3.D - Control Position
Adjustments
The angle of the brake and shift control levers
and their position on the handlebars can be
changed. Ask your dealer to make the
adjustments for you.
If you choose to make your own control lever
angle adjustment, be sure to re-tighten the
clamp fasteners to the recommended torque
(See manufacturer’s instructions).
3.E - Brake Reach
Many bikes have brake levers which can be
adjusted for reach. If you have small hands or
find it difficult to squeeze the brake levers, your
dealer can either adjust the reach or fit shorter
reach brake levers.
WARNING
The shorter the brake lever reach, the more
critical it is to have correctly adjusted brakes,
so that full braking power can be applied
within available brake lever travel.
Brake lever travel insufficient to apply full
braking power can result in loss of control,
which may result in serious injury or death.
Section 4. Tech
It’s important to your safety, performance and
enjoyment to understand how things work on
your bicycle.
We urge you to ask your dealer how to do the
things described in this section before you
attempt them yourself, and that you have your
dealer check your work before you ride the bike.
If you have even the slightest doubt as to
whether you understand something in this
section of the Manual, talk to your dealer.
