28.4 Carbon handlebars and stems
Carbon handlebars and stems
Note that the instructions may require further
explanation, depending on the experience
and/or skill of the person doing the work and
some jobs might only be possible with addi-
tional, special-purpose tools (e.g. a torque
wrench) or supplementary instructions.
28.4.1 Before your first ride
Carbon road handlebars and stems are
only designed for being used with road
race and triathlon bikes and their intended
use.
Never use clip-on or aero bar extensions
with carbon road handlebars unless they
are specifically approved for such use by
the manufacturer.
Carbon mountain bike handlebars and
stems are only designed for being used
with cross country or marathon mountain
bikes and their intended use.
Carbon handlebars and stems are not
designed for extreme situations, such as
free-riding, dual slalom, downhill, drops
or such like.
When using bar ends, make sure your
handlebar is approved to be fitted with
these parts. Most of the carbon handlebars
are not suitable for being fitted with bar
ends. Ask your bike dealer or the manuf-
acturer of your handlebar for advice.
Never modify or change the handlebar or
stem.
Make sure you are always able to easily
reach the brake levers.
Be sure to only fit bar ends to specifically
approved handlebars.
28.4.2 Mounting
1. Please note that stem and handlebar
always have the appropriate clamping
diameter! For example, stems with a
clamping diameter of 31.8 mm are only
approved to be used with handlebars of a
clamping diameter of 31.8 mm.
Mounting incompatible components may
lead to an insufficient clamping and hence to
a severe crash. We recommend using compo-
nents of the same manufacturer, as they are
compatible
MERIDA denies any liability for damage/loss
resulting from the combination of a carbon
handlebar or stem with an unsuitable stem
or handlebar.
For your own safety, never carry out
work on your bike unless you are
absolutely confident in your ability to com-
plete the task to a satisfactory standard. If in
doubt, ask your local dealer for advice.
