Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Racepoint is designed for use with 35mm clamp diameter stems. When installing, ensure the faceplate bolts are tightened in an 'X' pattern to evenly distribute pressure across the clamping area. Avoid using carbon paste if the stem or bar ends are metal, as this can cause slipping or unnecessary friction. Regularly inspect the bar for deep scratches or impacts, especially after a heavy crash. To cut the bar to your preferred width, use a high-quality hacksaw with a fine-tooth blade and a cutting guide; always deburr the cut ends with a file to ensure a smooth transition for your grips and controls.
