ADJUSTING YOUR RISER
There are different designs of handlebars and risers used on RANS bikes.
RANS long-wheelbase bikes usually feature the T-bar riser. Height and bar position are adjustable throughout a three-inch range
at both ends of the riser. Using a hex wrench, loosen the clamps, adjust and retighten. You should be able to sit back comfort-
ably in the seat, resting hands on the handlebar grips with elbows gently bent. The handlebar should be roughly chest high. The
handlebar should not crowd your face, chest or knees.
RANS short-wheelbase bikes and tandems feature the Flip-It riser. The Flip-It folds forward, away from the seat, letting you
mount the bike easily. There should be sufficient tension on the quick-release to keep the riser firmly in place when you pull it
back to the riding position. Use care not to excessively leverage the quick-release as this can over-tighten the Flip-It mechanism
and deform the clamping mechanism or fork steer tube. Flip-Its without the quick-releases need only occasional adjustment of
tension. Use a hex wrench to adjust until it moves smoothly with some friction.
The Flip-It folds forward, away from the seat, a self locking bolt at the base of the riser adjusts tension, controlling the riser’s
freedom of movement. Sufficient tension should be applied to keep the Flip-It play free, with some light friction.
The travel of the Flip-It is limited by a set screw at its base. Adjust this screw with a hex wrench to adjust the lay of the handlebar
when pulled fully into your chest.

With either riser, the handlebar should not crowd your face, chest, or knees.
WARNING! THE 3-INCH RULE: WHEN CLAMPING HANDLEBARS TOGETHER, BE SURE THREE INCHES OF
THE THINNER BAR REMAIN INSIDE THE LARGER TUBE.
