Sync Ergonomics Project 0.2 Evo User manual

We’re pleased to welcome you to a global family of athletes embracing more comfortable, more effective time trial positions. Sync
Ergonomics strongly recommends the installation of your Sync components to be undertaken by a qualified bicycle mechanic,
experienced with time trial and triathlon bicycles. Irrespective of your level of mechanical experience, please read the following guide
as it contains information vital for correct setup and use.
This document has been prepared to guide you through the assembly of your Project 0.2 EVO ecosystem. Care must be taken during
the installation process to ensure proper function and ongoing maintenance must be performed to ensure longevity of your Sync
Ergonomics components.
WARNING: In order to be installed correctly the components of Project 0.2 EVO require specialised knowledge of a time trial bicycle. It is recommended that
installation should be performed by a qualified bicycle mechanic. Improper assembly of any of the components of EVO could cause damage to the
product(s) and/or bicycle, may lead to loss of control of the bicycle, and may lead to personal injury, or in severe cases even death. Sync Ergonomics
assumes no responsibility for improper assembly and installation of the product(s).
WARNING: Please have your bicycle and Sync Ergonomics products regularly inspected for possible damage from use, especially from instances such as
accidents, crashes, and/or impact that occurs with travel. In the event of an accident, crash and/or impact in travel, it is strongly recommended you stop
using your bicycle immediately and take your bicycle to a professional bicycle mechanic for inspection to ensure proper function and safety. In the case
of damage, replace affected parts immediately. Even when no damage is visible, there may be internal damage to the integrity of a component. Failure
to replace damaged parts could result in loss of control, and may lead to personal injury, or in severe cases even death. Sync Ergonomics assumes no
responsibility for improper maintenance and inspection of the product(s).
Sync Ergonomics components are free from material and manufacturing defects for a period of 12 months starting from the original
purchase date, unless otherwise stated in our warranty policy, detailed on our website at www.syncergonomics.com. This warranty is
non-transferable and only applicable to the original customer who purchased this product and this product only. Any modifications to
the product, other than for its original intended use, such as drilling, will effectively and immediately void the warranty.

WARNING: Your bike may require additional tools to what is mentioned above and we cannot guarantee that these recommendations will cover the
requirements of all bikes. If in doubt, ensure assembly is handled by a qualified bicycle mechanic, experienced with the assembly and setup of a time trial
bicycle.
WARNING: Do not attempt to modify your Sync components, outside of what is described within this setup guide as appropriate for assembly. Modification
may impact the structural integrity of the components and could result in component failure, or failure of the complete system. Sync Ergonomics is not liable
for product damage and/or personal injury resulting from improper assembly.

NOTE: Systems differ to what is seen here, according to the differences in basebar adapters.

The purpose of the basebar adapter is to provide a consistent interface for the EVO top plate. The EVO top plate provides a consistent
125 mm extension clamp spacing. Basebar adapters are bike/handlebar specific and it should not be attempted to mount these
components on any other handlebar than specified.
Cervelo EX10 Riser Kit
Bolt down
Hardware supplied
No –Use original hardware (M6 x 20 mm CSK)
Specialized Shiv Tri Disc
Bolt up
Hardware supplied
No –Use original shaft and nut hardware

The V2 EVO basebar adapter is installed directly on top of the
center stack spacer assembly, allowing utilization of the original
spacer stack for height adjustment.
NOTE: Connect the basebar adapter using the original mounting hardware
and assemble as per the original assembly instructions.
NOTE: See the bike specific supplements for further details.
The EVO top plate connects directly atop the basebar adapter and
is secured using the supplied M6 x 16 mm CSK screws. We
recommend the application of MOTOREX Bike Grease for the top
plate screws and a torque of 6 Nm.
6 Nm

The EVO clamp adapters sit between the top plate and the extension clamps. This component allows for changing the angle of the
extension clamp, through the use of the angled clamp adapter (see setup supplement).

The EVO extension clamps bolt down to the top plate using the supplied M5 x 22 mm bolts. We recommend the application of MOTOREX
Bike Grease for the clamp bolts.
Ensure you use the supplied M5 flat form washers. Once pieced together, torque the EVO extension clamp bolts to 6 Nm.

Low Rise 3D extensions are designed to work with Shimano SW-R9160 and SRAM eTap CLICS. As such, Low Rise 3D extensions are free of
cable entry ports. The laser etched DO NOT CUT sections of the extension tubes are required for:
1) Clamping within the EVO clamps (clamp end of extensions)
2) Internal clamping (expansion) of the Shimano shifters (grip end of extensions)
It is inevitable that tube cutting will be required to achieve the combination of height and length that you require. When cutting, ensure
that the tube ends are cut at 90 degrees. Ensure that the extensions are properly deburred before inserting into the extension clamps.
Inappropriate tube preparation may lead to damage of the clamp bores and may obstruct tube insertion.
WARNING: Ensure you do not crush tubes during clamping and cutting. The tight tolerances on EVO Extension Clamps require a round tube for insertion.
WARNING: Low Rise 3D extensions are designed to work with Shimano SW-R9160 and SRAM eTap CLICS only. Any modification for other shifters voids the
product warranty. Sync Ergonomics is not liable for product damage and/or personal injury resulting from product modification.

When cut to the correct length and height, secure the
extensions in the EVO extension clamps with the two
grub screws provided (pre-inserted into the clamps).
We recommend the application of a light textured
carbon paste between the extension and the inside of
the clamp to ensure a secure fit. Successive loosening
and tightening of these screws over time, will require
reapplication of retaining compound (LOCTITE 222).
WARNING: Ensure you do not crush tubes by over torquing the
extension clamp screws. The tight tolerance on clamps requires
a round tube for insertion and removal. Crushing may lead to
the inability to remove a tube from the clamp body.
WARNING: We do not recommend the use of carbon
extensions in EVO Extension Clamps. The grub screw clamping
method is likely to damage a carbon tube and in such
instances, may lead to tube failure.

Thanks to the connection at the
shifter, you can run the Di2 wires through the spacer
stack during assembly, leaving sufficient length to
connect the shifters as a final step.
The wires will run through the basebar adapter/s,
through the spacers, clamp adapter and carbon
brace, into the clamp and up and out of the
extensions. Install your TT grips before finally affixing
your shifters in place.
Due to the nature of the wiring of
SRAM CLICS, it is important that you establish the
correct fit on your EVO setup prior to wiring the
shifters. Disassembly will be required before
reassembly with the SRAM wires passed through
each component.
Once you have completed installation of the
extensions and finished wiring the shifters, complete
the clamp assembly by securing the top caps,
ensuring each top cap screw is torqued to 2 Nm.

Deep Groove arm cups are directional. Cups should be
mounted with the rounded edge of the arm cup facing
forward. For each arm cup, use the supplied Torx flanged
button head screws for connection to the extension clamp.
We recommend the application of a medium-strength
(LOCTITE 243) retaining compound for the screw connections.
Deep Groove arm cup pads are placed scooped end facing
forward. When installing and removing the arm pad start at
the sides, this prevents creasing of the pad and ensures the
adhesive backed Velcro does not come away from the
underlying arm cup. Replacement arm cup pads are
available from the Sync Ergonomics online store and can be
purchased separately when worn out.
WARNING: Over torquing the cup connection screws will lead to
permanent damage of the arm cup base plate. Sync Ergonomics is
not liable for product damage and/or personal injury resulting from
inappropriate product setup.
