Sunken Stem Bolt System

1. Remove the protective shipping cap from the stem wedge.

2. Remove the Stem Plug from the stem. Loosen the Stem Bolt with a 6mm allen wrench.

3.Insert the stem into the headtube of the bicycle. Ensure that the Minimum Insertion Line is below the top nut of the headset.

4. Align the stem and handlebar so it is in line with the front wheel.

5. Tighten the Stem Bolt with the 6mm allen wrench. Reinsert the Stem Plug into the stem.

WARNING: MINIMUM INSERTION LINE MUST BE HIDDEN WITHIN

THE HEADTUBE OF THE BICYCLE.

If the stem is not inserted into the top nut to at least the “Minimum Insertion” mark, it is possible to over-tighten the stem bolt and damage the fork steerer tube. If these instruc- tions are not followed, it could cause an unsafe condition and risk injury to the rider. Check steering tightness prior to riding by straddling the front wheel. Try turning the han- dlebar. If you can turn it without turning the front wheel, the stem is too loose. Re-align the handlebar with the front wheel and re-tighten the stem bolt.
