Installing a BMX Stem: A Guide

Fitting a BMX stem is straightforward, and we've simplified it further with our step-by-step video guide for installing a Freestyle BMX stem:

Position the stem onto the fork and confirm there's a 2-3mm gap to allow the top cap to securely press the stem down onto the headset.
Insert a spacer between the headset and the stem if there's no gap or if it is less than required.
Add grease to your top cap's threads and secure it using an Allen key.
Ensure the front wheel and stem are aligned correctly, then tighten the bolts on the side of the stem.
Gradually tighten the side bolts, alternating between them to ensure uniform tightening.

And there you have it! Your stem is ready, allowing you to proceed with attaching the handlebars!
