Handlebar position (grip ergonomics)
Depending on the position of your handlebars, the grip may become uncomfortable. For example, if
the handlebars are twisted too far upwards, the forearms will quickly become tired. If, however, the
handlebars are turned too far downwards, your wrists are subjected to a great deal of strain that be-
comes noticeable during prolonged riding from a numb feeling in your fingers. Proceed as follows to
adjust the grip position to suit your needs:
-
Loosen the quick-release fastener of the handlebar clamp.
-
Turn the handlebars up or down until you reach the desired grip position.
-
Then close the quick-release fastener of the handlebar clamp again. In order to set the nec-
essary tensioning force on the quick-release fastener, there is a knurled nut on the quick-re-
lease fastener with which the tensioning force can be adjusted.
Make sure that the quick-release fastener closes completely and that the tension lever does
not stick out from the stem!
If you still feel numbness in your fingers during longer rides even after adjusting the han-
dlebar position, your handlebars are still too far down. Turn the handlebars slightly up-
wards and test again to see whether the numbness occurs.
