Proper installation of your Ergon GC1 grips is crucial for optimal performance and comfort. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Prepare the Handlebar:

   Remove existing grips from your bicycle handlebar. If old grips are difficult to remove, a small amount of rubbing alcohol or a heat gun (used carefully) can assist in loosening them. Ensure the handlebar surface is clean and dry before proceeding.

2. Loosen Handlebar Components:

   Atlaisvinkite klamps for your brake levers, shifters, and any other handlebar-mounted accessories. Slide these components inwards, away from the ends of the handlebar, to create space for the new grips.
3. Įdiekite rankenėles:

   Slide the Ergon GC1 grips onto the handlebar ends. Ensure the ergonomic palm rest is oriented correctly to support your hand in a natural, comfortable position when riding. The grips are designed for handlebars with a backward sweep, so align them accordingly.

4. Koreguoti padėtį:

   Once the grips are in place, sit on your bicycle and adjust their rotational angle. Your wrists should be straight, and your hands should rest comfortably on the palm support without excessive pressure points. This may require slight adjustments to the grip angle and the position of your brake levers and shifters.

5. Priveržkite Clamps:

   Using an appropriate hex key, tighten the aluminum clamp bolts on each grip. The recommended torque specification is typically marked on the clamp (e.g., 5 Nm). Per daug nepriveržkite, as this can damage the handlebar or the grip. If you have a torque wrench, use it to ensure precise tightening.
6. Reposition Accessories:

   Slide your brake levers, shifters, and other accessories back into their desired positions, snug against the new grips. Tighten their clamps securely, ensuring they are easily accessible and functional.
