The "body" of the handlebar catch acts as a stop to align the front wheel

correctly during folding. The correct torque for the securing screw is 9NM.

Operation of catch and nipple: keep thes

handleba

Alignment of the catch, HBC: the

catch itself must be aligned so that

the nipple enters centrally (fig HB3

rather than HB4).

Alignment of the nipple, HBNIP:

this should be in line with the

catch HBC as it enters it during

folding (fig HB5 rather than HB6).

Bear this in mind if making

adjustments as described below.

Offset of the nipple, HBNIP: if the

handlebar itself, or the control

levers/cables, are set too far

forward, th

against the front wheel or fork-

blade and so prevent the nipple

from fully entering the catch (i.e.

as per fig HB8). To remedy, either

reset the handlebar or levers

further back (i.e. further out when

folded), or unscrew the nipple so

that it is further from the support

tube, HBS: the nipple must be

able to enter the catch HBC fully,

as per fig HB7.

If the set up is correct and the

catch remains ineffective, either

replace the h'bar catch, or you

may obtain a temporary cure by

twisting the nipple slightly (i.e. as
