Race Face XC STEM Manual Del Usuario

CoMPRESSIoN GAP
2.0 mm Min - 3.0 mm Max
Warning Do Not Exceed
3.0 mm GAP
TooLS REQUIRED:
4mm & 5mm allen (hex) keys, Torque wrench
STEER TUBE PREPARATIoN:
1) Raceface stems are designed to fit 1.125" (28.6 mm) or 1.50" (31.8 mm) threadless fork steer tubes only.
2) Raceface stem installation requires a 2.0 mm (0.079") minimum compression gap between top surface of stem /
spacers and the top of fork steer tube to ensure adequate clamping surface. See Detail A

Note: bolt torques are laser etched directly onto most Raceface stems.
INSTALLATIoN:
1) Make sure that there are no sharp burrs on the top outside edge of the steer tube. File or sand to remove if
necessary. Install all headset components and optional spacers onto the steer tube. It is very important to make
sure the steer tube is clean and dry (No grease).
2) Slide the stem onto the steer tube. Some back and forth rotation may required to slide the stem down until it
touches the headset spacers. Ensure Carbon or Aluminum steer tubes are not scratched or damaged. Optional
spacers may be added/ removed to ensure compression gap is correct.
3) Install the headset "top cap" and "compression bolt" on top of the stem. Adjust the headset pre-load as per the
headset manufactures specifications. (Typically until all "play" is removed, but rotation is still smooth).
4) Remove the steer tube clamp bolts and lightly grease the bolt threads and under the bolt head. Line the stem
up straight with the front tire, re-install and tighten both Steer Tube Clamp bolts to recommended torque using
appropriate allen key. See chart!
5) before riding check that all bolts are tight and properly installed. Perform a twist test by clamping the front
wheel between your legs and twist the stem using the handlebars. The stem should not twist, if necessary
increase the torque to the maximum level indicated on the stem.
6) Remove all handlebar clamp (faceplate) bolts, place your bar into the clamp. Lightly grease the bolt threads
and under the bolt head. Re-install Handle bar Clamp and bar Clamp bolts, and tighten bolts to recommended
install torque using appropriate size allen key. See Chart! Alternate between the four bolts in a cross pattern until
torque setting is achieved. Check to ensure that the gap between the Handlebar Clamp and stem body is even
between the top and bottom (approx. 0.5-1.0 mm depending on stem model).

WARNING:
Strictly adhere to the following. Failure to do so could result in pre-mature failure of the part which could affect the
rider's control of the bicycle and result in serious injury.
1) All bolts used on Raceface stems are minimum grade 10.9. Warning! Do not substitute with inferior lower
strength hardware. Warning! Do not use shorter bolt lengths. Full thread engagement is required. If replacement
is required contact you Raceface dealer or [email protected] for exact bolt specifications.
2) "Headset Top Cap" and "Headset Compression bolt" must be left in place at all times during operation of the
bicycle. These components assist retention of headset adjustment.
3) Warning! Lightweight aluminum and carbon handlebars and/or steer tubes can be damaged by excessive
clamping force. Check other manufacturers instructions. Use of a torque wrench is recommended.
PRoDUCT
MAINTENANCE:
RESPoND
RIDE, EVoLVE xC 1) Check hardware periodically for tightness. Use caution not to over-tighten.
DEUS, DEUS SL
2) Inspect all parts of the stem periodically, including bolts for damage or cracks. This is a good idea with any
TURBINE
and all lightweight aluminum bike parts. This is especially important after any crash. If you notice anything
suspicious, have your Raceface dealer inspect it for you or replace it.
3) Periodically apply a light film of grease to all bolt threads and the underside of bolt heads. Take care to keep
steer tube and steer tube clamp area clean and free from grease.
WARRANTY:
1) Raceface stems carry a limited warranty for defects in materials and workmanship, and warranty period may
vary by stem model. Contact your Raceface dealer or [email protected] for more detailed information.
2) This warranty is limited to the original purchaser. Proof of purchase is required. This can take the form of a
photocopy of the original sales receipt.
3) This warranty does not cover defects arising from misuse, abuse, alterations, lack of preventative maintenance
and routine maintenance of failure to install according to the instructions and proper procedures.
4) Raceface warranties do not cover fading of colours.
