Assembly and safety instructions for
Handlebar CONTEST, CONTEST Jugend, CONTEST Lady, CONTEST Comfort, CONTEST Traveler
Thank you for deciding to buy your new handlebar from our company.
Compare the SAFETY LEVEL on the handlebar with the attached
table in order to check whether it is suitable for the intended use.
Before use please read the following assembly and safety
instructions carefully. Keep them in a safe place and pass
them on to the next owner if necessary.
Assembly
Basic technical knowledge is required for the assembly of this product. If you do
not have this knowledge, please use the services of a specialist bicycle dealer.
Before assembly please check that the handlebars and the stem are
compatible.
Make sure that the difference in diameter between the fixing area of the hand-
lebar c and the clamping area of the stem is no greater than + 0.2 mm.
Ensure that the clamping area of the stem is free from burrs, sharp edges or
similar defects which could damage the handlebars.
Make sure that the surfaces to be clamped are clean and free from grease!
For safety reasons aluminium handlebars should not be combined
with a steel stem (mixed materials), because this could lead to
breakage!
Place the fixing area c of the handlebars in the centre of the clamping area
of the stem and clamp it lightly.
Now set the angle of the handlebars to your individual requirements.
Do not position the handlebars vertically or facing backwards,
as this could lead to injury in the event of a fall.
Tighten the handlebar clamping screw(s) on the stem to the degree
of tightness specified by the stem manufacturer.
For safety reasons the max. tightness value of 16 Nm
must not be exceeded.
Now you assemble the remaining components such as the gear lever, brake
lever, grips and bar ends in according with the instructions of
the individual manufacturer.

Safety instructions

The tightness of the bolts must be checked after approx. 500 km and once
more during the regular service intervals (with once a year as a minimum).
You should also make a regular check on the area around the stem clamp.
If you see a hairline crack or incipient cracking the handlebars should be
replaced immediately.
This handlebar is not suitable for mountain biking or competitions.
The heavy demands made on it could lead to breakage of the handlebar.
When transporting the bicycle upside down by car the bicycle should not
be fastened by the handlebar, because this subjects it to strong dynamic
pressure which could lead to material fatigue and possible breakage.
If handlebar bags or baskets are mounted, care must be taken to ensure
that a max. load of 10 kilos is not exceeded. Excessive loading can cause
the handlebar to break.
For safety reasons the handlebar and bar ends must always be replaced
if they have been damaged.
