Setup, Compatibility & Care
This stem is compatible with standard 1 1/8 inch (28.6mm) fork steerers. Installation should be performed using a calibrated torque wrench to ensure the titanium screws are tightened to manufacturer specifications to prevent damage to the threads or the stem faceplate. Always apply a thin layer of light grease to the bolt threads during installation to prevent seizing over time. When cleaning your bike, avoid harsh caustic degreasers on the stem's finish and rely on gentle soap and water to maintain the polish-on-black aesthetic. Regularly check the faceplate bolts after the first few rides to ensure they remain properly torqued.
