Hydraulic brakes are also fitted with adjusting devices at the brake lever. There
are different systems; ask your STEVENS dealer for advice or read the instructions
of the component manufacturers on the enclosed CD-ROM.
When adjusting the lever reach, make sure the first phalanx of the index finger
reaches around the brake lever. Check the proper adjustment and functioning of
the brake system subsequently, as described in chapter “The Brake System”
further below and in your comprehensive STEVENS user manual as well as in the
instructions of the component manufacturers on the enclosed CD-ROM.
Adjusting the Tilt of Handlebars, Bar Ends and Brake Levers of
STEVENS City, Trekking, Cross, Kids’ and Mountain Bikes
The handlebars are usually slightly bent at the ends. Set the handlebars to a
position in which your wrists are relaxed and not turned too much outwards.
To adjust the angle of the handlebars, release the Allen bolt(s) on the underside
or front side of the stem. Turn the handlebars to the desired position. Make sure
the handlebars are accurately centred in the stem. Carefully retighten the bolt(s)
with the torque wrench.
Make sure the upper and lower clamping slots of the stem are parallel and
identical in width. If you have a stem with several bolts, tighten them evenly in
a cross pattern by using a torque wrench and observe the recommended torque
values.
Try rotating the handlebars once clamped in the stem and tighten the bolt a
little more, if necessary. Use a torque wrench and never exceed the maximum
torque values! You will find the prescribed values directly on the components and/
or in the operating instructions of the component manufacturers on the enclosed
CD-ROM.
After adjusting the handlebars you need to adjust the brake and shift lever
mounts. Release the Allen bolt at either mount. Turn the levers relative to the han-
dlebars. Sit in the saddle and place your fingers on the brake levers.
Check whether the back of your hand forms a straight line with the line of your
forearm. Retighten the mounts with a torque wrench and do a twist test!
Bar ends and multi position handlebars give you additional ways of gripping
the handlebars. Bar ends are usually fixed in a position that gives the rider a com-
fortable grip when pedalling out of the saddle, i.e. almost parallel to the ground or
tilted slightly upwards (by about 25°).
Release the bolts, which are usually located on the underside of the bar ends,
by one to two complete turns. Turn the bar ends to the desired position making
sure the angle is the same on both sides. Retighten the bolts to the required torque
value. Check whether the bar ends are firmly fixed by trying to twist them out of
position.
Danger:
Make sure you cannot
pull the brake levers all
the way to the handle-
bars. Your maximum
brake force should be
reached short of this
point.
Note:
If you have hydraulic
brakes and disc brakes,
follow the instructions of
the brake manufacturer.
If you are in doubt or if
you have any questions,
contact your STEVENS
dealer.
Danger:
Be aware that the dis-
tance you need to stop
your bicycle increases,
when you are riding
with your hands on bar
ends or on multi position
handlebars. The brake
levers are not always
within easy reach.
Danger:
Never fix bar ends in
vertical position or with
their ends pointing
rearwards as this would
increase the risk of
injury in the event of an
accident.
Danger:
Tighten the bolts at the stem until the clamping slots between the stem
body and the faceplate are parallel and identical in with in the top and in
the bottom. Tighten the bolts evenly and in a cross pattern, i.e. alternately
and gradually, by using a torque wrench to the lower value of the recom-
mended torque settings.
