Handlebars
The exact positioning of the handlebar is a matter of personal
preference. For bicycles with flat handlebars, the bar should be posi-
tioned relatively horizontal. For bikes with a riser style handlebar, the
bar should be placed in an approximately upright position, but can be
angled back or forward slightly for comfort and personal preference.
For drop bars, you should adjust the handlebar so that the flat portion
of the drop section is in a horizontal position parallel to the ground.
You may also find that rotating the bars up by about 5 degrees can
create a more comfortable position. Again, there is some room for
adjustment based on personal preference. Your authorized dealer will
be able to assist you further in selecting the correct handlebar
position for you.
Never ride unless the handlebar clamping
mechanism has been securely tightened.
