Adjusting the STEVENS Bicycle to the Rider
Your body height and proportions are decisive for the frame size of your
STEVENS bicycle. Make particularly sure there is enough space between your
crotch and the top tube so that you do not hurt yourself, if you have to get off your
bicycle quickly.
By choosing a specific type of bicycle you roughly determine the posture you
will be riding in. However, some components of your STEVENS bicycle are espe-
cially designed so that you can adjust them to your body proportions up to a
certain degree. This includes the seat post, the handlebars and stem as well as
the brake grips or brake levers/shifters.
As these adjustments require know-how, experience, appropriate tools and a
certain amount of skill, you should restrict yourself to the adjustment of the seating
position. Ask your STEVENS dealer for the correct seating position or if you want
something changed. They will see to your wishes the next time you leave your
STEVENS bicycle at the workshop, e.g. for the first inspection.
After any adjustment/assembly work, be sure to make a short functional check
as described in chapter “Before Every Ride” and do a test ride on your STEVENS
bicycle in an area free of traffic.
Danger:
If you have a very small frame, there may be the danger of your foot col-
liding with the front wheel. Therefore, make sure your cleats are properly
adjusted.
Danger:
All tasks described in the following require the know-how of a mechanic
and appropriate tools. Make it a rule to tighten the bolted connections
always with greatest attention. Increase the torque values bit by bit,
checking the fit of the component in between. Use a torque wrench and
never exceed the maximum torque values! The torque values are given
in chapter “Recommended Torque Settings” in your comprehensive
STEVENS user manual, directly on the components and/or in the instruc-
tions of the component manufacturers on the enclosed CD-ROM.
Note:
If sitting on the saddle causes you trouble, e.g. because it numbs your
crotch, this may be due to the saddle. Your STEVENS dealer has a very
wide range of saddles available and can offer advice on position.
Thru Axles
Thru axles are mounted in almost all fields when STEVENS bicycles are
exposed to high loads, i.e. when riding cross-country, all mountain, enduro as
well as in the field of road racing, cyclo-cross, pedelec and allround. They provide
suspension forks with a suitable stiffness.
Useful Information for Mounting Wheels with Thru Axles
There is a wide range of thru-axle systems available now. Some systems are
tightened with quick-releases. Other systems may require special tools for assem-
bly or disassembly.
Check the fixing after the first one to two hours of use and subsequently every
20 hours of use.
To dismount the wheel, open the quick-release of the axle at the fork. Once
it is open the thru axle can be loosened and the axle can be fully removed from
the hub.
If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your STEVENS dealer.
Danger:
Improperly mounted wheels may throw you off your bicycle or result in
serious accidents! Ask your STEVENS dealer to show you how to handle
the thru axle type you have.
Note:
Before dismounting the wheel or doing any maintenance work, be sure
to read first the operating instructions of the fork, thru axle and wheel
manufacturer on the enclosed CD-ROM.
Caution:
To mount the axle only use the tools recommended by the manufacturer.
Make it a rule to use a torque wrench. 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. Never exceed the
maximum torque value indicated by the manufacturer! A too tight fixing of
the axle can damage the axle or the fork leg.
Caution:
Check the thru axle
fixing after one to two
hours of use and subse-
quently every 20 hours
of use.
Note:
Before mounting or
replacing a fork/wheel
combination with thru
axle system, be sure to
read first the operat-
ing instructions of the
respective suspension
fork or wheel manufac-
turer on the enclosed
CD-ROM.
Danger:
When replacing the
saddle, make sure the
saddle rail is compatible
with the seat post. If
you are in doubt or if
you have any questions,
contact your STEVENS
dealer.
Note:
The seating position
depends highly on how
you want to use the
STEVENS bicycle. Ask
your STEVENS dealer or
your trainer for help. The
advices given below are
suitable for typical road
racing, city, trekking and
cross-country/marathon
bikes.
