Adjusting the tilt of the handlebars
and brake levers of CENTURION road
bikes with flat handlebars
The handlebars are usually slightly bent at the ends.
Set the handlebars to a position in which your wrists
are relaxed and not turned too much outwards.
Release the Allen bolt(s) at the bottom or front side of
the stem. Turn the handlebars to the desired position.
Make sure the handlebars are accurately centered in
the stem. Carefully retighten the bolt(s) with the torque
wrench.
Tighten all bolts with an Allen key by applying little
force until the upper and the lower clamping slots of
the handlebar clamp between faceplate and stem
body are equal in width
(f)
. Tighten the bolts alternate-
ly and in small increments with a torque wrench to the
lower value of the recommended torque values.
Try rotating the handlebars once clamped in the stem
(g)
and tighten the bolt a little more, if necessary. Use
a torque wrench and never exceed the maximum
torque values! You find them directly on the compo-
nents and/or in the instructions of the component
manufacturers on this CENTURION CD-ROM.
If the handlebars are not tight with the prescribed
torque value, use carbon assembly paste.
After adjusting the handlebars you need to adjust the
brake lever/shifter units. Release the Allen bolt at either
unit. Turn the levers relative to the handlebars. Sit in
the saddle and place your fingers on the brake levers.
Check whether the back of your hand forms a straight
line with the line of your forearm
(h)
. Retighten the
units with a torque wrench and do a twist test! The
brake levers need not be absolutely tight. In case of
a fall it is an advantage when the brake levers can be
turned.

Tighten all bolts with an Allen key by
applying little force until the upper and
the lower clamping slots of the handle-
bar clamp between faceplate and stem body are
equal in width. Tighten the bolts alternately and
in small increments with a torque wrench to the
lower value of the recommended torque values.
The recommended torque values for 4-bolt-
stems are 5-6 Nm. In the case of 4-bolt-face-
plates tighten the bolts evenly in a cross pattern.
