stem.are.in.their.final.position.and.do.not.need.to.be.raised,.extended.

cover
[ A1 ] ..If.necessary,.you.can.remove.the.cover.by.hand.and.clip.it.to.
the.brake.arms.again.later..It.is.not.necessary.to.unscrew.the.screws. ( 1 ) .
on.the.guard.
L L A.thin.wire.may.be.helpful.for.inserting.the.brake.hose.into.the.time-
trial.handlebar.or.through.the.bicycle.frame...
Run.it.in.the.opposite.direction.through.the.outlet.to.the.inlet.of.the.
handlebar.or.frame.and.fix.it.to.the.end.of.the.brake.hose.with.adhesive.
tape..Do.not.insert.the.wire.into.the.brake.hose.–.you.will.lose.oil!.
Carefully.pulling.with.the.wire.and.pushing.the.brake.hose.at.the.same.
time.will.make.it.easier.to.find.the.outlet.
L L Before.installing.your.brake.decide.which.brake.lever.(right.or.left).you.
want.to.allocate.to.your.front.wheel.or.rear.wheel..
