Attaching a BMX stem is straightforward, and our simple video tutorial doubles the ease for fitting a Freestyle BMX stem:
- Slide the stem onto the fork, ensuring there's a gap that will allow the top cap to compress the stem onto the headset.
- If no gap is present, or if it's less than 2-3mm, introduce a spacer between the headset and stem.
- Grease the threads of your top cap and secure it using an Allen key.
- Align both the front wheel and stem, then tighten the side bolts of the stem.
- Gradually alternate tightening the side bolts to ensure even fastening.
Voilà! Your stem is in place, and now you are ready to attach your handlebars!
