Using your Defy Mountain Bike Stem is easy. First, make sure your bike is on a stable surface. Loosen the bolts on the stem using an appropriate Allen key. Slide the stem onto the steerer tube of your bike and align it with the front wheel. Then, insert your handlebars into the bar clamp area and adjust them to your preferred position. Tighten all the bolts firmly but don't over - tighten as it can damage the stem or the components. When you're out on the trail, be aware that the internal steerer clamp is there to protect your knees, so ride with confidence. For maintenance, regularly check the tightness of the bolts to ensure everything stays secure. Clean the stem with a mild soap and water solution and dry it thoroughly to prevent rust, especially if you've been riding in wet conditions. Store your bike in a dry place when not in use to keep the stem in good shape.
