   • Consider the rise variant (15mm, 30mm, or 45mm) of your specific 3OX handlebar for optimal riding posture.
4. Tighten Stem Faceplate Bolts:
   • Apply a small amount of grease to the stem faceplate bolt threads if recommended by your stem manufacturer.
   • Tighten the faceplate bolts gradually and evenly in a cross pattern (if applicable) to the torque specification provided by your stem manufacturer. Refer to the torque values printed on your stem or in its manual. Do not exceed 8 Nm (Newton-meters) unless explicitly stated by your stem manufacturer.
   • Ensure there is an even gap between the stem faceplate and the stem body (if applicable) to prevent uneven clampالضغط المتزايد.
