Here's how to do it, step by step: *Remove bar ends and grips. Use a 5mm Allen wrench for the bar ends, and peel back the grips or cut them off. Try to get soapy water, or alcohol, under them to help get them off. *Squirt water or alcohol inside the grips when replacing. *Remove the old shifter using a 3mm Allen wrench, and replace the brake lever if you had to remove it to get the old shifter off. *Loosen and move the brake lever inward a bit to make room for the new shifter. *Select the Right or Left shifter and slide on the handlebar with cable facing in. *Slide the plastic washer over the handlebar where the shifter meets the grip. *Replace the grip and the bar end. *Put the Grip shift up against the grip with the washer between, and rotate the shifter so the barrel does not interfere with the brake lever. *Tighten the grip shift with a 3mm Allen wrench, and make sure it is not on a curved part of the handlebar. *Position the brake lever where you want and re-tighten it. *Re-install or replace cable and tighten it. |
