Using your Defy Mountain Bike Stem is easy. First, make sure your bike's steerer tube and handlebar are clean. Then, attach the stem to the steerer tube using the internal steerer clamp. Tighten it securely, but don't over - do it. Next, place the handlebar in the wide clamping area and use the Top - Close clamp design to fasten it. Check that everything is aligned properly. When riding, the low stack height will give you a more aerodynamic position. As for maintenance, regularly clean the stem with a mild soap and water solution. Check the clamps for any signs of wear or looseness after every few rides. If you notice any issues, tighten the bolts gently. Store your bike in a dry place to prevent rust on the aluminum parts. Also, be careful not to hit the stem against hard objects as it could damage the CNC machined 6061 Alloy material.
