Troubleshooting
Guards feel loose after installation
Ensure the Velcro straps are securely fastened. If the issue persists, check if your fork diameter is within the 43-48mm range or consider adding a small piece of grip tape to the inside of the guard for extra friction.
Velcro straps not holding securely
Clean the Velcro surfaces to remove any dirt or debris. If the Velcro is worn out, it may need to be replaced.
Guard does not fit correctly
Verify that your fork diameter falls within the specified 43-48mm range. Minor adjustments might be needed for specific fork designs. Ensure the guard is oriented correctly.
