Install the stem by placing it on the fork shaft. Place
the spacer rings you removed over the stem onto the
fork shaft.
This is absolutely necessary in order to properly adjust
the headset play without having to shorten the fork
shaft.
Screw the headset cap back in and proceed as
described in the chapter ‘Adjusting Ahead-set headsets’
on p. 54.
Headset play.
Headset play may damage the
headset, the stem and fork shaft. There is a risk of
an accident. Always use the factory default number
of spacer rings.
Clamping in the stem.
Inadequate clamping in
the stem poses a risk of crashing. Do not apply force
when making adjustments to the stem.
Loose screwed connections.
Screwed connections
on the stem may become loose when cycling and
cause a crash or accidents. Please consult the chapter
‘Recommended tightening torques’ on p. 80 or the
instructions of the component manufacturers and/or
their website.
Have adjustments to the stem performed by a bike
specialist.

Handlebars
You have the option of adjusting the incline of your
handlebars to suit your gripping position. To do so,
loosen the handlebar clamping screw [ M4 Allen key/
Torx T25 ].
You can now turn the handlebars in the stem and align
it to suit your needs. Position it so that your wrists are
relaxed and are not twisted too far to the outside.
Once you have found the right gripping position,
tighten the handlebar clamping screw by applying the
specified tightening torque. Make sure that the han-
dlebars are centred in the stem clamp. Attempt to turn
the handlebars in relation to the stem to check the
clamping connection.
Brake and shifter grips
You have the option of adjusting the incline of your
brake and shifter levers to your gripping position on
the handlebars.
For this, loosen the Allen key or Torx screws located
on the brackets. Turn the brake and/or shifter lever
to your preferred position and tighten the clamping
screws by applying the prescribed tightening
torques.
You can also adjust the distance of the lever with
respect to the handlebars in order to adjust them to
your preferred finger position. Use the Allen screw
on the lever for this. Once you have found the desired
reach, make sure there is adequate space for applying
the brake pads to the brake discs without the brake
lever coming into contact with the handlebars.
Adjusting the bike to the user
Make sure that the clamping surfaces are clean
and free of grease. If applicable, use the carbon fitting
lubricant to reduce the clamping forces.
Please consult the instructions provided by the
brake manufacturer.
Insufficient braking effectiveness.
It may not be
possible to push the brake lever down to the handle-
bar for maximum braking effectiveness. Set the brake
lever for maximum braking effectiveness.
