How do I mount my new parts?
CLEAN EVERYTHING BEFORE MOUNTING with Isopropyl alchohol. This includes your existing parts and your NEW LP parts (i.e. if you are mounting new bar ends on an existing handlebar - clean both!). This will improve the cripping ability of the LP clamps and the clamps of your existing parts.
Are your handle bars compatible with
bar ends?
Yes, the B3 and B5's are reinforced with G10 inserts. (See below) The XC and DH's have thicker walls which allow for their use.
Can I cut down my handle bars?
The XC and DH's can be cut using a sharp hack saw. The B3 and B5's can also be cut but by doing so you will lose the reinforcing inserts for the bar ends.
