Handlebar Height And Angle - Giant momentum Anleitung

WARNING: After any saddle adjustment, be sure that the saddle adjustment mechanism is properly
tightened before riding. A loose saddle clamp or seat post binder can cause damage to the seat post, or
cam cause you to lose control and fall. A correctly tightened saddle adjusting mechanism will allow no
saddle movement in any direction. Periodically check to make sure that the saddle adjusting mechanism
is properly tightened.
WARNING: Tightening the aluminum bolt too tightly may cause it fail whilst riding with the result of
the saddle coming loose. In case of any doubt: have the bolt checked by your local dealer!
If, in spite of carefully adjusting the saddle height, tilt and fore-and-aft position, your saddle is still
uncomfortable, you may need a different saddle design. Saddles, like people, come in different shapes, sizes
and resilience. Your dealer can help you select a saddle, which when correctly adjusted for your body and riding
style, will be comfortable.
WARNING: Some people have claimed that extended riding with a saddle which is incorrectly
adjusted or which does not support your pelvic area correctly can cause short-term or long-term injury
to nerves and blood vessels, or even impotence. If your saddle causes you pain, numbness or other
discomfort, listen to your body and stop riding until you see your dealer about saddle adjustment or a
different saddle.
C. Handlebar height and angle
Your bike is equipped either with a "threadless" stem, which clamps on
to the outside of the steerer tube, or with a "quill" stem, which clamps
inside the steerer tube by way of an expanding binder bolt. If you aren't
absolutely sure which type of stem your bike has, ask your dealer.
If your bike has a "threadless" stem (fig. 6) 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 (fig. 7) 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 if. 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.
