HANDLEBAR AND HANDLEBAR STEM
The handlebar is designed so that you can enjoy riding your tricycle
without having to bend or lean forward, thus reducing pressure on back
and neck muscles. The position of the handlebar can be adjusted to raise
or lower the grip for maximum comfort.
Handlebar needs to be firmly attached to handlebar stem. You can tilt the
bar forward or backward to adjust to your riding preference.
The stem is attached to the frame head tube by a stem expander bolt. To
adjust the height of the handlebar, loosen the bolt about 3 or 4 turns.
Using a rubber mallet, tap the loosened bolt down to release the expander
wedge from the head tube. You can now raise or lower the stem to the
desired height. When tightening the expander bolt, make sure that the
handlebar is straight and squared with front wheel.
CAUTION: Never raise the stem beyond the maximum level
(insertion mark) stamped on the stem.
HEADSET
As mentioned in the previous page, the headset is a very important part of
the steering mechanism of your bicycle. It distributes weight to the fork
and frame evenly and allows the fork to pivot inside the frame's head tube
freely and with minimum friction.
A typical headset consists of two sets of ball bearings, two bearing cups
attached to each end of the frame's head tube, bearing cones - one
stationary and the other an adjusting cone, a key washer, and a lock nut.
