Once a month
Check that all the fasteners (screws or bolts) on your aerobar
are tightened correctly:
• Handlebar clamp bolts: 100 lb•in (11.3 N•m)
• Extension tube pinch bolts: 60 lb•in (6.7 N•m)
• Width adjusters attachment bolts: 60 lb•in (6.7 N•m)
• Arm pad holder screws: 30 lb•in (3.4 N•m)
Tighten threaded fasteners correctly
All fasteners must be tightened to Bontrager (or the bicycle
manufacturer's) specifications. A threaded fastener that is too loose
can result in a part coming loose.
The torque specifications should be
used to make sure you do not over-tighten a fastener. Applying more
than the recommended torque to a fastener does not provide extra
holding power, and may actually lead to damage or failure of a part.
If a part that is tightened to the correct torque is still loose, take the
bicycle to your dealer for service.
During production, threaded areas of all fasteners have been pre-
treated with a special blue thread-locking compound. This special
compound is easy to detect. If you cannot detect this thread locking
compound or if you have cleaned it off through normal maintenance,
re-apply a suitable blue thread-locking compound such as Loctite®
242 before assembly.
Do not grease the handlebar clamping area. This may cause the
aerobar to slip while riding.
Remove the arm pads before transporting
on a car
When carrying your bicycle on a roof rack, remove the arm pads.
