Hot Tip of the Month - February 2010: “Schwinn AC Handlebars coming loose”

The new Schwinn AC Sport and AC Performance models have a handlebar deck with for and aft adjustments. After you find your desired position, you must tighten the Pop pin on the top of the deck and this secures the deck in the slider port of the handlebar post. If you ride in what I call a “cab forward” position, with your weight on the handlebars and a rhythmic motion, this may cause the handlebar deck to loosen. As an instructor you need to coach your riders to keep their body weight centered on the bikes and off the handlebars. As a single rider, you need to police yourself and your position on the bike.
