3. Test the tightness of the handlebar
Hold the bicycle stationary
and try to move the ends of the handlebar forward or backward.
If the handlebar moves, loosen bolts of handlebar clamps.
Put the handlebar in the correct position.
Tighten the bolts of the handlebar clamp tighter than before.
If the handlebar clamp has more than one bolt, tighten the bolts
equally.
Do this test again, until the handlebar does not move in the
handlebar clamp.
2. Test the tightness of the stem:
Straddle the front wheel and hold it between your legs.
Try to turn the front wheel by turning the handlebar. If the
handlebar and the stem turn without turning the front wheel,
realign the stem with the front wheel.
Tighten the bolt tighter than you did before (about half a revolution
only at a time).
Do this test again, until the handlebar and the stem do not turn
without turning the wheel.
