Bear in mind that by overtightening the bolts
the stem can crush the steerer tube. In par-
ticular, models with a carbon fork steerer
tube react very sensitively to overloading as a result
of overtightening the shaft clamp at the stem. Risk of
breakage! Make sure the clamping area is absolutely
free of grease when any of the clamping faces is made
of carbon. If, necessary, use carbon assembly paste in
the clamping areas to ensure maximum clamping.

Check the secure seat of the stem by taking
the front wheel between your legs and trying
to turn the handlebars and stem relative to
the wheel

Never change the preloading mechanism in
the inside of the fork steerer tube. Never in-
stall a star nut in carbon fork steerer tubes.

There can be several reasons why the bear-
