User manual BIKE NASHBAR NASHBAR THREADLESS ROAD STEM

[. . . ] v WARNING Thank you for purchasing the Nashbar Threadless Road Stem. The stem is compatible with any handlebar requiring a 26. 0 mm clamp area. [. . . ] This will help you evaluate your stem height when setting up your new stem. Seat the steerer tube firmly in the head tube and press the stem and any spacers to be used firmly against the top of the headset (the compression ring of the headset). Make sure you have everything correctly assembled before you mark or cut your steerer tube. Remove the stem from the steerer tube, and the fork from the head tube. Clean the top of the steerer tube with a file or wire brush to remove any rough edges. Wipe the outside of the steerer tube clean with a cloth, slide the fork into place through the headset and slide spacers (if any) and the stem onto the steerer tube. Check to make sure that the top of the steerer tube is approximately 3 mm below the top edge of the stem. a) If the steerer tube is too long, proper headset adjustment will not be possible. The steerer tube will need to be cut (shortened), or spacers will need to be added. b) If the steerer tube is too short, the stem may not have sufficient clamping surface against the steerer tube. Install the Star Nut as per the headset manufacturer's recommendation and install the Top Cap. Tighten the 5 mm hex stem bolts (the bolts holding the stem to the steerer tube) to 85 inch/lbs. [. . . ] If you have any questions about the proper installation of this product, please call our Technical services department. !v WARNING It is critically important to check that all fittings are tightened securely to avoid possible loss of steering control.
