Aerobarinstallation

1. Ensurehandlebaris compatiblewithsteerertube.Makecertainthatthe diameterofthe steerertubematchesthe VisionMetronSnakebiteStemSteererClamp size1-1/8 (28.6mm).

2. Install basebar ①to stemfirstbyselecting the desired basebarheight.TheMetronTFAAerobarBaseBar ①can havea+/-25mm drop orrisedepending onwhichdirectionthe basebaris placed inthe StemBody ⑤.

3. SlideMetronTFABaseBar ①into the slot onthe StemBody ⑤.Placethe ConicalBar/StemFixingNut ③into the twoholesimmediatelyrightandleftofthe housingportunderthestem.UseStemFixingBolt ⑥andscrewinto

the ConicalBar/StemFixing Nut ③.Torqueto 60 kgf.cm /6Nm/ 53 in.lbs.Note: becarefulnot to clamp brakehousing orelectronicwiring wheninstalling the StemFixing Bolts ⑥orConicalStem/BarFixing Nuts ③.

4. AssembleUpperAngleAdjustmentBracket ⑮and AeroExtensionArmrestMount togetherusing AngleAdjustmentBolt ⑳andAngleAdjustmentGripNut ⑭

5. SlideAeroExtensions

27 into AeroExtensionMount .Setto desiredlengthandrotationangle.Tighten AngleAdjustmentBolt ⑳to torqueof70 kgf.cm/7Nm /62in.lbs., then tighten ExtensionFixingbolts ⑲to 40 kgf.cm

/ 4Nm / 35 in.lbs..

Ensurethe minimuminsertionlengthindicationonthe AeroExtensions

27 (MIN^INSERT)is beyond the AeroExtension/ ArmrestMount ends.Riding the barwithoutthe “MIN^INSERT line insidethe mount

can causedamageandunexpected barfailurecausingaccidentand injury.

6. PlaceLowerAngleAdjustmentBracket ⑬underUpperAngleAdjustmentBracket ⑮making sureto alignthe wiring groves.Torque ExtensionWidthSpacerBolts ②to 70 kgf.cm/ 7Nm / 62 in.lbs.

7. Toadjustangleofaerobarextensions

27 ,Usea5mm hexkeyloosen twoorthree full turns all 4ExtensionWidthSpacerBolts ②then witha6mm hexkeyto loosen the AngleAdjustmentBolt ⑳until AngleAdjustmentGrip

Nut ⑭slides freely.Setto desired angleand tightenAngleAdjustmentBolt ⑳withAngleAdjustmentGripNut ⑭to 70 kgf.cm / 7Nm/ 62 in.lbs.TorqueExtensionWidthSpacerBolts ②to 70 kgf.cm/ 7Nm / 62 in.lbs.

8. Install Bridge

22 withBridgeFixingBolts

23 insuring thatwiring groovesonleftand right-angleadjustmentassembliesarebothfacing the samedirectionandback.Alternating torquebolts to 60 kgf.cm / 6Nm/ 53 in.lbs.

9. Install ArmrestAdjustmentPlates ⑰fordesired fit positionusing ArmrestAdjustmentPlateBolts ⑱.Torque to 20 kgf.cm/ 2Nm / 18 lbf.in.

10. See Table1forStackSpacers , ⑪, ⑫and bolt configurationto adjusttheAeroExtension/ArmrestMounts to the desiredheight.

11. Install ArmrestPad Plate

24,Evenlytighten ArmrestPlateFixing Bolts

25.Donot tighten above20 kgf.cm/ 2Nm / 18 lbf.in.

12. Removethe adhesiveVelcroStrips fromArmrestPads

26 andattachto thetop surfaceofleftandrightArmrestPad Plate

24 .

13. Install the ExpanderAssembly ④into the CarbonSteerer.Tightenthe ExpanderAssemblywitha6mm hexwrenchto 60-90 kgf.cm/ 6-9Nm/ 53-80 in.lbs.oftorque.

14. PlacetheStemBody ⑤onto the CarbonSteerer,tightenthe CompressionCap&Bolt ⑦witha4mm hexwrenchto until properbearingpreloadisachieved.Note: Properbearingpreloadisapparentwhenthereisno “knock

(fore/aftorup / downfreeplay)inthe headsetassembly,whilethe bearings rotatefreely(free steeringmotion).

15. Ensurehandlebarisalignedstraightandgraduallytightenthe SteererClampBolt

29 ,byalternatingturningeachscrews1/4to 1/2turnatatimesobothscrewstighten simultaneouslyto 60 kgf.cm/6Nm/53 in.lbs DONOT

exceedmaximumtorque specification.Always useacalibrated torque wrench.

16. Install StemTop Plate ⑧to StemBody ⑤useStemTopPlateBolt ⑨Torque to 10 kgf.cm /1Nm / 9in.lbs.

WiringInstallationTips

1. Brake/electronicwiring should berun throughtheMetronTFAAerobarBaseBar ①beforeinstalling StemBody ⑤orAeroExtension/ArmrestMounts .

2. Installationis greatlyimproved whenusingaguidecableto gentlypull the housing orelectronicwires throughthe basebarfromeitherdirection.

3. IfArmrestStackSpacers , ⑪, ⑫arebeingusedinconjunctionwithwiredelectronicshiftingonthe AeroExtensions ,useelectricaltapeto holdwiringinthe guideslotsonthe spacers.Small portsoneithersideofthe Stem

Body ⑤aredesigned ONLYto allowelectronicshifting wires to berun internallythroughthe StemBody ⑤ifdesired.

Neverattemptto modifythe cableguideholes.Donot drill,saw,orfilethe holeslargerorto adifferentshape.Modificationswill voidwarrantyandmayresult infailureofthe handlebarwhileridingcausingaccident,

AeroExtensionLengthAdjustment

Itmaybenecessaryto trimaeroextensionsifthe rearoftheextensionprotrudesbehindthe mount.Aerobars can onlybecutfromtherear.DoNOTcutthe aerobarsextensionsfromthe front.Cuttingaerobars fromthe frontwill

void the warranty.Makecarefulmeasurments beforecutting and besureofthecutlocation.Cutting an aeroextensionis aone-timeandfinaladjustment.

Donot cutbeyond the(MIN^INSERT)line indicators ontheextensions.Cutting beyond the line indicatorsmaymakeit impossibleto install shifters into the extensions.

1. Useasharp hacksawbladeforbestresults onalloyaerobars.Forcarbonaerobars,an abrasivebladewill work best.Applyalayeroftapearound area to becutto reducepossibilityofcarbonfraying whilecutting.
