STEP 6. Installing the Handlebar And Stem
Your bike will normally be shipped to you with the handlebar assembly (handlebars, brake and shift
levers with all cables attached) packed beside the bike. After you removed all packaging, this assembly
will be loose.
Two packaging methods are used: (A) stem is attached to steering tube. With this method you will install
the handlebars using the face plate on the stem. (B) Stem is attached to the handlebars and a cardboard
spacer is on the steering tube. With this method you will install the handlebar/stem assembly.
On a bike with disc brakes, do not pull the brake levers before the front wheel with the brake rotor is
installed. Doing so may push the brake pads out of position.
