Step 1. Install your handlebars.
A.
Using an Allen wrench, loosen and remove the bolts and faceplate
from the stem. The stem connects the handlebar to the fork. Set the
bolts and faceplate aside together, so you don't lose anything.
B.
Insert the handlebar into the stem and verify the brake hoses and
shift cables wrap around the frame cleanly, without kinks to any of
the lines.
C.
Loosely reattach the faceplate to the stem. Take care to not tighten
one bolt more than another. Your goal is a consistent gap between
the stem and faceplate.
D.
Center the handlebar in the stem using the markings on the bar, then
roll it back into a comfortable position. Lightly hand-tighten the stem
bolts using the Allen key, ensuring there's an even gap between the
stem and faceplate. We'll fully tighten these later.
