Adjusting The Height Of The Handlebars And The Headset - Commencal RAMONES KIDS Instruction And Maintenance Manual

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE HANDLEBARS
AND THE HEADSET
Adjusting the height of the handlebars allows you to adapt your position
depending on the level of comfort you are looking for. The higher the handle
bars, the more your chest and back are upright for better comfort. If you
lower the handlebar height, you increase your pedaling efficiency due to
better aerodynamics, although it is less comfortable.
WARNING! It is essential that you keep all the spacers originally mounted on the
fork steerer tube. Adding or removing these spacers can lead to serious reliability
problems for your bicycle, and your safety.
WARNING! All our bicycles are fitted with a headsets. With this system, the headset
is pre-adjusted via the stem, so any adjustment to the height of the handlebars
means the headset needs to be adjusted as well. This is a delicate operation and
requires a bit of experience.
HOW TO ADJUST THE HEIGHT OF THE HANDLEBARS
AND THE HEADSET
1. Unscrew the main headset adjustment bolt found at the top of the
steerer tube A (fig.4). Remove it, as well as the stem plug.
2. Loosen the lateral bolts of stem B (fig.4). Do this by alternating between
the bolts, a quarter turn each time, to facilitate the operation.
3. If your bike has a dual crown fork, loosen the upper crown as well A
(fig.5).
