Using the Salsa Cowchipper Drop Handlebar is easy. First, make sure it fits your bike's stem with the 31.8mm clamp diameter. You can attach accessories like the Salsa Anything Cradle or aerobars to the 120mm width area. When riding, the 24-degree flare in the drops gives you better control, especially on rough or long rides. As for maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it with a damp cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the bead-blasted finish. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, it's a good idea to have it checked by a professional bike mechanic. And remember, always adjust the handlebar to a comfortable position for you before hitting the road.
