Adjusting the cable length

You can make smaller adjustments by moving
the cables in their guides at the frame and the
stem, so there is enough clearance for all
movements. If this is not the case you will
have to have your specialist dealer shorten
the cables or replace them by longer ones.

Attention!

After having adjusted the

handlebar position you have to readjust
the length of the brake cables and shifter
cables. The cables have to run smoothly
without any sharp turns and they should
not be bent sharply or stretched when the
handlebar is at maximum angle. Also avoid
large bows that could be caught up by the
front wheels or other parts or touch ob-
jects under your bicycle.

Cover all contact areas where cables move
and touch the frame with sturdy transparent
tape. This protects the paint against scratching
and wear.Handlebar grips

The grips on the handlebar are susceptible to
wear and tear. Have your grips replaced by
your bike shop once they don't feel comforta-
ble any more. The grips always need to be
attached firmly to the handlebar.
