Our Factory Fresh kits create an easy way to service your Flexx MTB Handlebar. This kit provides you with all of the necessary parts to perform the service. The Factory Fresh Kit contains contains:
2 bolts, 2 nuts, 4 pin end caps, 1 set of igus bushings for the pivot pins, and your choice of Rebound and Compression Elastomers.
Just like your suspension, elastomers do need to be freshened up. We recommend changing your elastomers yearly to be sure your Flexx Handlebars are performing as intended.
Elastomers included: Soft (blue), medium (yellow), hard (red), and extra hard (black). Compression and rebound. For more elastomer info, click HERE.
Recommended Elastomer Combinations:
BLUE: XC/Gravel, youth, lightweight riders, 140lbs or less
YELLOW: XC/Trail/mild Enduro, 140-165lbs
RED: Enduro/DH, 150lbs-220lbs, most popular set up
BLACK: DH 190lbs +
- A properly tuned Flexx Handlebar should feel natural while riding, absorbing small bumps, chatter and other trail terrain that tends to make your hands and upper body more fatigued. Any diving sensation, bottoming out or "that doesn't feel right" is an indication your set up is too soft.
*The pin end caps do not need to be removed to change elastomers, use blue loctite on the nut and bolt when re-assembling
We recommend our Fiber Bushing Removal Kit if you need to replace the fiber bushing in the pivot pin.

How to service your Flexx MTB Handlebars

Next ship us your bars with the RA# and signed release form, Attn: Factory Fresh. The Factory Fresh service program for Flexx Handlebars is free with the purchase of a Factory Fresh Kit. The Factory Fresh program consists of disassembling and cleaning your Flexx Handlebars, a thorough servicing of the pivots and reassembly with a Flexx Handlebar Factory Fresh Kit. The Factory Fresh Kit contains contains 2 bolts, 2 nuts, 4 pin end caps, pivot bushings for the pivot pin, and your choice of Rebound and Compression Elastomers. Please note that this is only a clean and lube job, in no way does this make your handlebar stronger, last longer or take away any prior damage/neglect. If your Flexx Handlebar is damaged in anyway we will inform you of the damage and what your options are. We will not return damaged handlebars to you as it is a safety concern and liability to yourself.Proper Handle Resistance
Your handles may have some drag or resistance when the elastomer is removed. The drag is caused by the exacting tolerance required for the Flexx Handlebar to offer the utmost in control and reliability. Flexx Handlebar pivot points are most likely the most exacting tolerance on your entire machine and must be so. Too large of a tolerance will not the yield the precise control you as a rider require to perform at your best. It is not only acceptable but preferred to have some drag on the handles. Each side of every Flexx Handlebar System is measured with a strain gauge to be sure the resistance of each handle is within our tolerance. If your bar rebounds to its present ride height after being compressed you should be good to go. If you have any questions concerning this please contact us. *If your pivot pins are damaged they will need to be replaced. A Pivot Pin kit is an additional $20. Download the Service Order FormThe Step by Step Service Process
Two key things to remember
1) Do not mix the pivot pins up. The left pin needs to go back in the left hole, and the right pin in the right hole. We separate our pins and hone our pivot holes to .0001 of an inch. It is crucial to have proper fitment of each pin so there is not front to back play.2) The second key point is do not strike the pivot pin directly with a hammer, press, or any other tool. The best way to protect the pivot pin from "mushrooming" is to use an old M6x1.0 bolt threaded into the pivot pin. Use the bolt to push the pivot pin out.
Tools Required
- 4mm Allen Wrench - To change elastomers
- 3mm Allen Wrench - To remove pin end caps if necessary
- Blue Loctite
- Remove the elastomer nuts and bolts, then remove the elastomers.
- Remove the pin end caps with a 3mm allen.
- Now drive the pins completely out. Again, use a M6x1.0 bolt to protect the pin.
- With pins out you can press the pivot bushings out of the bore. A long 6mm socket can typically be used.
- Clean pivot bores and pins.
- Place the pivot pin in the back side of the bar, square to the bore. You will know the pin is square to the bore when it will not rock easily up, down, or to the side without applying force.
- Align the handle bore with the center section bore then press the pivot bushing through both components.
- Protecting the pivot pin with the m6x1.0 bolt threaded into it, tap the pivot pin all the way through the bore flush with the other end.
- Install the pin end caps, use blue Loc-tite on both the male and female threads. Torque the pin end caps to 4nm with a 3mm allen.
- Install the compression elastomer. Butt the 45* relief in the narrower part of the elastomer up against the handle.
- Install the rebound elastomer on the nut.
- Apply blue Loc-tite to the threads of both the bolt and nut. Only use the torx head to hold the bolt when turning the 4mm nut. The bolt will bottom out in nut, bring the handle to 5* up-sweep.

Favorite Socks Ever
Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted, Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted
I absolutely love these socks, they compress in the middle which is my favorite thing about them! Keeps them from slipping off my feet and also adds support, love love love how they feel and how long they last! This is my second pack that I’ve purchased, I had the multi colored ones before and they’ve lasted me two years before finally starting to wear out and fade and get holes. Definitely going to be routinely buying these every year. Good to wear with my work out shoes...winter boots, Nike sandals, and my everyday adidas sneakers. These are so worth it!

Great ankle socks that stay put at a great price!!
Size: 6-9, Color: Assorted
These are great! I have been looking for a low profile ankle sock that is thinner but doesn’t ride down. (Picky, right?) I try to walk 5-7 miles on my days off. So it’s very important for me to not have to stop every couple of hundred yards, bend down, fix socks, then continue on my way while grumbling about NOT GREAT socks. These are not those socks. They really do stay put!!! And enough cushion to be comfortable also. So definitely a repeat!!

Great quality, no holes or fading!
Size: Medium, Color: Black/Assorted
I purchased these socks a couple years ago and love them so much that I just recently purchased them again! They fit perfectly, don't make my feet sweaty, and hit the ankle at the right spot. The material is so good that over years they have not faded and even though I wear the same few pairs every day, they have no signs of thinning or holes! These are the ONLY socks that I buy. I have the black ones as well as the multi-colored ones. I will never buy another brand or style again!

Well made and perform well, a little constricting
Size: Medium, Color: Black Assortment (6-pairs)
These socks definitely keep most of the moisture away from my feet, even in wet conditions, which is why I bought them. I am diabetic, though, and the recommendation is to wear socks that don't constrict at any point. These have a tight band around the opening that while it is not uncomfortable on, leaves a mark when I take them off. So far it's been ok, but if you have any kind of swelling in your feet or ankles these would probably not be the best. My foot measures size 8 and I wear size 9 Brooks running shoes. The socks fit me just right but based on the size of the opening and the overall length, I wouldn't think they would fit anyone more than a size larger. Overall well made and perform well as you would expect from this brand.
