Handlebar Position / Adjusting The Stem; Setting Up The Brake Levers - Argon 18 E-Road Operation Manual

Handlebar position / adjusting the stem

For detailed information, please
read the operating instructions sup-
plied by the manufacturer.
Only specialists should work on
your handlebars and stem.
Various types of stem are used on pedelecs:
Threadless stem
STOP
Height adjustment possible
Changing the position of the stem
also changes the position of the
handlebars. You should always be
able to safely reach and use grips and con-
trols. Please ensure that all cables and lines
are long enough to allow you to turn the han-
dlebars in every possible way.
A-head stems
Height change possible as follows:
• Exchange of fitted spacers under or above the
stem
• Turning of the stem
• Exchange of the stem
Quill stem
Adjustment of stem tilt possible

Setting up the brake levers

The brake levers should be set up
so that your hands can
safely and comfortably apply them.
Please familiarise yourself with which lever oper-
ates which brake!
Check the position of the brake le-
vers before your first ride. In derail-
leur gear systems, the left brake le-
ver on the handlebars generally operates
the front wheel brake. If you would like to
swap the position of the brake levers on the
handlebars, please contact a specialist re-
tailer to do the work.
In order to be able
to apply the brake
lever if you have
smaller hands, in
some models it is
possible to position
the
closer to the handle-
bars using special equipment.
For more on this, please read the enclosed in-
structions from the component manufacturer. Set
up the brake levers so they do not touch the han-
dlebar grip even when they are applied to their
fullest extent!
