Using your Cowchipper Drop Handlebar is straightforward. Just attach it to your bike following the standard handlebar installation process. Make sure the clamp is tightened properly for safety. When riding, the wide flare in the drops gives you better control and leverage, especially on rough or challenging terrains. 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 clamp periodically to ensure it remains tight. If you plan to attach accessories like the Salsa Anything Cradle or aerobars, make sure they fit properly and are securely fastened. And always wear appropriate safety gear when cycling.
