2.1.3 Handlebar adjustment
You can adjust the angle of the handlebar by loosening the bolts attaching it to the stem. With this
adjustment you can get a more upright or downward position on the bike. You can also raise or lower
the handlebar by a few centimetres. To do this you need to change the spacers between the stem and
the headset. We suggest you take your bike to your Mondraker dealer to make this adjustment.
2.1.4 Shifter and brake levers
The levers on the handlebar allow you to change the speed and brake. You can place them according
your preferences. You can slide them away from or towards the grips on the handlebar using the Allen
bolt.
Mondraker bikes come with the rear brake mounted on the right side of the handlebar and the front
brake on the left side of the handlebar as standard.
WARNING: The shorter the brake lever reach, the more critical it is to have correctly adjusted
brakes so that full braking power can be applied within available brake lever travel. Brake
lever travel insufficient to apply full braking power can result in loss of control, which may
lead to serious injury or death.
2.1.5 Pedal adjustment
If your bike has automatic pedals you can adjust the minimum pressure required to release your foot
from the pedal. You can do that by tightening or loosening the bolts on the ends of the pedals. There
are two bolts per pedal; if you loosen them you can remove your shoe more easily and if you tighten
them it will be more difficult. This depends on the preferences of each rider. Some riders prefer a loose
pedal to be able to get their shoe out very easily to react quickly to problems, whereas others prefer
to have their shoe tightly held so it does not come out due to an unintentional leg movement or a
bumpy surface.
2.1.6 Mounting accessories
Ask your authorised Mondraker dealer to mount all the accessories on your bike. Make sure that any
accessories you or your authorised dealer mount on the bike do not block or interfere with the proper
functioning of any other part of the bike putting your safety at risk. Also make sure that the accessory
you want to mount is compatible with your Mondraker bike. Find out whether accessories such as
bells, horns or lights are allowed and approved and if they are authorised in terms of road safety.
WARNING: Incompatible accessories or those that have not been properly mounted can
adversely affect the performance of your bike and be unsafe.
