CYKL Team Advice
For a perfectly integrated installation, pair the stem with a Ritchey Switch headset for a clean, streamlined look and neat cable routing. Apply a torque of 5 N·m (M5 bolts) to the handlebar and steerer tube clamps. A thin layer of assembly paste is recommended to protect the aluminum and prevent cracking.
