WARNING
On some bicycles, changing the stem or stem
height can aect the tension of the front brake
cable, locking the front brake or creating excess
cable slack which can make the front brake
inoperable. If the front brake pads move in
towards the wheel rim or out away from the
wheel rim when the stem or stem height is
changed, the brakes must be correctly adjusted
before you ride the bicycle.
Some bicycles are equipped with an adjustable angle
stem. If your bicycle has an adjustable angle stem,
ask your dealer to show you how to adjust if. Do not
attempt to make the adjustment yourself, as changing
stem angle may also require adjustments to the
bicycle’s controls.
WARNING
Always tighten fasteners to the correct torque.
Bolts that are too tight can stretch and deform.
Bolts that are too loose can move and fatigue.
Either mistake can lead to a sudden failure of the
bolt, causing you to lose control and fall.
WARNING
AN INSUFFICIENTLY TIGHTENED
STEM BINDER BOLT, HANDLEBAR
BINDER BOLT OR BAR END
EXTENSION CLAMPING BOLT MAY
COMPROMISE STEERING ACTION,
WHICH COULD CAUSE YOU TO LOSE
CONTROL AND FALL.
Place the front wheel of the bicycle between
your legs and attempt to twist the handlebar/
stem assembly. If you can twist the stem in
relation to the front wheel, turn the handlebars
in relation to the stem, or turn the bar end
extensions in relation to the handlebar, the bolts
are insuciently tightened.
Your dealer can also change the angle of the
handlebar or bar end extensions.
3.D - Control Position Adjustments
The angle of the brake and shift control levers and
their position on the handlebars can be changed. Ask
your dealer to make the adjustments for you.
If you choose to make your own control lever angle
adjustment, be sure to re-tighten the clamp fasteners
to the recommended torque (See manufacturer’s
instructions).
3.E - Brake Reach
Many bikes have brake levers which can be adjusted
for reach. If you have small hands or nd it dicult to
squeeze the brake levers, your dealer can either adjust
the reach or t shorter reach brake levers.
WARNING
THE SHORTER THE BRAKE LEVER
REACH, THE MORE CRITICAL IT IS TO
HAVE CORRECTLY ADJUSTED BRAKES,
SO THAT FULL BRAKING POWER CAN
BE APPLIED WITHIN AVAILABLE BRAKE
LEVER TRAVEL.
Brake lever travel insucient to apply full braking
power can result in loss of control, which may
result in serious injury or death.
