How do I straighten the handlebars on my new Giant AnyTour X E+ 3 (2024)?
Hi everyone,
I’ve just received a new Giant AnyTour X E+ 3 (2024), and the handlebars were shipped turned 90 degrees, parallel to the bike frame.
I’m trying to rotate the whole handlebar/stem assembly so that the handlebars are perpendicular to the frame and aligned correctly with the front wheel, but I can’t figure out which bolt I’m supposed to loosen.
The bike has an integrated adjustable stem. I can see the large side bolt marked “Angle adjust 14–15 Nm”, but as I understand it, this bolt is only for adjusting the stem angle, not for rotating the handlebars.
There also seems to be some kind of cover/access point on the stem, but I don’t want to force or remove anything without knowing what I’m doing.
Does anyone know this specific stem or bike model and can tell me exactly how to rotate the handlebars into the correct position?
I’ll add photos of the stem and the access points.
Thanks!
