Bar ends give you additional ways of gripping the handlebars.
They are usually fixed in a position that gives the rider a comfortable grip (a)
when pedalling out of the saddle, i.e. almost parallel to the ground or tilted slightly
upwards.
Release the bolts, which are usually located on the underside of the bar ends, by
one to two complete turns.
Turn the bar ends to the desired position making sure that the angle is the same on
both sides (b). Retighten the bolts to the required torque (c).
Check whether the bar ends are firmly fixed by trying to twist them out of posi-
tion.
Note that the distance you need to stop your bike increases, while riding
with the hands on bar ends. The brake levers are not handy in all handle-
bar positions.
Keep in mind that not all handlebars are suitable for being equipped with
bar ends. Ask your FELT dealer for advice.

Note that the bolted connections of the handlebars and bar ends have to
be tightened to their specified torques. You will find the prescribed values
in the chapter “Recommended torques for bolted connections“, in the
enclosed manuals or directly on the part.
