the spline system. The bolt may be loosened to relieve tension in the stem assembly. The

Q. FOOTREST HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the height of your footrest, loosen the screw (B) on both footrest clamps. Slide the
footrest up or down to the new desired height and tighten the two set screws. Use a MAX
torque setting of 62 in-lbs (7 Nm). (Frame damage may occur if overtightened.) It is recom-
mended that you maintain a minimum of 2.0 inches (5 cm) between the lowest point on the
footrest and the floor. This will provide adequate clearance for uneven surfaces and prevent
damage to your footrest.
