ROAD CONTROL CENTER
SET BRAKE/SHIFT LEVER HEIGHT
1. Remove bar tape.
2. Slide levers up the bar, so the clamps are roughly at the foremost portion of the bend.
3. Lay a straightedge against the bottom of the drop (you can tape it in place, or just hold it with one hand)
4. Position each lever so the tip just touches the straightedge.
5. Slide a 5-mm hex wrench under the rubber brake hood and snug each clamp bolt just enough to hold the lever in position.

ALIGN BRAKE/SHIFT LEVER WITH BAR
1. Stand over the bike and look down at the bar.
2. Align the lever hood with the handlebar drops.
3. Adjust the lever hood to your preference. Some riders prefer a slight inward cant, but straight ahead is the best place to start.

TIGHTENING TIP: The levers should be tight enough so that they won't slide when you put your full weight on the hoods, but loose enough so that you can still twist them in and out if you apply significant force—this lets them move in a crash instead of breaking.
FINE-TUNE HANDLEBAR/STEM POSITION
1. Make sure handlebar is centered in the clamp. (Index marks are usually etched into the bar's center to help you orient it.)
2. Rotate the bar so the hoods and drops feel comfortable
