| 1. Write down serial number of the handlebar, can be found on the inside of
the handlebar.
---|---
| 2. Place masking tape around the area to be cutted.
| 3. Gently cut the handlebar to desired length with a fine blade (for
instance used for cutting metal.
| 4. Remove all sharp edges with a small file (0,5mm maximal) use flat area
for outer diameter and round area for inner diameter.
| 5. Gently remove the masking tape.
| 6. Inspect the handlebar if any fractures would appear.
| 7. Report back to [email protected] if
any damage appears.
| 1. Gently rub carbon paste around the mid-section of the handlebar.
---|---
| 2. Mount the handlebar in the middle of stem and tighten the screws (hand-
tight).
| 3. Place the handlebar in correct upper position.
| 4. Tighten cross-section of the bolts. Do not exceed this parameter of 5Nm.
Please be advised 3.5Nm should be sufficient to secure the handlebar. Smaller
bolts can require less torque 1.5 to 2Nm
| 5. Report back to [email protected] if any
damage appears.
| 6. Remove any excessive carbon paste.
| 7. Place the grips/brakes/shifters in position, if there is too much
friction, please use a non-aggressive lubricant (water-based).
| 8. Tighten the grips to max 2.5Nm. 1.5Nm should be sufficient to secure the
grips.
