Using this Salsa Cowbell Drop Handlebar is easy. Just attach it to your bike following the standard installation process for handlebars with a 31.8mm clamp diameter. When riding, take advantage of the 12-degree flare to keep your hands, wrists, and arms in a relaxed position, especially during long rides or races. For maintenance, clean the handlebar regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the bead-blasted finish. Check the tightness of the clamp periodically to ensure it stays secure. Store the bike in a dry place to prevent rusting of the aluminum material. If you plan to use accessories like the Salsa Anything Cradle or aerobars, make sure they are properly attached and adjusted for a comfortable and safe ride.
