Instruction Manual: Darimo MTB Handlebar
Thank you for buying a Darimo product. We design from the very first steps to the
handcrafted laminates to exceed your expectations in our products.
It is very important to follow the installation instructions to ensure proper
operation of the product. Improper installation can cause damages and will reduce
the safety of the components.
You will need a torque wrench to adjust the torque without exceeding the
recommendations. If you do not feel qualified to install the handlebar, ask for a
bike professional to do it. In case of any doubt you can contact us, we will advise
you without any problem.

- Before assembling:
Sandpaper is delivered with the handlebar. Review all sharp edges of the stem
clamping area. Review all sharp edges of the brake and shifters lever clamping area.
Any sharp edge could damage the carbon fibers of the handlebar.
Do not install a stem with an internal wedge. This type of stems generates
important surface pressures that will damage the carbon handlebar. Always install
clamp-type stems with screws.
-Assembling the handlebar in the stem:
Loose the clamping system of your stem. Clean with a wipe all grease rests of
previous installations. Inside the box you will find a small canister with mounting
paste. Apply a thin layer of it on the clamping area of the handlebar or clamping
parts of the stem. This paste will reduce the necessary torque to keep the seat in its
position during its use.
Do not use grease. Use specifically mounting paste for carbon fiber products.
Assemble the handlebar in the stem ensuring that is centered. Measure both sides
of the handlebar from the stem. Tighten the clamping bolts of the stem,
the
maximum tightening torque for the stem bolts is 4 Nm.
Nevertheless if you use
the mounting paste, 3Nm will be enough to clamp the bar. If you use stems with 4
bolts, ensure that the parts are centered and the torque is equal in all bolts.
Tighten progressively and alternatively the bolts. Never tighten more than 4Nm.
Maximum
torque 2.5 Nm
Maximum
torque 4 Nm
