With a drop/reach of 116/68mm and specific angles (24 deg flare and 12 deg drop), it provides excellent control. It has a bead - blasted finish, a 120mm width for use with Salsa Anything Cradle and aerobars, and external cable routing. It's round on the bar top and compatible with clip - ons.
Using your Cowchipper Drop Handlebar is straightforward. Just attach it to your bike's stem using the 31.8mm clamp. When riding, you'll notice the improved comfort and control, especially in the drops with the 24 - degree flare. For different riding styles, you can attach accessories like the Salsa Anything Cradle or aerobars. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean. Wipe it down after each ride with a soft cloth to remove dirt and grime. If it gets wet, dry it thoroughly to prevent corrosion. Check the clamp regularly to make sure it's tight. If you notice any damage, like cracks or bends, replace the handlebar immediately for your safety.
