Assembly and safety instructions for
Stem BARRACUDA i, HIGH BARRACUDA i
Thank you for deciding to buy your new stem from our company.
Compare the SAFETY LEVEL on the stem with the attached table
in order to check whether it is suitable for the intended use.
Before fitting the stem make sure that it is suitable for the
maximum permitted overall weight of the bike. You will find the
relevant information in the product description, or it can be
obtained from the bicycle manufacturer.
Before using the product please read the following assembly
and safety instructions carefully. Keep these instructions in a safe
place and if necessary pass them on to the next owner.
Assembly
Assembly and fitting require the relevant technical knowledge and skills. If you do
not have these, please contact a specialist bicycle dealer.
Before assembly please check that the inner diameter of the Ahead stem
clamp (28.6 mm) matches the outer diameter of the steer tube. There are
2 different sizes here:
with 1" steer tube: external diameter 25.4 mm and
with 1 1/8" steer tube: external diameter 28.6 mm.
The inner diameter of the stem clamp must match the outer diameter of the
steer tube.
You should also check the clamping length of the steer tube. This has to be
38 - 40 mm.
Then place the stem into the steer tube and adjust it in such a way that it is
aligned with the front wheel.
For safety reasons the stem should never be combined with
a carbon steer tube – risk of breakage.
For safety reasons the steer tube must not be more than 2 mm
shorter than the stem clamp.
With a 6 mm hexagonal key you now lightly tighten the two tube clamping
screws c .
With a 4 mm hexagonal key you next loosen the handlebar clamping
d f
screws and remove the handlebar clamp .
For safety reasons the stem should never be combined with
carbon handlebars – risk of breakage.
You should also make sure that the clamping surfaces are clean
and free from grease.
Before assembly, check the length of the clamping area on the handlebars.
This must be at least 46 mm long.
Then insert the clamping area of the handlebars centrally into the handlebar
e f
clamp of the stem and fix the handlebar clamp lightly into position.
Now adjust the grip ends or the handlebar position to your requirements.
Then use a 4 mm hexagonal key and tighten first the two upper handlebar
d
clamping screws and then the two lower handlebar clamping screws
d evenly to a tightening torque of 6 - 8 Nm. Make sure that the upper part
of the handlebar clamp is in contact with the stem !
For safety reasons the max. tightening value of 8 Nm
must not be exceeded.
With a 5 mm hexagonal key you now fit the setting screw for the steering
g
bearings and adjust any play on the bearings. Please also comply with the
fitting and safety instructions of the manufacturer of the steering bearings.
After you have set the play on the bearings, you evenly tighten the tube
c
clamping screws to a tightening value of 16 -18 Nm.
Then you close the opening for the setting screw for the steering bearings
h
with the plug .

Safety instructions

The tightness of the screws should be checked after approx. 500 km and then
regularly as part of the regular service, but at least once a year.
You should not attach any additional equipment such as a child's seat
or a luggage rack to the stem. This could lead to excessive strain and
as a result to the breaking of the stem.
In order to avoid a fall or an accident, the stem must always be replaced
if it is damaged in any way.
