WARNING: Changes in handlebar height and stem length may affect
the adjustment of your brakes and controls. Before riding, check their
functionality and readjust them when necessary.
A licensed bicycle mechanic can also change the angle of the handlebar,
or install a different-style handlebar. Due to light routing requirements, the
handlebar must be
⌀25.4mm at the clamp.
WARNING: If you want to ensure steering control of the bicycle, always
check for an insufficiently tightened stem bolt, stem binder bolt, or stem
faceplate binder bolt. With the front wheel between your legs, twist
the handlebar or stem assembly. If there is radial play in the stem or
play in the handlebars in relation to the stem, tighten the bolts to their
designated torque (See Torque Specifications on p.75) before riding.
CONTROLS & BRAKE LEVER ADJUSTMENTS
If you have trouble reaching the brake levers, selector, and shifter controls, you
can change their angle or position. Have a licensed bicycle professional make
placement suggestions and adjustments for you. If you are make your own
adjustments, follow the torque specifications (p.75) when re-tightening and
securing.
WARNING: The adjustment of the brakes becomes all the more critical
if you shorten the reach of the levers. Full braking power needs to occur
before the levers are fully depressed. If your brakes are improperly
adjusted, you may lose control, resulting in serious injury or death.
