Hi all,
I have been happily using risers on my handlebars for about a year now. Recently I managed to hit a fairly deep pot hole in the road which managed to move the bars away from me by an inch. When I set it up, I made sure all the bolts on the clamp were torqued correctly, and the clamp having an equal gap fore and aft.
I seem to recall seeing a pic with the clamp hard down on one side. Is this the correct way to fit them, leaving a bigger gap on the other? Does that in fact grip the bar better, even though the torque on the bolts is the same?
Cheers
Dave
 
Thanks for that. Mine are Rox risers, the instructions didn’t come with any photos. I’ll refit, and see how I get on.
Cheers
Dave
