Aerobar installation
1. Install TriMax Carbon SI Base Bar to stem first by selecting the desired base bar height. The
①
TriMax Carbon Si can have a +/-25mm drop or rise depending on which direction the base bar is placed in the Stem.
2. Slide TriMax Carbon SI Base Bar into Stem.
①
Ensure Base Bar is aligned straight and gradually tighten the stem bolts to the stem manufacturer
’
s recommended torque. Always use a calibrated torque wrench.
3. Use Angle Adjustment Grip Nut
⑧
and Angle Adjustment Bolt
⑭
to install the Upper Angle Adjustment Bracket
⑨
to the Bridge
⑩
.
4. Slide Aero Extensions
⑪
into Bridge
⑩
. Set to desired length and rotation angle. Tighten Angle Adjustment Bolt
⑭
to torque of 71 kgf.cm / 7 Nm / 62 in.lbs. then tighten Extension Fixing bolts
⑮
to 41 kgf.cm / 4 Nm / 35 in.lbs.
Ensure the minimum insertion length indication on the Aero Extensions
⑪
(MIN^INSERT) is flush with the Bridge ends. Riding the bar without the MIN^INSERT behind the mount can cause damage and
⑩
unexpected bar failure causing accident and injury.
5. Place Lower Angle Adjustment Bracket
⑦
under Upper Angle Adjustment Bracket
⑨
making sure to align the wiring groves. Place the Bottom Cover into the two holes immediately under the Base Bar.
③
Insert Extension Width
Spacer Bolts
②
and torque to 71 kgf.cm / 7 Nm / 62 in.lbs.
6. To adjust angle of Aero Extensions
⑪
, use a 5mm hex key loosen two or three full turns all 4 Extension Width Spacer Bolts then with a
②
5mm hex key to loosen the Angle Adjustment Bolt
⑭
until Angle Adjustment Grip Nut
⑧
slides freely. Set to desired angle and tighten Angle Adjustment Bolt
⑭
with Angle Adjustment Grip Nut
⑧
to 71 kgf.cm / 7 Nm / 62 in.lbs. Torque Extension Width Spacer Bolts to 7
②
1 kgf.cm / 7 Nm / 62 in.lbs.
7. Install Armrest Adjustment Plates
⑱
to Bridge
⑩
for desired fit position using Armrest Plate Fixing Bolts
⑰
. Torque to 41 kgf.cm / 4 Nm / 35 in.lbs.
8. See Table 1 for Stack Spacers , ,
④ ⑤ ⑥
and bolt configuration to adjust the Armrest Pad Plate
⑱
to the desired height.
9. Install Armrest Pad Plate
⑱
, Evenly tighten Armrest Plate Fixing Bolts
⑰
. Do not tighten above 41 kgf.cm / 4 Nm / 35 in.lbs.
10. Remove the adhesive Velcro Strips from Armrest Pads
⑯
and attach to the top surface of left and right Armrest Pad Plate

Wiring Installation Tips
1. Brake/electronic wiring should be run through the TriMax Carbon Si Base Bar
①
before installing Base Bar
①
or Bridge
⑩
.
2. Installation is greatly improved when using a guide cable to gently pull the housing or electronic wires through the base bar from either direction.
3. If Armrest Stack Spacers ,
④
,
⑤
,
⑥
are being used in conjunction with wired electronic shifting on the Lower Angle Adjustment Bracket
⑦
, use electrical tape to hold wiring in the guide slots on the spacers.
Never attempt to modify the cable guide holes. Do not drill, saw, or file the holes larger or to a different shape. Modifications will void warranty and may result in failure of the handlebar while riding causing accident,
injury, or death.
Aero Extension Length Adjustment
It may be necessary to trim aero extensions if the rear of the extension protrudes behind the mount. Aerobars can only be cut from the rear. Do NOT cut the aerobars extensions from the front. Cutting aerobars from the front will
void the warranty. Make careful measurments before cutting and be sure of the cut location. Cutting an aero extension is a one-time and final adjustment.
Do not cut beyond the (MIN^INSERT) line indicators on the extensions.
1. Use a sharp hacksaw blade for best results on alloy aerobars. For carbon aerobars, an abrasive blade will work best. Apply a layer of tape around area to be cut to reduce possibility of carbon fraying while cutting.
2. Use a cutting guide for the saw blade to ensure an even cut of the aerobar. Cut the extension to desired length.
3. Remove any burrs or frayed carbon strands with sand paper.
