aren’t absolutely sure which type of stem your bike has, ask your Xtracycle dealer or any bike shop.
If your bike has a “threadless” stem your dealer may be able to change handlebar height by moving
height adjustment spacers from below the stem to above the stem, or vice versa. Otherwise, you’ll have to
getastemofdifferentlengthorrise.Consultyourdealer.Donotattempttodothisyourself,asitrequires
special knowledge.
  Ifyourbikehasa“quill”stemyoucanaskyourdealertoadjustthehandlebarheightabitby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 it. 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.
WARNING:Aninsufcientlytightenedstemclampbolt,handlebarclampboltorbarend
extension clamping bolt may compromise steering action, which could cause you to lose
control and fall. Place the front wheel of the bicycle between your legs and attempt to twist the
handlebar/stem assembly. If you can twist the stem in relation to the front wheel, turn the
handlebars in relation to the stem, or turn the bar end extensions in relation to the handlebar, the
boltsareinsufcientlytightened.
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(Seeappendix).
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adjustthereachortshorterreachbrakelevers.
