Hydraulic brakes are also ﬁtted with adjusting devices at the brake lever. There

are different systems; ask your STEVENS dealer for advice or read the instructions

of the component manufacturers on the enclosed CD-ROM.

When adjusting the lever reach, make sure the ﬁrst phalanx of the index ﬁnger

reaches around the brake lever. Check the proper adjustment and functioning of

the brake system subsequently, as described in chapter “The Brake System”

further below and in your comprehensive STEVENS user manual as well as in the

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

Adjusting the Tilt of Handlebars, Bar Ends and Brake Levers of

STEVENS City, Trekking, Cross, Kids’ and Mountain Bikes

The handlebars are usually slightly bent at the ends. Set the handlebars to a

position in which your wrists are relaxed and not turned too much outwards.

To adjust the angle of the handlebars, release the Allen bolt(s) on the underside

or front side of the stem. Turn the handlebars to the desired position. Make sure

the handlebars are accurately centred in the stem. Carefully retighten the bolt(s)

with the torque wrench.

Make sure the upper and lower clamping slots of the stem are parallel and

identical in width. If you have a stem with several bolts, tighten them evenly in

a cross pattern by using a torque wrench and observe the recommended torque

values.

Try rotating the handlebars once clamped in the stem and tighten the bolt a

little more, if necessary. Use a torque wrench and never exceed the maximum

torque values! You will ﬁnd the prescribed values directly on the components and/

or in the operating instructions of the component manufacturers on the enclosed

CD-ROM.

After adjusting the handlebars you need to adjust the brake and shift lever

mounts. Release the Allen bolt at either mount. Turn the levers relative to the han-

dlebars. Sit in the saddle and place your ﬁngers on the brake levers.

Check whether the back of your hand forms a straight line with the line of your

forearm. Retighten the mounts with a torque wrench and do a twist test!

Bar ends and multi position handlebars give you additional ways of gripping

the handlebars. Bar ends are usually ﬁxed in a position that gives the rider a com-

fortable grip when pedalling out of the saddle, i.e. almost parallel to the ground or

tilted slightly upwards (by about 25°).

Release the bolts, which are usually located on the underside of the bar ends,

by one to two complete turns. Turn the bar ends to the desired position making

sure the angle is the same on both sides. Retighten the bolts to the required torque

value. Check whether the bar ends are ﬁrmly ﬁxed by trying to twist them out of

position.

Danger:

Make sure you cannot

pull the brake levers all

the way to the handle-

bars. Your maximum

brake force should be

reached short of this

point.

Note:

If you have hydraulic

brakes and disc brakes,

follow the instructions of

the brake manufacturer.

If you are in doubt or if

you have any questions,

contact your STEVENS

dealer.

Danger:

Be aware that the dis-

tance you need to stop

your bicycle increases,

when you are riding

with your hands on bar

ends or on multi position

handlebars. The brake

levers are not always

within easy reach.

Danger:

Never ﬁx bar ends in

vertical position or with

their ends pointing

rearwards as this would

increase the risk of

injury in the event of an

accident.

Danger:

Tighten the bolts at the stem until the clamping slots between the stem

body and the faceplate are parallel and identical in with in the top and in

the bottom. Tighten the bolts evenly and in a cross pattern, i.e. alternately

and gradually, by using a torque wrench to the lower value of the recom-

mended torque settings.
