Shimano offers Dual Control levers which match small hands.

If you have problems reaching the brake lever, ask your bicycle

dealer.

What to Bear in Mind with Time Trial Handlebars on Triathlon and Time

Trial Bicycles

In triathlons and time trials (training and competition), where a particularly

aerodynamic seating position is important, so called aero handlebars are

used. With these aero models the shift levers are often positioned at the

handlebar ends and the brake levers at the ends of the basic bullhorn han-

dlebars (a). When you ride with your back in a horizontal position and hands

on the aero bars, the brake levers are out of reach and the reaction time is

extended which makes your stopping distance longer. For this reason it is

very important for you to ride with caution and with this fact in mind.

Within certain limits, the position of the handlebars can be adjusted ac-

cording to your personal wishes. That is to say the straight part of the aero

handlebars should point slightly downward or upwards, and the basic han-

dlebars should be parallel to the lane or point slightly upwards.

Make sure your forearms are always comfortably rested, i.e. the elbows

should be off the armrests a little towards the rear (b).

Note that the distance you need to stop your bicycle increases,

while riding with the hands on the upper part of the handlebars

or with an aerodynamic seating position. The brake levers are

not always within easy reach.

14.4.2 Adjusting the Tilt of Handlebars and Brake Levers on

Road Racing Bicycles

In road racing bicycles, the straight extension below the drops should be

parallel to the ground or slant slightly downwards, towards the rear (c).

The tips of the brake levers should coincide with an imaginary straight line

extending forward from the bar ends. Shifting the brake levers is a job best

left to your bicycle dealer, as it involves retaping the handlebars afterwards.

To adjust the tilt of the handlebars, release the Allen bolt(s) on the underside

or front of the stem (d).

Turn the handlebars to the desired position.

Make sure the handlebars are accurately centred in the stem.

Now carefully retighten the bolt(s) with a torque wrench. Make sure the ad-

jacent clamping slots are parallel and the upper and lower slots are even.

Try rotating the handlebars once clamped in the stem (a) and tighten the

bolt a little more, if necessary.

Never exceed the recommended torque.

Note that the bolted connections of the stem, the handlebars

and add-on parts have to be tightened to the specified torques.

Use a torque wrench and never exceed the maximum tightening

torque! You will find the prescribed values in chapter “Recom-

mended Tightening Torques”, directly on the components and/

or in the manuals of the component manufacturers.

14.4.3 Adjusting the Brake Lever Reach of Trekking, City,

BMX, Kids’ and Mountain Bikes

With most brake systems the distance between the brake levers and the

handlebar grips is adjustable. This gives riders with small hands the conven-

ience of bringing the brake levers closer to the handlebars. The length of the

rider’s fingers also determines how the lever position for first brake contact

should be set.

Determine the point, front and rear, at which the brake pads touch the rims

or, with disc brakes, makes contact with the rotor. If this point is reached

after the lever has only travelled a short distance, you will have to readjust

the brakes when altering the reach distance (see chapter “Brake System“

and the operating instructions of the brake manufacturer). Otherwise the

brake pads might drag on the rims.

On most bicycles there is a small headless screw near the point where the

brake cable of a cable brake enters the brake lever mount or at the lever

itself. Turn the screw clockwise and watch how the lever adjusts as you do

so (b).

If you have disc brakes, follow the instructions of the brake

manufacturer.

Hydraulic brakes are also fitted with adjusting devices at the brake lever.

There are different types of systems, ask your bicycle dealer for help (c).

When you have set the levers to the desired reach distance be sure to check

whether there is still enough slack for the brake levers to move a little before

the brake pads hit the rims or make contact with the rotors (see chapter

“Brake System“) (d).

Make sure you cannot pull the brake levers all the way to the

handlebars. Your maximum brake force should be reached

short of this point!

Read the additional instructions of the brake manufacturer.
