Page 10: Section C - Marking And Drilling The Mounting Holes
Remove the bars and the mounting spacers/wedges from the bike and mark the REAR mounting hole on both bars. Do not drill mounting holes beyond the black holes marked on the grid as the mounting post should not protrude beyond the flat area. FastTT Aero Bar Installation Guide - TKP v8 www.fastTT.bike... - Page 11 A VERY sharp craft knife, box cutter or scalpel is recommended. Using the 2.5mm pilot hole as a guide, drill the rear mounting hole - use 6mm drill for M5 (5mm) screws, 7mm drill for M6 (6mm) screws. FastTT Aero Bar Installation Guide - TKP v8 www.fastTT.bike...

Page 15: Section D - Adjusting Bar Height
SECTION D - ADJUSTING BAR HEIGHT On FastTT spacers, the round locator domes will ensure that the spacers align perfectly. If you are only using our mounting spacers and not the angled wedges, then you should file off the round locator domes on the TOP SPACER to ensure a flush fit against the bar. -
Page 16: Section E - Finishing Off
IMPORTANT SERVICE NOTE! After a few rides we recommend that you check and retighten the mounting bolts on your FastTT Aero Bars. The bolts can become slightly loose after initial riding due to natural bedding in of the bolts into the carbon mounting base. This can potentially cause a small amount of lateral movement in the bar. -
Page 17: Section F - Warranty And Disclaimer
SECTION F – WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER WARRANTY FastTT Aero Bars are lightweight carbon competition units. In the event of a fall or harsh impact, please check the bars carefully for any visible damage. Whilst carbon fibre is exceptionally strong, it does not tolerate impacts, and damage that is invisible to the naked eye can occur.
