FAQs
What is the exact diameter of the clamp opening?
The clamp is designed for a 34mm diameter jockey wheel or prop stand tube.
Are bolts and nuts included with the clamp?
No, bolts and nuts for mounting are not included. You will need to supply appropriate hardware (typically M10) for your specific application.
How do I install the jockey wheel after fitting the clamp?
The split clamp design allows you to position the clamp around the jockey wheel tube and then tighten it. To remove the jockey wheel, simply loosen the clamp bolts.
What is the benefit of the split clamp design?
The split design allows for easier and faster removal or adjustment of the jockey wheel compared to a solid clamp, without needing to feed the wheel up or down the tube.
Can this clamp be used on a prop stand?
Yes, this clamp is also designed for use with prop stands that have a 34mm diameter tube.
What is the spacing of the mounting holes?
The mounting holes are 10mm in diameter and are spaced 105mm apart center-to-center.
Is this clamp suitable for marine environments?
The galvanised finish offers good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for many outdoor environments. However, for constant submersion or extreme marine conditions, specialized marine-grade hardware might be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Clamp does not fit jockey wheel
Verify that the jockey wheel tube diameter is exactly 34mm. This clamp is not designed for other sizes.
Clamp slips or loosens during use
Ensure that the mounting bolts are tightened sufficiently. Check for any debris or damage on the clamp or jockey wheel tube that might be preventing a secure grip.
Rust appearing on the clamp
While galvanised, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can eventually lead to surface rust. Clean gently with a soft brush and water. For persistent rust, consider applying a rust inhibitor suitable for galvanized surfaces.
