Check whether you can balance safely on your bike while sitting on the
saddle by stretching your feet to the floor. If you cannot, you should
lower the saddle a little, at least to begin with.
After any assembly work, be sure to make a short functional check as de-
scribed in chapter “Before Every Ride” and do a test ride in an area free of
traffic. This will allow you to safely check whether everything is in good
order.
If you are unsure about how to do something, it will be better just to check
your seating position. Ask a specialist if you want something changed.
They will see to your wishes the next time you leave your bicycle at the
workshop, e.g. for the first inspection.
3.3. Adjusting the Height of the Handlebars
The height of the handlebars determines the inclination of the upper
body. The deeper the handlebars, the more inclined the upper body. This
means a more streamlined position for the rider and more weight to bear
on the front wheel, but the extremely inclined position proves less com-
fortable, as the strain on wrists, arms, upper body and neck will increase.
3.3.1. Stems for Threadless Systems, the Aheadset®-
System*
*Aheadset® is a registered trademark of the Dia-Compe company.
STEVENS road racing and cyclocross bicycles are fitted with threadless
headset systems (Aheadset®). In the case of this system the stem also
serves to adjust the bearing preload. If you change the position of the
stem, you have to readjust the bearing (see chapter “The Headset”). The
vertical setting range is limited by the intermediate rings, also referred
to as spacers. With flip-flop stem models it is also possible to mount the
stem the other way round to alter the handlebar height.
Adjusting the Bicycle to the Rider
Note:
Spacers can only be removed
by shortening the steerer tube
at the same time. This short-
ening is irreversible. Have this
shortening only done by your
STEVENS dealer when you
are absolutely sure about the
position.
Danger:
In case you turn the stem
around, the cables may be
too short. In this case riding
on your bicycle is dangerous.
Ask your STEVENS dealer for
advice.
