Using your A35 stem is straightforward. First, make sure your bike's handlebar has a 35mm diameter to fit the stem properly. Use the six high - strength 316 stainless steel custom M5 bolts included to secure the stem to the handlebar. Tighten them evenly to ensure a stable connection. When riding, be aware that the stem has a +9 deg and -9 deg angle, so adjust it according to your riding preference. As for maintenance, keep the stem clean. After riding in wet or muddy conditions, wipe it down with a dry cloth. Periodically check the bolts for tightness. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, replace the stem to ensure your safety.
