• Insert dual-threaded post into underside of brake lever.
• It may be useful to screw M4 socket head cap screw into dual-threaded boss to make it easier to hold.
• Add a drop of thread locker to flat-end threads of M4 set screw.
• Using 2mm hex bit, insert M4 set screw into grip side of brake lever as shown.
• Rotate dual-threaded boss as needed to align threaded hole with set screw
• Thread set screw through dual-threaded boss until it stops.
• Torque to 1-1.5Nm
• If used, remove M4 socket head cap screw from dual-threaded boss.

ReMote IS-II

• Using a 4mm hex wrench, remove lever mounting screw from the left brake lever
• Using a 2mm hex wrench or toothpick, push where marked "Push to Open" to release the brake lever safety pin
• Brake lever will now be free of the handlebar.
• Pull gently to remove the plastic spacer from the inside of the brake lever clamp and set aside
• Rub any remaining adhesive from the inside of the brake lever
• Place the curved surface of the ReMote between the handlebar and brake lever
• Close hinged clamp
• The lever safety pin will re-engage
• Reattach brake lever to handlebar
• Adjust ReMote angle to suit rider preference (it may be helpful to use the right shift paddle as a reference).
• Torque lever mounting screw to manufacturer's specification.

 

ReMote for Magura

• Remove the two bolts from the Mugura brake clamp
• Replace the top part of the clamp with the ReMote mount for Magura
• Tighten the lower clamping screw with a T25 torx until the clamp bottoms against the lever
• Tighten the upper screw with a torque of 4Nm max
• There will be a gap at the top of the clamp, which is the opposite of where the gap is with stock clamp. This is done to create a hard joint where the ReMote is mounted.

   

ReMote for Shimano IS-EV (I-Spec EV)

• Using a 4mm Allen wrench (1) loosen the mounting bolt. (2) Press the recessed area of the clamp band with a tool such as a 2 mm hexagon wrench.

 

• Brake lever will now be free of the handlebar

• Place the #16 t-nut into the curved recess in the lower half of the handlebar clamp

• Attach the Remote Lever and IS-EV fitment to the t-nut with the #14 M.5 X 8 bolt. Use extra care as these have a fine thread and a low torque. 

• Adjust ReMote lever to preferred angle

 

ReMote Lever

• Route cable housing from dropper post to ReMote so as to ensure smooth bends, sufficient room for free handlebar movement. Secure so as not to interfere with suspension, wheels, rider, or other moving parts
• If your dropper post has a cable fixing clamp at the post end:
• Cut barrel from cable
• Fasten cut cable end at dropper post according to manufacturer’s instructions
• Screw barrel adjuster fully into ReMote body
• Use 2.5mm hex key to back cable clamping screw and captive washer 2-3mm out of ReMote lever
• Run cable through housing to ReMote and through ReMote barrel adjuster
• Route cable through groove, under cable clamping screw/washer, and out behind lever
• Pulling cable snug, use torque wrench and 2.5mm bit to tighten cable clamping screw to 1-2Nm
• Cable may loosen slightly- this is expected and part of the self-tightening orientation of the clamping hardware
• Do not overtighten. Screw head is designed to fail before lever threads are damaged.
• Use barrel adjuster to remove slack from cable
• Some posts require a small amount of play at the lever- refer to manufacturer’s  instructions for setup guidelines
• A too-tight cable may result in seatpost slippage or damage
• If slack cannot be removed, loosen cable clamping screw and return to previous step.
• Use M3 hex key to loosen lateral adjustment screw and move to preferred lever position.
• Lever assembly may be snug on base and require screw removal prior to adjustment
• Use torque wrench and 3mm hex bit to tighten lateral adjustment screw to 1-2Nm.
• Test dropper post function, adjusting barrel adjuster to remove excessive play or tailor engagement point.
• Trim cable such that end sits entirely behind lever
• Install cable crimp to prevent fraying
