How to fit a road bike handlebar?
Have you just received your new handlebar? Fitting this component is relatively straightforward — here is how to do it.
- Time: 15 min
- Level: Easy
- Tools: Allen key set | Torque wrench
Steps
- Undo the bolts on the stem.
- Place the handlebar on the stem.
Probikeshop tip: If the handlebar or the stem is made of carbon, it is recommended to use assembly paste at the contact point between these two parts to reduce the required tightening torque and thus avoid damaging them.
- Begin tightening the stem bolts evenly.
- Tighten the stem bolts evenly, working in a cross pattern.
Probikeshop tip: Make sure to respect the torque specified by the manufacturer, especially for a carbon handlebar, otherwise you risk crushing it.
Your handlebar is now in place; all that remains is to fit the other components and then adjust your position. After your first ride, check the handlebar tightening.
