8. Adjusting the bike to the rider
8.7 Adjusting the bar ends
Bar ends give you additional ways of grip-
ping the handlebars. They are usually fixed in
a position that gives the rider a comfortable
grip when pedalling out of the saddle. There-
fore, they are usually mounted almost parallel
to the ground or tilted slightly upwards.
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 mak-
ing sure that the angle is the same on both
sides.
Retighten the bolts to the required torque.
See whether the bar ends are firmly fixed by
trying to twist them out of position.
Note that the bolted connections of
stem, handlebars, bar ends, and
brakes have to be tightened to their specified
torques. You will find the prescribed values
in chapter 29. “Recommended torques for
bolted connections“ or in the instructions of
the handlebar and bar end manufacturers.
Note that the distance you need to
stop your bike, increases while riding
with the hands on bar ends as the brake
levers are not within reach as long as you
have not changed the position of your
hands.
Keep in mind that not all handlebars
are suitable for being equipped with
bar ends. Ask your dealer for help.
