Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance and safety, follow these guidelines for your Next R 35 Handlebars:
- Stem Compatibility: These bars are strictly designed for 35mm diameter stems. Do not attempt to use with 31.8mm stems or shims.
- Torque Specifications: Always use a calibrated torque wrench. Exceeding the recommended torque on your stem faceplate can damage the carbon structure.
- Component Mounting: Use carbon-friendly assembly paste on contact points for shifters and brake levers to prevent slippage without over-tightening.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the carbon surface for chips, cracks, or deep scratches, especially after a significant crash or impact.
- Cleaning: Use only mild soap and water with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that can degrade the clear coat finish.
