Full details
The KlickFix Map Holder is designed for cyclists who need quick and easy access to maps or navigation devices while riding. Its primary benefit is secure, transparent display of maps in various sizes, combined with a convenient quick-release system. A potential caveat is its reliance on the KlickFix handlebar/stem mounting system, which may require separate purchase or existing compatibility. This German-engineered accessory offers a practical solution for cyclists navigating unfamiliar routes or participating in events requiring map-based navigation.

FAQs
What sizes of maps can this holder accommodate?
The holder is designed to accommodate standard map sizes and card formats that fit within its clamp. It's suitable for most folded paper maps and route cards.
Do I need a special adapter for this map holder?
Yes, the map holder requires a KlickFix handlebar or stem adapter, which is sold separately if you do not already have one installed on your bike.
Can I use this with my GPS device?
While it can hold flat devices like some GPS units, it's primarily designed for paper maps and cards. Bulky GPS devices with integrated mounts may not fit securely.
How easy is it to remove the map holder?
It features a quick-release function, allowing for very easy and fast removal from the KlickFix adapter without tools.
Is the plexiglass durable?
The plexiglass is designed for regular use, but like all clear plastics, it can be scratched. Gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is recommended.
Can I combine this with a handlebar bag?
Yes, it is designed to be compatible with KlickFix handlebar bags, allowing you to use both simultaneously on your bike.
Troubleshooting
Map holder won't click into the adapter.
Ensure the KlickFix adapter is correctly installed and free of obstructions. Verify that the map holder's mounting tabs are aligned properly with the adapter's slots.
Clamp is difficult to open or close.
Check for any debris or dirt caught in the clamp mechanism. Gently clean the clamp with a soft brush or damp cloth and ensure it moves freely.
Map is not held securely.
Make sure the map is positioned correctly within the holder and that the clamp is closed with sufficient pressure. For thicker maps or cards, ensure they are within the holder's capacity.
Plexiglass surface appears cloudy or smudged.
Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap if necessary. Dry with a lint-free cloth to avoid streaks.
