INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Install the extensions in the desired position and tighten the extension fixing bolt so they are held snugly.
- Install the shifters (if using bar end models) as per the shifter manufacturer’s instructions. We recommend a light coating of the assembly compound on the inside of the extension before installing the shifter.
- Install the cables as per instructions from the shifter manufacturer.
- Check the placement of the brackets and extensions then use a torque wrench to tighten the extension clamp.
HOW TO CUT THE EXTENSIONS
- Carefully determine the required extension length by performing a bike fit or measuring the existing extensions.
- Mark the point at which you wish to cut.
- We recommend checking your measurements after first marking the cut line to ensure that you do not inadvertently cut the extensions too short.
- Mount the cutting guide securely in a vice. Then place the extension in the guide and line up the marked cut line with the slot in the cutting guide.
- For carbon, a 32T or carbon-specific blade is recommended. Wrap the extension with insulation tape at the cut line to limit the risk of splintering the carbon at the blade exit point.
- If cutting carbon, wear a breathing mask, gloves and eye protection then dispose of the dust residue carefully. Airborne dust particles are a respiratory hazard.
- For Aluminum an 18T blade is recommended.
- Using the hacksaw, make firm strokes of the blade through the guide, allowing the blade to do the work. Do not apply excessive force to the hacksaw as you risk snapping the blade and the possibility of injury.
- Repeat the process for the second extension.
- Once you have cut both extensions, use the half-round file to remove any sharp edges from both the interior and exterior faces of the extension. A deburring tool may be used on Aluminum extensions (not Carbon).
