Option, Proper Stem Installation | K2 Bike Chubby LT instruction

Step #5 - Decide where you want the upper triple clamp mounted.

The position of the upper triple clamp on the Chubby forks is somewhat flexible. You can place the upper triple clamp directly on top of the headset, or you can space it up so that it clamps up higher on the stanchions. Remember: the position of the lower triple clamp is FIXED, and should not be moved up or down. The steps below will show you how to mount the upper triple clamp properly in any location.

1.Withtheuppertripleclamptemporarilyinstalled,slidethestem(withhandlebarattached)ontothesteererand position it where you would like it. Tighten the stem cinch bolts and sit on the bike to check the handlebar height. Do not ride the bike like this. You are only checking handlebar position now. Note: If you want a lower stem position, the stanchion tubes will probably extend above the top of the upper triple clamp. Make sure this is what you want before making any alterations to the steerer tube.

Proper Stem Installation

CAUTION: If the two steerer pinch bolts are not securely tightened, the stem may rotate or pull off of the steerer tube, resulting in loss of control and severe injury.

CAUTION: All Chubby fork bolts should be tightened to the proper torque when installation is completed. Failure to torque all bolts properly can result in failure during use and severe injury. Refer to Maintenance: Service Table for all torque, lubrication, and Loc-tite specifications for all Chubby bolts.
