CONTACT SLR AERO HANDLEBAR INSTRUCTION
Propel and Envie series bikes feature the most aerodynamic handlebar, the Contact SLR Aero
series: the Contact SLR Aero Integrated handlebar or the Contact SLR Aero handlebar.
The Contact SLR Aero Integrated handlebar is a one-piece design that provides the lowest weight
and aerodynamic advantage, and also easy installation and maintenance.
The Contact SLR Aero handlebar is designed with aerodynamic technology and is compatible with
the Giant Contact SLR Stem.
Installation
Ensure the steerer is cut to correct length. Ensure that there is sufficient clamping area for
the stem. Measure twice, cut once. (Refer to section FRONT COMPOSITE FORK)
Install the top cap and compression bolt on top of the stem and into the compression nut.
Note that the top cap sits in a recessed portion of the stem and flush with the top of the
stem when installed correctly.
Ensure that the correct compression nut for the fork is installed inside the steerer tube.
Refer to fork owner’s manual if you are unsure.
Adjust the headset bearing pre-load as per the headset manufacturer’s instructions.
Install the Aero bottom spacer onto the steerer tube first, then adjust the handlebar height
by adding the Aero stepped spacer if necessary. (Refer to Fig Contact SLR Aero Integrated
handlebar backward view on next page)
Align the bar with the front wheel.
Loosely reassemble the bolt on the steerer tube clamp portion of the stem and slide the
stem down onto the steerer tube, gently pressing downward until the stem is seated as
far down the steerer tube as possible and is seated over the step on the Aero stepped
spacer.
Tighten the steerer tube clamp bolt to the torque measurement marked by the laser etch-
ing between or along the steerer tube clamp.
Confirm that there is between 2-4mm of space between the top of the stem body and the
top of the steerer tube.
Alternate tightening between the two fasteners until the torque measurement is achieved.
Ensure that the control unit mounting area is free of dirt and grease.
Install the control units to the handlebar by sliding them into position. Refer to the fig
Contact SLR Aero Handlebar Internal Cable Routing Map for the brake cable and
derailleur cable routing.

CAUTION:
It is possible to crush the steerer tube if fasteners are tightened
beyond the recommended torque values. Never use grease on a carbon fiber
steerer tube. Grease should also be avoided on alloy or steel steerer tubes.
WARNING:
Over-tightening of the handlebar clamp can void the warranty and
lead to loss of control of the bicycle, which may result in severe injury or death.
Note:
Top cap and compression bolt must remain in place at all times when the
bicycle is in use.
Place the handlebar in stem clamp opening, position the faceplate over the handlebar,
and install the faceplate screws until they are finger tight.
Center handlebar and position to your preference in the stem clamp. Tighten screws
enough to secure the handlebar in place.
Tighten the faceplate screws to the recommended torque value etched on the bar.
