Adjusting the STEVENS Bicycle to the Rider

Your body height and proportions are decisive for the frame size of your

STEVENS bicycle. Make particularly sure there is enough space between your

crotch and the top tube so that you do not hurt yourself, if you have to get off your

bicycle quickly.

By choosing a speciﬁc type of bicycle you roughly determine the posture you

will be riding in. However, some components of your STEVENS bicycle are espe-

cially designed so that you can adjust them to your body proportions up to a

certain degree. This includes the seat post, the handlebars and stem as well as

the brake grips or brake levers/shifters.

As these adjustments require know-how, experience, appropriate tools and a

certain amount of skill, you should restrict yourself to the adjustment of the seating

position. Ask your STEVENS dealer for the correct seating position or if you want

something changed. They will see to your wishes the next time you leave your

STEVENS bicycle at the workshop, e.g. for the ﬁrst inspection.

After any adjustment/assembly work, be sure to make a short functional check

as described in chapter “Before Every Ride” and do a test ride on your STEVENS

bicycle in an area free of trafﬁc.

Danger:

If you have a very small frame, there may be the danger of your foot col-

liding with the front wheel. Therefore, make sure your cleats are properly

adjusted.

Danger:

All tasks described in the following require the know-how of a mechanic

and appropriate tools. Make it a rule to tighten the bolted connections

always with greatest attention. Increase the torque values bit by bit,

checking the ﬁt of the component in between. Use a torque wrench and

never exceed the maximum torque values! The torque values are given

in chapter “Recommended Torque Settings” in your comprehensive

STEVENS user manual, directly on the components and/or in the instruc-

tions of the component manufacturers on the enclosed CD-ROM.

Note:

If sitting on the saddle causes you trouble, e.g. because it numbs your

crotch, this may be due to the saddle. Your STEVENS dealer has a very

wide range of saddles available and can offer advice on position.

Thru Axles

Thru axles are mounted in almost all ﬁelds when STEVENS bicycles are

exposed to high loads, i.e. when riding cross-country, all mountain, enduro as

well as in the ﬁeld of road racing, cyclo-cross, pedelec and allround. They provide

suspension forks with a suitable stiffness.

Useful Information for Mounting Wheels with Thru Axles

There is a wide range of thru-axle systems available now. Some systems are

tightened with quick-releases. Other systems may require special tools for assem-

bly or disassembly.

Check the ﬁxing after the ﬁrst one to two hours of use and subsequently every

20 hours of use.

To dismount the wheel, open the quick-release of the axle at the fork. Once

it is open the thru axle can be loosened and the axle can be fully removed from

the hub.

If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your STEVENS dealer.

Danger:

Improperly mounted wheels may throw you off your bicycle or result in

serious accidents! Ask your STEVENS dealer to show you how to handle

the thru axle type you have.

Note:

Before dismounting the wheel or doing any maintenance work, be sure

to read ﬁrst the operating instructions of the fork, thru axle and wheel

manufacturer on the enclosed CD-ROM.

Caution:

To mount the axle only use the tools recommended by the manufacturer.

Make it a rule to use a torque wrench. Tighten carefully by approaching

the prescribed maximum torque value in small steps (0.5 Nm increments)

and check in between the proper ﬁt of the component. Never exceed the

maximum torque value indicated by the manufacturer! A too tight ﬁxing of

the axle can damage the axle or the fork leg.

Caution:

Check the thru axle

ﬁxing after one to two

hours of use and subse-

quently every 20 hours

of use.

Note:

Before mounting or

replacing a fork/wheel

combination with thru

axle system, be sure to

read ﬁrst the operat-

ing instructions of the

respective suspension

fork or wheel manufac-

turer on the enclosed

CD-ROM.

Danger:

When replacing the

saddle, make sure the

saddle rail is compatible

with the seat post. If

you are in doubt or if

you have any questions,

contact your STEVENS

dealer.

Note:

The seating position

depends highly on how

you want to use the

STEVENS bicycle. Ask

your STEVENS dealer or

your trainer for help. The

advices given below are

suitable for typical road

racing, city, trekking and

cross-country/marathon

bikes.
