HANDLEBARS AND STEM

Quill Stems

The handlebar stem fits into the steering column and

is held firm by the action of a binder bolt and expander

wedge which, when tightened, binds with the inside of

the fork steerer tube.

When removing the stem, loosen the stem bolt two

or three turns, then give it a tap to loosen the wedge

inside.

Lubricate by first wiping off any old grease and grime,

then applying a thin film of grease to the part, including

the wedge, that will be inserted into the frame.

The height of the handlebar can be adjusted to suit

your comfort preference.

If the stem is removed from the steering column, you

will notice a mark about 65mm up from the bottom with

the words “max. height” or “minimum insertion".

Never ride a bicycle if the stem has been

raised so that the max. height/minimum

insertion line can be seen.
