Using your Salsa Cowchipper Deluxe Drop Handlebar is a breeze. First, make sure to properly install it on your bike according to the manufacturer's instructions. When riding, adjust your hand position on the handlebar for different needs. The drops are great for more speed and control on flat or downhill sections, while the top part of the bar is comfortable for long, steady rides. As for maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it with a damp cloth regularly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the polished finish. Check the tightness of the clamp periodically to ensure it's secure. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, such as cracks or loose parts, stop using it immediately and have it inspected or replaced. Also, be careful when using accessories on it to avoid over - tightening and damaging the handlebar.
