adjusting stem height.
A quill stem has an etched or stamped mark on its shaft which designates the
stem’s “Minimum Insertion” or “Maximum Extension”. This mark must not be
visible above the headset.
WARNING: A quill stem’s Minimum Insertion Mark must not be
visible above the top of the headset. If the stem is extended beyond
the Minimum Insertion Mark the stem may break or damage the fork’s
steerer tube, which could cause you to lose control and fall.
WARNING: On some bicycles, changing the stem or stem height can
affect the tension of the front brake cable, locking the front brake or
creating excess cable slack which can make the front brake
inoperable. If the front brake pads move in towards the wheel rim or out
away from the wheel rim when the stem or stem height is changed, the
brakes must be correctly adjusted before you ride the bicycle.
Some bicycles are equipped with an adjustable angle stem. If your bicycle
has an adjustable angle stem, ask your dealer to show you how to adjust if. Do
not attempt to make the adjustment yourself, as changing stem angle may also
require adjustments to the bicycle’s controls.
WARNING: Always tighten fasteners to the correct torque. Bolts that
are too tight can stretch and deform. Bolts that are too loose can
move and fatigue. Either mistake can lead to a sudden failure of the
bolt, causing you to lose control and fall.
Your dealer can also change the angle of the handlebar or bar end extensions.

D. Control position adjustments
The angle of the brake and shift control levers and their position on the
handlebars can be changed. Ask your dealer to make the adjustments for you.
If you choose to make your own control lever angle adjustment, be sure to re-
tighten the clamp fasteners to the recommended torque (Appendix D or the
manufacturer’s instructions).
E. Brake reach
Many bikes have brake levers which can be adjusted for reach. If you have
small hands or nd it difcult to squeeze the brake levers, your dealer can either
