Setup, Compatibility & Care
These handlebars are compatible with any road stem designed for a 31.8mm clamp diameter. When installing, ensure that the faceplate bolts are tightened in an even, cross-pattern to avoid uneven pressure on the bar surface. Since the bars feature external cable grooves, use high-quality electrical tape or professional cable ties to secure your shifter housing into the grooves before applying handlebar tape. This prevents the cables from shifting under your grip. Regularly inspect the bar for any signs of fatigue or deep scratches, especially near the stem clamp area, and clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth using mild soap.
