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.

Clamp on stems for threadless steering systems cannot be adjusted height wise. It is

possible to make certain parts changes that will allow you to alter the handlebar posi-

tion. Please consult your authorized bicycle dealer for available options. See diagram

on page 41.

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 using a reasonable amount of force. 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 extensions in relation to the handlebar, you must tighten

the appropriate bolts accordingly.
