Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your stem is compatible with the 35mm bar bore diameter. When mounting, use a torque wrench to tighten the stem faceplate bolts evenly in a cross-pattern to the torque specification indicated on your stem. Ensure the centering markings on the bar are aligned correctly with the stem. For care, wipe down the handlebar with a damp cloth after muddy rides to prevent grit from damaging the anodized finish. Inspect the bar periodically for any deep scratches or dents, especially after a significant crash, as structural damage to aluminum can compromise safety.
