Tips and Suggestions
Which to Choose: Curved or Straight Handle?
The T-bar kit includes both a straight handle and a longer handle that curves upwards towards the front. The
optimal handle will depend on personal choice and your riding style; however here are some suggestions:
• The straight handle works best when installing the T-bar close to the front of the saddle, especially if used as a re-
placement for the plastic handle. We recommend this setup for muni as a shorter handle provides greater control.
• The curved handle works best as a longer handle extension. At higher handle angles the bent shape provides more
finger clearance below the plastic front handle. We recommend this setup for less technical riding where a more ex-
tended, “bike-like” body position is preferred.
Handle Positioning
The optimal handle position depends on personal preference and the type of riding you do. On your first rides,
bring a hex key and experiment with different positions until you find what works best. Here are a few tips:
• Riding and braking with the T-bar in an extended position can feel unstable at first. If this is the case, try installing it
close to the saddle and gradually move it further forward as you get used to it.
• Many road riders find that extending the handle further forwards provides the most comfort and aerodynamic ef-
ficiency. However, for muni or for bumpier roads, try keeping it closer to the saddle. This gives you increased control
and lets you pull up harder on the handle while keeping hold of the brake. To move the T-bar as close as possible to
the saddle, flip the slotted tube so the “seatpost” clamp faces to the rear, and cut the T-bar shorter as necessary.
• If you have trouble reaching your brake lever between the bar ends or the bar ends are bumping your knees, try cut-
ting the “T” to a narrower width. The minimum recommended “T” width is 110 mm.
• Check the tightness of all bolts after the first ride and after every few rides.
• See the Fusion Zero or Fusion One Comfort Guide for T-bar handle tips when using the handle with one of these
saddles under the Resources section at the bottom of http://www.krisholm.com/en/gear/saddle/fusion-zero or http://
