FAQs

Can I stack multiple kits to get 40mm of height?

Stacking multiple spacer kits is generally not recommended as it can compromise the structural integrity and stability of the cockpit.

Does this kit come with bolts?

Yes, the kit includes the necessary high-strength hardware required for the 20mm stack height adjustment.

Will this work with my non-Controltech extensions?

No, this product is specifically designed for the geometry of the Controltech Falcon TT Extensions.

Do I need to use a torque wrench?

Yes, it is highly recommended to use a torque wrench to ensure the fasteners are tightened to the specific torque settings provided by your bike's component manual.

Is the spacer material carbon-friendly?

Yes, the spacer is designed to interface correctly with carbon fiber components, but always ensure the mating surfaces are clean and free of grit before installation.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty threading the bolts through the spacer

Ensure the armrest mount and spacer holes are perfectly aligned before inserting the bolt. Use a light application of grease on the threads to ensure smooth engagement.

Cables feel tight after installation

The additional 20mm of height may require more housing length. If cables are taut, you will need to replace your inner and outer cable housing to prevent steering restriction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation Steps:

  1. Secure your bike in a repair stand.
  2. Carefully remove the bolts securing the existing armrests to the base bars.
  3. Position the 20mm spacers between the armrest mounts and the base bar bracket.
  4. Utilize the longer hardware included in the kit to securely fasten the armrests through the spacers.
  5. Verify that all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications.

Compatibility: This kit is designed specifically for the Controltech Falcon TT Extension series. It is not compatible with other brands of extensions or non-Falcon models.

Care: Periodically check the mounting bolts for any signs of loosening due to road vibration. Wipe the spacer surfaces with a dry cloth to prevent debris buildup, and inspect the spacers annually for hairline fractures or fatigue.
