How to fit road bike levers?
This is a relatively straightforward operation. Here is how to fit your levers yourself.
- Time: 30 min
- Level: Easy
- Tools: Allen key set | Level | Tape measure
Steps
- First, slide the lever onto the handlebar.
- Position it in line with the bike axis, so that the top of the hood extends between 1 and 2 cm above the handlebar. The aim is for the handlebar/hood junction and the bottom of the handlebar to be as parallel to the ground as possible.
- Tighten the clamp bolt to the lowest torque value specified by the shifter or handlebar manufacturer.
Probikeshop tip: Always respect the lowest torque value to avoid damaging the handlebar during fitting or in the event of a crash.
- Repeat steps 1 to 3 to fit the other lever, making sure both levers are parallel and at the same height.
Probikeshop tip: use the graduations on the handlebar or, failing that, a spirit level.
With the components now fitted, all that remains is to wrap your handlebar tape and adjust your derailleurs.
