Straightening the handlebar and adjusting the steering play

CAUTION
The adjusting bolt for the steering play (1) does not serve to tighten the stem, but only to adjust the play in the steering
bearing!
1. Loosen the stem clamp bolts (2) with a hex wrench. Do not loosen
the adjusting bolt for the steering play (1).
2. Turn the handlebar into the direction of travel and align it with the
front wheel.
3. Check the steering bearing for play by pulling the front brake and trying to push the bike gently backwards and
forwards.
→ There must be no play.
4. If you feel any movement inside the headset, tighten the adjusting screw for the steering play (1) a quarter turn.
5. Check the headset once again for play and repeat the previous steps, if need be, until there is no more play inside the
bearing.
If in doubt, seek professional advice from a qualified bicycle mechanic.
6. Tighten the stem clamp bolts (2) alternately to a torque of 5 to 6 Nm.
