in the assembly of Stages Indoor Cycling bikes. 
 

DETAILS: 

Aerobar Installation:  

Assembly: 

Aerobars  can  be  installed  on  the  Stages  SC3.18  Indoor 
Cycling bikes but, if installed on a bike with Media Shelf, it 
becomes hard to use. 

 

1.

 

Remove the end cap from the front of the handlebars by 

removing  the  four  (4)  that  attaches  it  to  the  front  of  the 
handlebars.   

Note:  Make  sure  to  keep  the  end  caps  and 

screws and give them to the customer as they want them in 
the future. 

 

2.

 

Remove the Aerobars and the four (4) screws provided

ensuring that the Aerobars are pointed upward. 
 
4.

 

Insert the four (4) screws provided into the front of the 

Aerobar and attach it to the front of the handlebars.  

Note: Do 

not use the old screws that were used on the end cap as they 
won’t  hold  Aerobars  tight  enough.  Make  sure  to  start  all 
screws  prior  to  tightening  any  of  them  (to  prevent  cross 
threading).  See  illustrations  received  with  Aerobars  for 
further  instructions  and  diagrams  (link  provided  in 
Reference Material section).

console from the base by removing the thumb screw. Slightly 
pull the top of the console upward and off of the base (as there 
is  tabs  at  the  bottom  of  the  console).

stem. Tighten the console base and Media Shelf to the handlebar 
stem.  

Note: Give an extra ¼ turn on the screws to make sure 

that they are tight enough, to ensure that they don’t come loose. 
Give the original console screws to the customer, as they may 
want them in the future.
