Installation Instructions Ergon GR2 Grips
Attention:
Please read these instructions carefully. Only correctly installed Ergon grips allow for optimum function. Ergon GR2 grips require a handlebar with 22.2 mm diameter in the grip area
and uninterrupted bar space of: 135 mm each side for standard shifter, 135 mm left and 100 mm right for Rohloff
®
/Nexus
®
, 100 mm each side for GripShift
®
.
Only handlebars that have been approved by their manufacturer for use with bar ends should be used and can withstand the required clamping force. Carbon bars should feature factory fitted
bar end reinforcement or be specifically designed for use with bar ends. Very thin walled aluminium handlebars should only be used if a reinforcing insert is present, such as the Ergon LS100
handlebar plug-in. Please ensure prior to fitting that the bar is suitably cleaned using alcohol or other degreasers.
!
The grips are left and right specific, please
ensure that they correctly orientated and notice
the corresponding assembly area.
Measure and mark the handlebar
from the end to the required
assembly area (fig. 1).
Tip: Use either sticky tape or a
pencil.
Fit the bar end to the grip. You will
hear a distinct “click” when the
integrated security ring engages.
This signals that the bar end is
properly fitted to the grip.
Push the grip and bar end on to
the bar as far as the mark.
Tighten the clamping screw so
that the grip and bar end can still
be moved.
0° to +30°
-15° to +25°
Turn the grip so that the support platform completely supports the ball of your hand. The wrist should be in a neutral position
avoiding an exaggerated kink. After a short period of trial and error a comfortable position can be found. Be sure to tighten
the bar end with 7 Nm before your first ride.
The default position for the support platform is horizontal. For fine tuning
according to rider and riding style, please refer to the step 3 and the tips
given below.
!
Attention:
Before riding the bike, please ensure that the grips are properly tightened. If the quoted 7 Nm torque is not sufficient to
prevent the grips and bar ends being turned by hand then the handlebar is not compatible with this product. Please replace
the handlebar with one which is completely round at the end and meets the industry standard of 22.2mm in diameter. To
prevent corrosion, the bar end has a protective coating. Should this coating become damaged, from a crash for example,
it is advisable renew this layer using a paint pen or similar. Following any accidents, all components of the grips and clamps
should be checked for damage and replaced as necessary. Should you have any questions, please refer to your retailer.
Before riding for the first time, ensure that the function of the brakes and gears has not been restricted without having to
change your hand position and that all functions of the bicycle can be used as normal. A secure fit can only be guarantied
with the use of the correct Ergon bar end.
Maintenance:
In order to ensure that your Ergon grips provide you with the best performance please clean them regularly using warm
soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. Do not use petroleum based products or solvents, oil or grease on the grips for any reason.
Warranty:
The clamping system used on these grips exceeds the DIN standard 14766 for handlegrips of 70 Nm removal force. The
function and construction of Ergon handlebar grips are covered by a warranty for two years from the date of purchase.
Please be aware that grips do naturally wear out with use. In the event of a suspected warranty issue, please contact
your retailer. Damage as a result of crashes, misuse, incorrect installation or modification of the grip is not covered by this
warranty.
Tighten to 7 Nm torque using a 5 mm torque wrench.
Important:
Recommended torque: 7 Nm
The grips and bar ends should not turn on the bar!
Re-check the torque setting following the first ride /
50km of riding. Check periodically to ensure that the
screws are not loosening.
Please ensure that you have the correct grips mounted left and right (1). The end of the bar end
should be level with the end of the bar (2.1).

Information:
Ergon grips offer pain prevention through
optimized pressure distribution. This is realised
through the 40% larger surface area. This
pressure distribution allows better blood
circulation, which may cause the hands to
appear flushed.
The correct position for your Ergon grips is
an individual thing. Repeat steps (3) to (6)
adjusting the angle of the grips in small steps.
The angle maybe different for the left and
right hand. Ride a test course to allow good
comparison.
Should you suffer from pain or numbness in
your hands or forearms despite use of Ergon
grips it may help to try a handlebar with a
different profile, or rotate your existing one.
If problems persist, it is advisable to check
your position on the bike including frame size,
handlebar height and saddle position with the
help of a professional.
Allergy information:
All Ergon grips are latex free.
