ADJUSTMENT OF VBRAKE LEVER REACH
Riders with small hands can adjust the brake
lever closer to the handlebar:
• Where the brake cable enters the brake
lever there is a small screw. Tighten the
screw until the desired reach is achieved.
• Now check whether there is enough
free travel of the lever before the brake
engages. If this is not the case, the brake
cable can be adjusted (see page 20).
BRAKE LEVER ROTATION
Loosen the Allen bolts on the brake lever
handlebar clamp.
• Sit on the saddle and put your fingers on
the brake lever. Then twist the brake levers
until your hand and forearm form a
straight line.
• Tighten the bolts on the brake lever
handlebar clamp to a torque setting of
5 – 6 Nm.
BAR ENDS
These provide an additional grip position.
They are usually set so that the hands fit
comfortably on it when the rider is leaning
slightly forward. The bar ends are typically
set at approximately 25 degrees
to horizontal direction.
DANGER!
The brake lever should not touch
the handlebar before full braking
is achieved!
DANGER!
The bolts on the stem, handle-
bar, grips and bar ends must be
tightened to the specied torque
settings. The corresponding
values can be found on page 78.
If bolts are not tightened to the
correct specication it may
cause the parts to loosen or
break which may lead to serious
accidents.
