Troubleshooting
Bar pad does not fit snugly.
Ensure you are using it with compatible braced handlebars. If the fit is still loose, consider adding extra securement methods like zip ties (though this is not the intended installation method).
Cover appears to be tearing or degrading.
Review the care instructions. Avoid harsh cleaners. If damage is due to manufacturing defect, contact the retailer for warranty information.
Pad slides around during riding.
Confirm the pad is the correct size for your handlebar's center clamp. Ensure the handlebar is clean and free of grease before installation. For some setups, additional grip material inside the pad might help.
