Allows bags, baskets or backpacks to be attached on to seat posts. NOTE: Requires KLICKfix Adapter...Allows bags, baskets or backpacks to be attached on to seat posts. NOTE: Requires KLICKfix Adapter which is sold seperately. Ideal on bikes without carrier (depending on the amount of space on your bike). Easy mounting with stainless steel strap on any seat post of O 25-32mm. Both versions of the handlebar adapter head (version with lock and without lock) can be mounted onto the Extender bracket. Requires KLICKfix KF850 adapter which is sold separately.
The Rixen-Kaul KLICKfix Seatpost Extender Bracket is designed for adult cyclists looking to add carrying capacity to bikes that may lack traditional rack mounts. Its key benefit is providing a versatile mounting point for bags, baskets, or backpacks directly to the seatpost. A significant caveat is that it requires a separate KLICKfix Adapter to function with accessories, and sufficient space on the bike's seatpost area is necessary.

FAQs
Do I need anything else besides the Seatpost Extender Bracket?
Yes, you absolutely need a KLICKfix Adapter (sold separately) to connect your KLICKfix accessories to this bracket.
What size seatposts does this bracket fit?
It is designed to fit seatposts with a diameter ranging from 25mm to 32mm.
Can I mount a large pannier bag?
The capacity depends on the specific KLICKfix bag used and the weight limit your bicycle's seatpost can safely support. Always check the specifications of both your seatpost and the accessory.
Will this work on a carbon seatpost?
While it fits the diameter, caution is advised with carbon seatposts. Ensure the strap is not overtightened, as this could damage the carbon. Using a rubber shim might provide better grip without excessive force. Always consult your seatpost manufacturer's guidelines.
Can I lock my bag to the bike with this bracket?
Yes, if you use the KLICKfix Adapter version that includes a lock, you can secure your bag to the bracket, which is attached to the seatpost.
How easily can I remove the bracket?
The bracket itself is attached with a strap. Removing it requires loosening and undoing the strap, which is a manual process.
Is the KLICKfix Adapter included with the bracket?
No, the KLICKfix Adapter is sold separately and is required for attaching accessories.
Troubleshooting
Bracket feels loose on the seatpost
Ensure the stainless steel strap is fully tightened. Check that the seatpost diameter is within the 25-32mm range. If the strap continues to slip, consider using a thin rubber shim between the strap and the seatpost for added grip.
Accessory does not click securely into place
Verify that you are using a genuine KLICKfix Adapter and that it is correctly mounted to the Seatpost Extender Bracket. Ensure the accessory's locking mechanism is functioning properly.
Difficulty mounting due to tight space
Assess if there is enough clearance on the seatpost for the bracket and adapter. Some bikes, particularly those with complex suspension or internal cable routing near the seatpost, may not have adequate space.
Rust or corrosion on the stainless steel strap
While stainless steel is resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can cause minor surface rust. Clean with a soft cloth and a mild metal polish if necessary. Ensure the bracket is dried after exposure to moisture.
