FAQs
What tools do I need for installation?
You will need a hex key (Allen wrench) of the appropriate size to tighten the bolts. The size required varies and is usually included with the accessory you are mounting, or is part of a standard bike tool kit.
What types of forks are compatible?
The SKS Direct Angled Fork Mount is designed to fit Rock Shox and Suntour forks that have mudguard mounts.
How do I ensure the accessory is securely mounted?
Tighten all bolts firmly but avoid over-tightening. Regularly check for any loosening during rides.
Can I use this mount for lights?
Yes, you can use this mount for lights, provided your fork has the appropriate mudguard mounts and the accessory fits securely.
How do I clean the mount?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
What if the bolts strip during installation?
If a bolt strips, stop immediately. Contact SKS customer support for replacement parts. Avoid forcing the bolt, as this may damage the mount.
Is the mount adjustable?
The angled design offers some flexibility in positioning, but the basic mounting position is fixed to your fork's mudguard mounts.
