• On roof mounted bike carriers, never fixate the bicycle
while it is standing on its handlebar.
• Do not attach weights to your handlebar, be it for
transport reasons or otherwise.
• Never use force to adjust your brake- or shifting levers
or the bell. Always loosen each part prior to any adjust-

• Never try to fix a bent or twisted handlebar (e.g. after

a professional after three years or 10.000 km in case
of frequent use.
