FAQs
Does it fit all smartphones?
The included COM/SMARTBAG is designed to accommodate most common smartphone sizes, but check the internal dimensions against your specific device and case.
Can I use it on a mountain bike?
Yes, the mount is specifically engineered to be stable enough for rough off-road cycling and mountain bike trails.
Is the bag truly waterproof?
The COM/SMARTBAG is highly weather-resistant and designed to keep your phone protected from rain and spray, though it is not rated for full submersion.
Can I rotate the phone while riding?
Yes, the mount allows you to rotate your device between vertical and horizontal positions by twisting it 90 degrees.
Is any extra hardware required for installation?
The kit includes the necessary components to replace your existing ahead cap, assuming you have a standard threadless headset system.
Troubleshooting
Phone case feels loose in the mount
Check the bayonet locking ring on the back of the bag for debris and ensure it is fully rotated to the locked position.
Touch screen is unresponsive
Ensure the phone is pressed firmly against the internal surface of the bag window and there is no moisture trapped between the two layers.
Mount feels wobbly
Verify that the ahead cap bolt is properly tightened and that the mount is seated flush against the stem face.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, remove your current ahead cap and replace it with the SKS COMPIT stem mount, ensuring the steer tube bolt is tightened to your bike manufacturer's torque specifications. The system is designed for standard ahead stems; always check your stem cap bolt length before installation. To care for your mount, keep the bayonet locking mechanism clean from grit and mud by wiping it with a damp cloth periodically. The clear screen of the COM/SMARTBAG should be wiped clean with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to prevent scratching that could impede touch sensitivity over time.
