Using these handlebars is a breeze. Just attach them to your bike as you would with any other handlebars. Make sure to adjust them to a comfortable position so your hands rest naturally at the 45 - degree angle. When riding, these handlebars will give you great control, whether you're on gravel roads or bikepacking. As for maintenance, keep them clean. You can use a mild soap and water to wipe them down after a dirty ride. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the black anodised sand blast finish. Check the tightness of the attachments regularly to ensure they're secure. And if you notice any signs of wear or damage, it's best to get them checked out by a professional.
