SPECIALIZED AERO STEM:
12. Determine the desired stem length of 60 or 90mm (longer 80 / 110mm stem available separately) and install the carbon aero handlebar

with the handlebar position wedge

.
TECH TIP:
If the stem length is not yet determined, it’s recommended to start at the 90mm (or 110mm) position. Changing the stem from the
60mm to 90mm (or 80mm to 110mm) position will require that the cable housings be replaced with longer ones to accommodate the additional
stem length. It’s easier to trim cable housings to a shorter length if adjusting from the 90mm to the 60mm (or 110mm to 80mm) position.

13. Apply grease to the bolts, then install the stem’s upper section

and four bolts

(M6x32mm, 4mm countersunk Allen hex head).
14. Alternate the torque to the stem bolts in 5 in-lbf (0.6 Nm) increments, up to a final torque setting of 80 in-lbf (9.0 Nm), to ensure an even load
distribution to the handlebar.
