3.3 BRAKE LEVERS POSITION
Our bikes are already set up to offer you optimal ergonomics.
However, if you wish to adjust your cockpit, we advise you to proceed as follows:
1. To ensure a good lever position, loosen the screw(s) holding the lever onto
the brake attachment, then adjust the angle so that it is in line with your
forearms when you are in riding position (Figure 10).
2. Adjust the distance of the brake lever from the grip in order to easily use the
brake lever with two fingers (Figure 11).
3. Retighten the screws on the brake attachments to 6 Nm.

Safety Reminder:
To avoid locking the wheels while braking, it is recommended that you pull the brake levers
gradually.
The left brake lever acts on the front brake and the right brake lever acts on the rear brake.
(bikes sold in the UK, Australia, New-Zealand and Japan have inverted brakes). Being a major
safety device, the brakes must be adjusted by a professional bike mechanic.
3.4 HEADSET
The headset is made up of two bearings and cups placed at each end of head tube. All
Moustache bikes have an « A-head » head set: this is adjusted using the round hood which is
found above the stem (as in Figure 12).
During more intense rides, the headset is put under incredible stress. It is therefore possible
that play will develop. Be careful, riding with any play in your head set can deteriorate your head
set and even your frame.
In order to check if your head set is in good shape, there are two simple tests that should be
carried out before you ride:
TEST 1 : With the front brake on, try to move your bike forward and back. You will immediately
notice if there is a high level of play or not.
TEST 2 : Make the front wheel of your bike bounce. You will hear a sharp loud noise only if there
is significant play in the head set.
