Setup, Compatibility & Care
For installation, ensure you are using a stem compatible with a 31.8mm clamp diameter. When attaching the handlebars to the stem or mounting components like shifters, always use a calibrated torque wrench to stay within the manufacturer's specified limits for carbon components to prevent structural damage. To protect the carbon fiber finish, avoid sharp clamping surfaces. For maintenance, clean the bar periodically with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, avoiding harsh degreasers that might affect the clear coat. Inspect the surface for any signs of cracking or deep abrasions after significant impacts.
