted with a cap, you have
to remove the handlebar fittings.
Mount the handlebars and, if necessary, the handlebar fittings, as described
in the chapter “Adjustment of handlebar tilt and brake lever/shifter units on
BERGAMONT road bikes and BERGAMONT cyclo-cross bikes” and/or in the
manuals of the component manufacturers on this BERGAMONT info CD.
Check after the adjustment or assembly, whether the handlebars are firmly seat-
ed in the stem by trying to rotate the handlebars downwards (f). Verify whether
the handlebar/stem-combination can be turned relative to the fork. Do this by
taking the front wheel between your knees and trying to twist the handlebars.
If there is movement, carefully tighten the bolts a little more by using the torque
wrench, observe the maximum torque value and check again the proper fit.
Tighten carefully by approaching the prescribed maximum torque value in small
steps (0.5 Nm increments) and check in between the proper fit of the component.
DANGER!
G
The stem is one of the load-bearing parts of your BERGAMONT bike.
Changes to it can impair your safety. If you are in doubt or if you have any
questions, contact your BERGAMONT dealer!
DANGER!
G
These routines require a certain amount of manual skill and (special) tools.
Ask your BERGAMONT dealer to explain you both function and adjustment
of your stem or let him do that work.
DANGER!
G
The bolted connections of stem and handlebars have to be tightened to
the prescribed torque values. If you disregard the prescribed values, the
handlebars or stem may come loose or break. Use a torque wrench and never
exceed the maximum torque values! You will find the prescribed values in the
chapter “Recommended torque settings for your BERGAMONT bike”, directly
on the components and/or in the manuals of the component manufacturers on
this BERGAMONT info CD.
DANGER!
G
Stems come in varying lengths (a) as well as shaft and binder tube diam-
eters. A stem of inappropriate dimension can become a source of danger:
Handlebars, stems or forks can break, resulting in an accident. When replacing
any parts be sure to only use parts that bear the appropriate mark and, to be on
the safe side, original spare parts from BERGAMONT. Your BERGAMONT dealer
will be pleased to help you.
CAUTION!
A
If you choose to use the product of another manufacturer, make sure it is
compatible with the BERGAMONT components. BERGAMONT assumes no
responsibility for problems resulting from the use of non- BERGAMONT pro-
ducts. Make sure the handlebar/stem-combination is approved by the handle-
bar and/or stem manufacturer.
CAUTION!
A
Make sure the handlebar clamping area is free of sharp edges.
