Assembly and safety instructions for
Stem BARRACUDA i, HIGH BARRACUDA i – with adjuster
Thank you for deciding to buy your new stem from our company.
Compare the SAFETY LEVEL on the stem with the attached table
in order to check whether it is suitable for the intended use.
Before fitting the stem make sure that it is suitable for the
maximum permitted overall weight of the bike. You will find the
relevant information in the product description, or it can be
obtained from the bicycle manufacturer.
Before using the product please read the following assembly
and safety instructions carefully. Keep these instructions in a safe
place and if necessary pass them on to the next owner.
Assembly
Assembly and fitting require the relevant technical knowledge and skills. If you do
not have these, please contact a specialist bicycle dealer.
Before assembly please check that the inner diameter of the Ahead stem
clamp (28.6 mm) matches the outer diameter of the steer tube.
There are 2 different sizes here:
with 1" steer tube: external diameter 25.4 mm and
with 1 1/8" steer tube: external diameter 28.6 mm.
The inner diameter of the stem clamp must match the outer diameter of the
steer tube.
You should also check the clamping length of the steer tube. This has to be
42 + 14 mm, including the bearing adjustment ring.
c
Then place the steering bearing adjustment mechanism on the steer tube
with the protruding thread at the top.
You now place the stem into the steer tube and on the thread of the steering
bearing adjustment mechanism c , and adjust it in such a way that it is
aligned with the front wheel.
For safety reasons the stem should never be combined with
a carbon steer tube – risk of breakage.
For safety reasons the steer tube must not be more than 2 mm
shorter than the stem clamp.
With a 6 mm hexagonal key you now lightly tighten the two tube clamping
i
screws to a tightness value of 16 -18 Nm.
With a 4 mm hexagonal key you next loosen the handlebar clamping
screws e and remove the handlebar clamp j .
For safety reasons the stem should never be combined with
carbon handlebars – risk of breakage.
You should also make sure that the clamping surfaces are clean
and free from grease.
Before assembly, check the length of the clamping area on the handlebars.
This must be at least 46 mm long.
Then insert the clamping area of the handlebars centrally into the handlebar
d j
clamp of the stem and fix the handlebar clamp lightly into position.
Now adjust the grip ends or the handlebar position to your requirements.
Then use a 4 mm hexagonal key and tighten first the two upper handlebar
e
clamping screws and then the two lower handlebar clamping screws
e evenly to a tightening torque of 6 - 8 Nm. Make sure that the upper part
of the handlebar clamp is in contact with the stem !
For safety reasons the max. tightening value of 8 Nm
must not be exceeded.
Next you adjust the play on the steering bearings. Hold the lower ring
g
with a 36 mm open-ended spanner. Turn the upper ring counterclockwise
with a second 36 mm open-ended spanner until there is no more play. Please
also observe the installation and safety instructions of the manufacturer of the
steering bearings.
h
To secure the upper ring, tighten grub screw to a tightness value of
2 Nm with a 2 mm hexagonal key.
Note: In order not to damage the rings during the setting operation, the following
points should be observed:
Grub screw h must be loosened until it does not rest on the thread and the
rings can be turned freely.
The setting should only be made when the vehicle is stationary and not
suspended.
f
If the steering bearing has its own clamping system, this must be released
before the setting is made.
Please also observe the mounting and safety instructions of the steering bearing
manufacturer.

Safety instructions

The tightness of the screws should be checked after approx. 500 km and then
regularly as part of the regular service, but at least once a year.
You should not attach any additional equipment such as a child's seat
or a luggage rack to the stem. This could lead to excessive strain and
as a result to the breaking of the stem.
In order to avoid a fall or an accident, the stem must always be replaced
if it is damaged in any way.
