Whether you're upgrading to a new set of bars or adjusting your position, proper installation is key to safety and comfort.
✅ Step 1: Remove Your Existing Bars
1️⃣ Loosen the faceplate bolts on your stem (be sure to loosen them evenly).
2️⃣ If you have integrated shifters and brake cables, be mindful of routing.
3️⃣ Carefully slide the bars out and set them aside.
✅ Step 2: Install Your New Handlebars
1️⃣ Center the handlebars within the stem clamp and tighten the bolts evenly.
2️⃣ Adjust the bar angle to your preferred position (see next section).
3️⃣ Torque the bolts to manufacturer specifications—over-tightening can cause damage!
💡 Pro Tip: If you're switching bar widths or shapes, ensure your fit is dialed in with proper reach and drop.
