Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Easton EC70 Aero requires basic knowledge of bicycle maintenance, specifically involving carbon components. Ensure your stem uses a 31.8mm clamp size and that the faceplate is free of sharp edges that could score the carbon. Always use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the manufacturer's torque specifications to prevent structural failure. Apply a small amount of carbon-specific friction paste to the clamping surfaces to ensure a secure fit without over-tightening. For care, clean the bars periodically using mild soap and water; avoid using abrasive solvents or cleaners that may damage the matte UD finish. Periodically inspect the bar for any signs of surface cracking or deep scratches, especially after a crash.
