ADJUSTING THE BRAKE LEVERS AND HANDLEBARS
- Undo the Allen bolts at the front or bottom of the stem.
- Move the handlebars into the correct position.
- Check that the handlebars are centered in the stem accurately.
- Tighten the bolts up again to the prescribed amount of torque.
Check that the handlebars are sitting firmly in place by taking hold of both brake levers.
If the handlebars are able to withstand tight jerks of the brake levers they are correctly
set. If not, you should retighten the bolts gently until they are secure and can withstand
hard jerks of the brake levers.
TURNING THE HANDLEBARS TO ADJUST THEIR POSITION
Please review the brake and handlebar supplier instruction manuals for specific procedures,
instructions and warnings.
On all road bikes, the straight bar ends must be either parallel to the ground, or else slanting
slightly down towards the rear of the bike. Imagine a straight line that extends from the straight
extension underneath the drops. The tips of both brake levers should coincide with this imaginary
line. If you want to move the brake levers, we recommend you use a professional to do this job, as
it involves taping up the handlebars again once done.

be parellel to the ground or slightly downwards
