How do you install a mountain bike stem?
Hi,
I've just received my mountain bike today through the post and its 90% assembled. However, I can't get the stem on.
Now the stem on the bike without the handle bars are fused together. There is a rubber end at the bottom of the stem where its supposed to go into the frame and an allen bolt at the top. Now I took off the allen bolt and it was just one long screw and I have no idea what its purpose is.
Anyway I've tried greasing it, I've tried a rubber mallet, but so far it only goes 1 cm into the frame and then gets stuck because of the rubber end. Can anyone please help me how to install this because I've looked on the internet and I can't find any help or videos.
Yes its a rubber end, but it won't come off if I try to pull it. I dunno if you just have to take it off or what?
