Use a 5 mm Allen wrench to loosen both screws on the handlebar clamp.

The screws do not need to be removed completely. It is sufficient if the handlebars can be adjusted freely.

Align the handlebars straight

It's best to hold the front tire between your feet and carefully turn the handlebars to the desired position until the handlebars and front wheel are properly aligned again.

Tighten the clamp again

Next, tighten the two screws on the clamping device evenly again.

Make sure the handlebars stay straight while you tighten the bolts.

When assembling the unit, make sure that all screws are tightened properly and that no cables are pinched or damaged.

Check the result

After reassembly, check to make sure the handlebars and front wheel are aligned again. Also check that the clamp is tight and that the handlebars can no longer be twisted.
