28.4 Carbon handlebars and stems

Carbon handlebars and stems

Note that the instructions may require further

explanation, depending on the experience

and/or skill of the person doing the work and

some jobs might only be possible with addi-

tional, special-purpose tools (e.g. a torque

wrench) or supplementary instructions.

28.4.1 Before your first ride

• Carbon road handlebars and stems are

only designed for being used with road

race and triathlon bikes and their intended

use.

• Never use clip-on or aero bar extensions

with carbon road handlebars unless they

are specifically approved for such use by

the manufacturer.

• Carbon mountain bike handlebars and

stems are only designed for being used

with cross country or marathon mountain

bikes and their intended use.

• Carbon handlebars and stems are not

designed for extreme situations, such as

free-riding, dual slalom, downhill, drops

or such like.

• When using bar ends, make sure your

handlebar is approved to be fitted with

these parts. Most of the carbon handlebars

are not suitable for being fitted with bar

ends. Ask your bike dealer or the manuf-

acturer of your handlebar for advice.

• Never modify or change the handlebar or

stem.

• Make sure you are always able to easily

reach the brake levers.

• Be sure to only fit bar ends to specifically

approved handlebars.

28.4.2 Mounting

1. Please note that stem and handlebar

always have the appropriate clamping

diameter! For example, stems with a

clamping diameter of 31.8 mm are only

approved to be used with handlebars of a

clamping diameter of 31.8 mm.

Mounting incompatible components may

lead to an insufficient clamping and hence to

a severe crash. We recommend using compo-

nents of the same manufacturer, as they are

compatible

MERIDA denies any liability for damage/loss

resulting from the combination of a carbon

handlebar or stem with an unsuitable stem

or handlebar.

For your own safety, never carry out

work on your bike unless you are

absolutely confident in your ability to com-

plete the task to a satisfactory standard. If in

doubt, ask your local dealer for advice.
