C. Handlebar height and angle
Your bike is equipped either with a special Revive adjustable stem, which can be easily adjusted to your height and reach requirements see the
Revive section of this manual for instructions. If you aren’t absolutely sure how to adjust the Revive stem your bike has, ask your dealer.
There are currently two types of Revive Stems, If the stem has an etched or stamped mark on its shaft which designates the stem minimum
Insertion or maximum extension, This mark must not be visible above the headset.
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.
WARNING: The stem 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.
Your dealer can also change the angle of the handlebar or bar end extensions.
WARNING: An insufficiently tightened stem binder bolt, handlebar binder 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 insufficiently tightened.
D. Control Position Adjustments
The angle of the controls and their position on the handlebars can be changed. Ask your dealer to make the adjustments for you.
E. Brake Reach
Many bikes have brake levers which can be adjusted for reach. If you have small hands or find it difficult to squeeze the brake levers, your
dealer can either adjust the reach or fit shorter reach levers.
WARNING: The shorter the brake lever reach is the more critical it is to have correctly adjusted brakes, so that full braking power can
be applied within available brake lever travel. Brake lever travel insufficient to apply full braking power can result in loss of control, which
may result in serious injury or death.
