QUESTIONS:

 

Should you have any questions during the final assembly of your new bicycle, please call our product   4/4/11                         

specialists at 800-226-7552 any day between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Eastern.                         pg.

 
Moving the stem straight up and down is the simplest way to make minor height  
adjustments. This was covered in the assembly instructions. (Remember not to 
 raise the stem over the “minimum insertion line.”) 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Rotating the adjustable riser bar gives you more adjustment. To do this you may need to loosen the riser “through” bolt 
(see below) a few turns using Allen wrenches (you might need two, one for each side).  Loosen the riser “clamp” bolt at 
the front of the riser (see below), holding the clamp away  with your finger to disengage the teeth.  Rotate the bar to the 
desired position and retighten, tightening the riser “clamp” bolt first, and then the riser “through” bolt.   
 

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  

This space 
should be equal 
on both sides. 

The stem 
can be 
moved up 
and down. 

Riser 
adjusted 
fully upright 
and back. 

Riser 
“clamp” bolt 
needs to be 
loosened to 
disengage 
the teeth. 

Riser “through” bolt 
may need to be 
loosened first. It may 
take an Allen wrench 
on each side to keep it 
from spinning. 

After adjusting the riser angle you may need to rotate the handlebar back to a 
more level upright position by loosening the two handlebar clamp bolts, rotating 
the bar to the position you want, and retightening them. (Retighten them equally 
by turning each one turn at a time, so the space between them and the clamp 
base is equal on both sides.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Riser 
adjusted 
fully down 
and forward.
