Troubleshooting

Clamp is difficult to adjust to the tyre size.

Ensure the locking pins or adjustment mechanism is clean and free of debris. Try wiggling the sections gently while adjusting.

Lock mechanism is stiff or won't turn.

Apply a graphite-based lubricant or a specialized lock lubricant to the keyhole and mechanism. Insert and turn the key multiple times to work the lubricant in.

Rust appears on the clamp.

Clean the affected area with a wire brush and apply a rust inhibitor or a thin coat of protective oil.

Clamp does not fit securely on the tyre.

Re-adjust the clamp to ensure it is properly sized for the tyre width and centered on the wheel. Check that the tyre width does not exceed the maximum 250mm limit.
