REPLACING EXTENSIONS
If you wish to swap the extensions for anoth-
er model, you must first of all undo the cable
plug of the shifter cable that runs through the
extensions. Only then can you unscrew the
installed extensions.
Now hold the unscrewed extensions firmly at
the rear and pull off the extension clamping
piece in the direction of the cable.
If you wish to replace the standard extensions
with another version, the shift levers must be
removed and installed again afterwards. Note
the corresponding information in the operat-
ing instructions of the gear manufacturer.
Take the new extension in your hand and guide
the cable into the extension and through the
opening to the outside. If necessary, use a
loop (e.g. made from a cable binder) to make
it easier to thread the cable through the open-
ing.
Now push the extension clamping piece back
on and mount the extensions on the handle-
bars.
You can find further information in the chap-
ter
“Adjusting extensions and armrests”
.
SHORTENING THE EXTENSIONS
Once you have found your final seating po-
sition, it may be necessary to shorten the
extensions. Mark the area where you intend
to saw off the extensions. Orient yourself to-
wards the printed scale. Do not saw beyond
the
“End of cutting area”
line.
Do not clamp the extensions in a vice for
sawing, they could be destroyed. Clamp the
extensions in a suitable device, e.g. a special
bracket.
Saw the extensions with a metal saw with a
sharp, fine-toothed blade (24t) and with light
pressure along the marking. Make sure that
you do not inhale or ingest the chips and the
dust.
i
Five different versions of extensions
are available. You can choose be-
tween the options L-Bend, S-Bend and
Straight (all made of carbon) as well as
J-Bend and Lazy S-Bend (made of alumin-
ium).
Do not blow away the chips and dust pro-
duced by sawing. Pick up the chips and dust
with a damp rag and dispose of the rag imme-
diately afterwards!
Carefully deburr the cut end with a fine-
toothed file. Run the file along the tube to-
wards the sawn end and not in the other
direction, otherwise there is a risk that the
fibrous material (in the case of carbon exten-
sions) could fan out.
