Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure you are using a compatible 35mm bore stem. Apply a thin layer of friction paste if using carbon components nearby, but adhere strictly to the stem manufacturer's torque specifications to avoid crushing the aluminium. To care for the bar, regularly check the clamping bolts for security and inspect for scratches or deep gouges after major crashes, as these can create stress risers. The 810mm width can be trimmed to your preferred length using a hacksaw and a guide, but ensure you clean the edges with a file afterward to prevent sharp burs.
