3. Bike assembly
This chapter aims at helping you remove your bike from the ROSE bike box and re-assemble it.
Depending on the bike model, different components may have been removed or repositioned for shipping. In
addition, you have to fit the pedals and check whether your bike is in a roadworthy condition.
DANGER
Improperly installed components can cause serious crashes!
Any improperly installed components could loosen during the ride!
• Always follow the installation instructions included in this manual.
• If in doubt, please consult the ROSE Service Team or a qualified bicycle mechanic.
3.1 Required tools
Depending on bike model and equipment, you will need the following tools for assembly:
• 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm hex wrench
• Torque wrench with a 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm and 8 mm hex drive
• 15 mm open-ended spanner
3.2 Straightening the handlebar and adjusting the steering play
CAUTION
The adjusting bolt for the steering play (1) does not serve to tighten the stem, but only to adjust the play in the
steering bearing!
1. Loosen the stem clamp bolt(s) (2) with a hex wrench. Do not
loosen the adjusting bolt for the steering play (1).
2. Turn the handlebar through 90 degrees and align it with the
front wheel.

3. Check the steering bearing for play by pulling the front brake and trying to push the bike gently backwards and
forwards.
→ There must be no play.
4. If you feel any movement inside the headset, tighten the adjusting screw for the steering play (1) a quarter turn.
5. Check the headset once again for play and repeat the previous steps, if need be, until there is no more play
inside the bearing.
If in doubt, seek professional advice from a qualified bicycle mechanic.
6. Tighten the stem clamp bolt(s) (2) alternately. For the required tightening torque see the stem of your bike or
chapter "7.4 Torques" on page 48.
