Adjustable handlebars
•
Your new Catrike adjustable handlebars can be adjusted in many ways to give each Catrike
owner a custom fit. The long, horizontal portion of the handlebar has a gentle incline to it. For
those riders who prefer lower handlebars, this can be installed upside down to provide a gentle
downward slope. The same holds true for the shorter grip portion of the handlebar. It has a
gentle angle leaning forward, but can be reversed. You can see the difference in mounting in
the pictures below. The picture on the top shows the recommended standard setup.
The handlebar sets come in left and right sides. When mounting them upside down, simply
swap sides to keep the heads of the screws on the inside of the trike, making them easier to
reach with the allen key.
TIP: Be sure the tightening bolts are completely loosened before attempting to move or rotate the short grip portion of the handlebar to
avoid scratching the paint.
They can be adjusted wide out for a better turning radius or in close to the body for better aerodynamics. The "twist" of the grip portion
of the handlebar is also fully adjustable.
Install the tie rod.
Next comes the tie rod.
The rod goes under the seat side rails and over the main
frame tube, and bolts in place on top of the small plates on
the spindle assemblies.
•
All tie rods now come with two right hand thread ends. For now, just install the tie rod. We'll be checking the toe later in the assembly
instructions.
They can be adjusted to be long or short
for better ergonomics. When adjusting
the handlebars in short, the excess post
can be used for mounting mirrors or a
computer.
