Adjusting the Height of the Handlebars

The height of the handlebars compared to the saddle and the distance between

saddle and handlebars determine how much your upper body will be inclined for-

ward. Lowering the handlebars gives you a streamlined position and brings more

weight to bear on the front wheel. However, it also entails an extremely forward

leaning posture which is tiring and less comfortable, because it increases the

strain on your wrists, arms, back, upper body and neck.

There are three different stem systems that allow vertical adjustment of the

handlebars, i.e. the conventional, the adjustable and the Aheadset®-stem.

These systems require special knowledge. In this regard, the descriptions here-

after may be incomplete. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact

your STEVENS dealer.

Danger:

Never ride a STEVENS bicycle with a stem that has been drawn out beyond

the mark for the maximum permissible height! Check all bolted connec-

tions and test your brakes before you set off!

Danger:

The bolted connections of stem and handlebars have to be tightened to

the prescribed torque values. If you disregard the prescribed values, the

handlebars or stem may come loose or break. 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.

Caution:

Keep in mind that

readjusting the position

of the stem changes the

position of handlebars,

brake and shift levers.

Readjust these com-

ponents, as described

in chapter “Adjusting

the Tilt of Handlebars,

Bar Ends and Brake

Levers“.

Note:

When doing any

adjusting, observe the

instructions of the stem

manufacturer on the

enclosed CD-ROM. Ask

your STEVENS dealer

to explain you both

function and adjustment

of your stem or let him

do that work.

Danger:

Do not mount any stem extenders,speed-lifters or the like.

Danger:

Spacers must be removed by STEVENS dealers only, as this requires the

shortening of the fork steerer.

Danger:

These routines require a certain amount of manual skill and (special) tools

and are best left to your STEVENS dealer. Nevertheless, if you want to try it

by yourself, see chapter “Adjusting the Height of the Handlebars” in your

comprehensive STEVENS user manual as well as in the instructions of the

component manufacturers on the enclosed CD-ROM.

Adjustable Stems

There are various solutions for adjusting the tilt of the front part of adjustable

stems: Some designs use bolts on the sides of the joint, others have bolts coming

from above or below, and other again are equipped with additional locking mech-

anisms or adjusting bolts.

For more information see chapter “Adjusting the Height of the Handlebars”

in your comprehensive STEVENS user manual as well as in the instructions of the

component manufacturers on the enclosed CD-ROM.

Stems for Threadless Systems, the Aheadset®-System

In the case of STEVENS bicycles with Aheadset® the stem also serves to adjust

the bearing preload. If you change the position of the stem you have to readjust

the bearing play.

The vertical setting range is determined by the intermediate rings, also referred

to as spacers. In the case of ﬂip-ﬂop stem models the stem can be mounted the

other way round to achieve a different handlebar height (see chapter “Headset”

in your comprehensive STEVENS user manual on the enclosed CD-ROM).

Caution:

Never try to unscrew the

top race of the headset

when you only want to

adjust the stem, as you

will otherwise alter the

bearing play!

Danger:

The stem is one of the

load bearing parts of

your STEVENS bicycle.

Changes to it can impair

your safety. If you are in

doubt or if you have any

questions, contact your

STEVENS dealer!

Conventional Stems

Handlebars with conventional stems allow limited vertical adjustment. This is

done by moving the stem up or down inside the fork steerer tube.

For more information see chapter “Adjusting the Height of the Handlebars”

in your comprehensive STEVENS user manual as well as in the instructions of the

component manufacturers on the enclosed CD-ROM.
