FAQs

Is this a universal replacement for all Fiamma parts?

No, it is specifically designed for the Fiamma Bike Block Pro series tightening mechanisms.

Does this kit come with the metal screw rod?

No, this item is the red star nut only.

How can I tell if my Bike Block needs a new wheel?

If the nut slips while tightening, has visible cracks in the plastic, or the internal threads are stripped, it should be replaced.

Are tools required for installation?

No tools are required; the design is intended for hand-tightening.

Can I use this on a Bike Block Pro Premium?

Yes, it is fully compatible with the Pro Premium series.

Troubleshooting

The new wheel feels stiff while screwing it on

Ensure the threads on the metal arm are clean and free of grit. Back it off and re-thread slowly to avoid cross-threading.

The nut does not seem to tighten onto my rack

Verify that your bike rack model is a genuine Fiamma Pro series. This part is not intended for non-Fiamma rack systems.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Genuine OEM part ensures perfect fitment
  • Easy to install without professional help
  • Restores security to bike transport
  • Compatible with a wide range of Fiamma racks

Cons

  • Not compatible with non-Fiamma bike racks
  • Does not include the full bike arm assembly
  • Requires careful identification of the specific model version

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is a straightforward process. To set up, first ensure your bike rack is clear of any bicycles. Unscrew the existing damaged star nut completely from the bike block arm. Once removed, check the threads on the arm for any debris or stripped metal. Thread the new 98656-290 wheel onto the arm and tighten until the clamp is secure.

This unit is compatible with the following series:

  • Bike Block Pro 1, 2, 3, 4
  • Bike Block Pro D1, D2
  • Pro, Pro C, and Pro Premium models
  • Various Caravan-specific configurations

To prolong the life of your new wheel, clean it periodically with mild soap and water to remove road salt and grit. Avoid using heavy-duty power tools to tighten the nut, as this can lead to premature stripping of the internal threads.
