Handlebar Height
Maximum comfort is usually obtained when the handlebar height is
equal to the height of the seat. You may wish to try different heights
to find the most comfortable position.
Threadless headsets and clamp-on stems are not adjustable and are outside the scope
of this manual. Please consult a qualified bicycle technician for details and instruc-
tions on how to adjust and maintain these types of systems.
The stem’s “Minimum Insertion” mark must not be visible above the top of the headset.
If the stem is extended beyond this mark, the stem may break or damage the fork’s
steerer tube, which could cause you to lose control and fall.
Failure to properly tighten the stem binder bolt, the handlebar binder bolt, or the bar
end extension clamping bolts may compromise steering action, which could cause you
to lose control and fall. Place the front wheel of the bicycle between your legs and
attempt to twist the handlebar/stem assembly. If you can twist the stem in relation to
the front wheel, turn the handlebars in relation to the stem, or turn the bar end exten-
sions in relation to the handlebar, you must tighten the appropriate bolts accordingly.
