2. HANDLEBAR EXTENSION / RISER INSTALLATION
WARNING! Aerobars are attached to the front of your bicycle, and as a result, proper and secure
installation is critical for your safety. Improper installation or adjustment may result in an accident
which can cause serious injury or death.
WARNING! Aerobars can require riding positions that are new or different to many riders, which
may cause you to lose control and fall. Continue to look forward while riding and not down towards
the ground. Practice using these aerobars in a low traffic area to become accustomed to any
changes in the steering or handling of your bicycle.
