Royce Union bicycles first appeared in the United States in the early 1970s. TLike other bicycles, handlebar height is adjusted by raising the handlebar stem, which connects the handlebar to the steering column. Depending on their vintage, Royce Union bikes will employ either a threaded or threadless handlebar stem. Threaded stems screw into the steering column. Threadless stems clamp onto the steering column.
Step Two
Use the 5 mm Allen key and turn the expander bolt counterclockwise. Two turns will be fine. Raise the stem to the required height. Be sure that at least 2 inches of stem extend down into the steering column.
Step Three
Check that the stem and front wheel are perfectly in line. Turn the stem to the left or right as needed. Tighten the expander bolt, using the Allen wrench.
Step Four
Threadless Handlebar Stem - Locate the two clamp bolts attaching the stem to the steering column. Use the 3 mm Allen key and turn each bolt clockwise to loosen. It isn't necessary to remove the bolts.
Step Five
Locate the compression bolt on the top center of the stem. Use a 5 mm Allen wrench and turn the bolt clockwise to loosen.
Step Six
Remove the compression bolt fully. Also remove the top cap through which the bolt passes. Lift the stem and handlebar assembly from the steering column.
