Your new stem just been delivered? Can't wait to see the changes when you're on your bike? Here's how to fit this part without making a mistake.
- Time: 30 min
- Level : Easy
- Tools : Allen key set | Torque wrench
Steps
- Place the stem on the pivot of your fork then start tightening the retaining bolts, just to stop it moving.
Probikeshop tip: Depending on the stem, the height of the pivot attachment may change, so check that the stem always protrudes about 3 mm above the pivot.
- Place the plug with its screw without tightening for the moment.
- Then mount the handlebars on the stem, and tighten the cap screws evenly to the torque specified by the manufacturer.
Probikeshop tip: if the handlebars or stem are made of carbon, we recommend using assembly paste in contact between these two parts to reduce the torque required and thus avoid damaging them.
- Align the cockpit with the wheel, adjust the play in the direction then tighten the screws to the torque specified by the manufacturer.
Once assembled, it's a good idea to go for a short ride to check that the bolts have not shifted and that the position on the bike is correct.
