Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward. Begin by selecting the appropriate shim provided in the box to match your handlebar or stem diameter (22 mm to 38 mm). Secure the clamp firmly using the integrated bolt system, ensuring it is tightened to manufacturer specifications to prevent slippage. When attaching accessories, ensure the total weight does not exceed the 300-gram limit to maintain stability. Periodically check the mounting bolts after long rides or transport, as vibrations can lead to loosening over time. To clean, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemical degreasers that may damage the finish.
