Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Bontrager Comp Stem requires a calibrated torque wrench to ensure the M5 bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Always apply a thin layer of carbon assembly paste when installing carbon handlebars or steerers to increase friction and prevent slippage. When setting up the Blendr system, verify that you have the correct Blendr base plate that matches your desired accessory model. For maintenance, check the bolt torque periodically, especially if you ride in wet or muddy conditions, and wipe down the faceplate area to remove grit that may cause creaking.
