If you need to adjust the angle of your handlebar, you can do this by loosening the long nut
clamping nut. that passes through to the wedge The handlebars will then rotate freely in the fork. Adjust to desired
angle, and ensuring the bar is still centred in the stem, tighten the central bolt that passes through the stem to the wedge

the steerer tube, by turning it anti-clockwise with an Allen key.
You can then insert or adjust the stem. You can rotate it left to right and you can also adjust the height. It is very important
that you observe the minimum insertion mark found on the stem and that you insert the stem beyond this. This must not be visible once the stem is in fork

it may be easier to readjust this with the front wheel fitted, so the stem is in line with the wheel
