Compatibility
Guarantee / Crash Replacement
Sixpack components are designed for the following categories according to
ASTM F2043:
• MILLENIUM and EJ Stem: Category 5
Category 5: Extreme use (downhill, freeride, dirt)
Category 5 includes the use of bikes and their components under the
conditions of categories 1, 2, 3 and 4 as well as in demanding, heavily blocked
and extremely steep terrain, which can only be mastered by technically
experienced and very well trained riders. In this category, big jumps are
to be expected as well as intensive use in bike parks or on downhill tracks.
With these bikes it is essential to ensure that after each ride an intensive
check for possible damage is carried out. Pre-damages can lead to failure
even if further stresses are signicantly lower. A regular replacement of
safety-relevant components should also be considered. Wearing appropriate
protective gear is absolutely essential. Long travel full-suspension bikes but
also dirt bikes characterize this category.
• The tightening torque of the stem must not be exceeded.
• Additionally, check the handlebar manufacturer's instructions for
specic provisions. In particular, the tightening torque may be
restricted by the handlebar manufacturer.
• The assembly sequence must be observed. The clamping points
labeled "NO GAP" must be tightened rst.
• Do not use grease or other lubricants to mount the stem.

Mounting the stem
Clean and degrease the clamping surface of the handlebar and stem.
Put the stem on the steerer tube.
The stem must protrude 2 to 3 mm above the steerer tube.
Completely unscrew the upper and lower screws of the handlebar
clamp and remove the handlebar clamp.
Install the headset cap and lightly tighten the headset clearance
adjustment screw.
Slide the handlebar clamp from the side onto the handlebar.
To make it easier to slide on, the handlebar clamp must be rotated
90° downwards and pushed onto the handlebar.

Adjust the headset clearance according to the headset
manufacturer's specications.
Tighten the screws of the steerer tube clamp (C) alternately until
the torque of 6 Nm is reached.
7Adjust the handlebar according to your needs.
Attach the handlebar and the handlebar clamp and turn the
handlebar clamp screws in slightly.
First tighten the upper screws of the handlebar clamp (A)
with 6 Nm.

Check that the handlebar is securely fastened. If you have any doubts
or questions, you must seek the help of a trained bicycle mechanic or
the Sixpack Service!

Then tighten the lower screws of the handlebar clamp (B) with 6
Nm. It is possible that the handlebar manufacturer species a
lower torque.

• Replace your stem in case of deformations or deep scratches!
• After a heavy crash, overstressing of the stem and thus a
reduction in mechanical strength is possible. This can lead
to subsequent stem failure and serious accidents with high
potential for injury or death.
• We recommend replacing the stem after heavy crashes.
• If you have any doubts or questions, you must seek the help of a
trained bicycle mechanic or the Sixpack Service!werden.
DANGER
Risk of accident due to damaged or
broken stem!
After a crash
The following activities must be carried out regularly:
• Check the tightening torque of all screws regularly and retighten to
the specic torque if necessary.
• Clean stem regularly with clear water or mild detergent. Observe the
application recommendations of the cleaner used.
• Check stem regularly for cracks, deformation, discoloration or other
signs of damage. A damaged stem must not be used any further!
• If you have any doubts or questions, you must seek the help of a
trained bicycle mechanic or the Sixpack Service!
