Product Information
Full details
The Gusset S2 Handlebars are for riders seeking a durable yet lightweight handlebar that enhances control and comfort. Their primary benefit is the custom butted and swaged 7075 alloy construction, offering a superior strength-to-weight ratio. A potential caveat is the need for precise cutting if a width other than the standard 780mm is desired. These handlebars feature a 31.8mm clamp diameter, optimized sweep angles, and cut markings for personalization, all designed to improve riding posture and handling.

Troubleshooting
Handlebar slipping in stem
Ensure stem bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's recommended specification. Clean the stem clamp area and handlebar surface to remove any grease or debris.
Difficulty installing grips or controls
Ensure you are using the standard 31.8mm clamp diameter. If grips are tight, a small amount of grip glue or isopropyl alcohol can aid installation. Ensure control levers are not positioned too close to the stem.
Uneven wear on grip area
This may indicate excessive pressure or friction. Ensure your gloves are clean and free of debris. Check the grip finish for any embedded dirt that might be causing abrasion.
Flexing during hard riding
While designed for strength, excessive flexing can occur if bars are cut too short or if the rider's position is not optimal. Ensure correct torque on stem and check for any damage. Consider a handlebar with a higher rise or different sweep if discomfort persists.

- Handlebar Placement: Position the handlebars in the stem, ensuring they are centered. Torque stem bolts to manufacturer specifications.
- Width Adjustment (if needed): If you require a narrower width, use the provided cut markings as a guide. Caution: Use a proper pipe cutter or hacksaw for clean cuts and deburr the edges thoroughly. Always measure twice and cut once.
