WARNING: Always tighten fasteners to the correct torque. Bolts that
are too tight can stretch and deform. Bolts that are too loose can move and
fatigue. Either mistake can lead to a sudden failure of the bolt, causing you to
lose control and fall.
Your dealer can also change the angle of the handlebar or bar end extensions.
WARNING: An insufficiently tightened stem clamp bolt, handlebar clamp
bolt or bar end extension clamping bolt may compromise steering action, which
could cause you to lose control and fall. Place the front wheel of the bicycle
between your legs and attempt to twist the handlebar/stem assembly. If you can
twist the stem in relation to the front wheel, turn the handlebars in relation to the
stem, or turn the bar end extensions in relation to the handlebar, the bolts are
insufficiently tightened.
WARNING: During use of aero extensions you will have less control over the
bicycle. You will have a diminished ability to steer. You will also need to reset your hands to
operate the brakes, which means your response to braking will take longer.
D. Control position adjustments
The angle of the brake and shift control levers and their position on the handlebars can be
changed. Ask your dealer to make the adjustments for you. If you choose to make your own
control lever angle adjustment, be sure to re-tighten the clamp fasteners to the recommended
torque (Appendix D or the manufacturer’s instructions).
E. Brake reach
Many bikes have brake levers which can be adjusted for reach. If you have small hands or find it
difficult to squeeze the brake levers, your dealer can either adjust the reach or fit shorter reach
brake levers.
WARNING: The shorter the brake lever reach, the more critical it is to
have correctly adjusted brakes, so that full braking power can be applied within
available brake lever travel. Brake lever travel insufficient to apply full braking
power can result in loss of control, which may result in serious injury or death.
