ALLOY TRAIL STEM (NO GAP STEM)
WARNING! The stem is designed without
a gap between the stem body and the
faceplate at the upper bolt area. The
upper bolts must be tightened so the
faceplate is flush against the stem body
before being torqued. Failure to do this
can result in structural damage to the
handlebar.
22. Using the corresponding hex key, loosen (counter-
clockwise) and remove the four bolts on the stem
faceplate, then remove the stem faceplate from
the stem.
23. Place the handlebar against the stem, then place
the stem faceplate over the handlebar with the stem
faceplate and stem holes aligned.
24. Add the washer to each bolt and starting with the
upper bolts, thread the bolts through each of the
stem faceplate holes into the stem body making
sure they are equally finger-tightened.
25. Adjust the handlebar to the desired position and
align it with the center of the bicycle.
26. Using a torque wrench and the corresponding hex
bit, gradually torque the upper bolts, alternating from
the left to the right, to the specified torque setting
found on the stem and/or in the user manual.
27. Using a torque wrench and the corresponding bit,
gradually torque the lower bolts, alternating from the
left to the right, to the specified torque setting found
on the stem and/or in the user manual.
