Assembly to handlebar stem

(for specialized dealers only)

Loosen the stem clamp bolt and slide the handlebar – stem unit assembly from the top onto the fork steerer. Align the handlebar in the center. To increase the handlebar’s resistance to twisting, you can use a suitable carbon assembly paste.
Tighten the screws at the handlebar clamp to maximum 8 Nm. Higher torques can damage the product and create a safety risk for the rider and others.

Assembly of brake, speed change and additional levers, screw handles (only for specialized dealers)
Before starting the assembly, check to be sure that the clamping diameter of the clamps fits the MTB handlebar. It must also be ensured that the clamping unit you use is compatible with carbon handlebars. Read the use instructions of the brake lever manufacturer before you start the assembly. Remove all sharp edges and burrs or other impurities at the clamping unit before the installation. The MTB handlebar must be clean and free of grease. Adhesive, if any, should be removed before assembly can start. Slacken the relevant clamps and push them sideways over the handlebar. Place the clamp where you want it making sure that the clamp is installed only in the target range of clamping. Fasten the clamps so that they just cannot be turned by hand. Do not overtighten.

Tighten the clamping screw of bake, speed change and additional levers to maximum 2.5 Nm. If you tighten more, the handlebar can be damaged, which is a dramatic safety risk for the rider and for others. Screw handles should be fitted inside and outside to maximum 2.5 Nm.

In use

Check all screws for proper torque regularly. If necessary, have the tightening torque adjusted to the maximum permitted torque by a specialized dealer. Make regular checks of the handlebar and the mounted parts to be sure that they do not turn easily.
