14.4.4 Adjusting the Tilt of Handlebars, Bar Ends and
Brake Levers of Trekking, City, BMX, Kids’ and
Mountain Bikes
Handlebar ends are usually slightly bent. Set the handlebars to a position in
which your wrists are relaxed and not turned too much outwards (a).
To adjust the angle of the handlebars, release the Allen bolt(s) on the un-
derside or front side of the stem. Turn the handlebars to the desired posi-
tion. Make sure the handlebars are accurately centred in the stem. Carefully
retighten the bolt(s) with a torque wrench (b). Try rotating the handlebars
once clamped in the stem and tighten the bolt a little more, if necessary.
Use a torque wrench and never exceed the maximum tightening torque!
You will find the prescribed values in chapter “Recommended Tightening
Torques”, directly on the components and/or in the manuals of the com-
ponent manufacturers.
After adjusting the handlebar you need to adjust the brake and shift levers.
Release the Allen bolt at either grip binder. Turn the levers relative to the
handlebars. Sit in the saddle and place your fingers on the brake levers.
Check whether the back of your hand forms a straight line with the line of
your forearm. Retighten the grips with a torque wrench (c) and do a twist
test!
Note that the bolted connections of the stem, handlebars, bar
ends, and brakes have to be tightened to their specified tor-
ques. Use a torque wrench and never exceed the maximum
tightening torque! You will find the prescribed values in chapter
“Recommended Tightening Torques”, directly on the compo-
nents and/or in the manuals of the component manufacturers.
Bar ends and multi position handlebars give you additional ways of grip-
ping.
They are usually fixed in a position that gives the rider a comfortable grip
when pedalling out of the saddle, i.e. almost parallel to the ground or tilted
slightly upwards (by about 25°) (d).
Release the bolts, which are usually located on the bottomside of the bar
ends, by one to two complete turns.

Turn the bar ends to the desired position making sure the angle is the same
on both sides.
Retighten the bolts to the required torque.
Check whether the bar ends are firmly fixed by trying to twist them out of
position.
Note that the distance you need to stop your bicycle increases,
while riding with your hands on bar ends (a) or on a multi posi-
tion handlebar (b). The brake levers are not always within easy
reach.
Never fix bar ends in a vertical position or with their ends point-
ing towards the rear as this would increase the risk of injury in
the event of an accident.
