2. Assemble the handlepost.
Insert the upper telescoping part of the handlepost into the lower, securing the quick release
clamp tightly. The handlepost quick release clamp is functionally the same as a seat post quick release clamp; refer to the
instructions on page 66 of your owner’s manual (Seat post clamp: quick release) for detailed use instructions.
The handlepost
quick release collar must be tightened properly,
or the handlebars could turn away from the wheel while riding, causing a
crash.
3. Align and secure the handlebar.
Center the bar in the handlebar
clamp, rotate it until the brake levers and other accessories can be used
comfortably, then flip the quick release lever to the closed position. Make
sure the quick release is adjusted enough to be secure; the handlebars
should not be able to rotate or move out of
position while riding. Reference page 66 of
your owner’s manual for detailed instructions
on quick release clamps.
4. Check the alignment and adjustment
of the headset, frame latch, and
handlepost hinge
, as detailed on pages 4
and 5 of this document.
Insert upper handlebar post into lower,
then secure the quick release collar.
Center the handlebar, rotate
it to a comfortable position,
then secure the quick release
lever.
