Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward and requires only a standard 4mm hex key to secure the cage to your bike's bottle cage bosses. Ensure the bolts are tightened firmly, but avoid overtightening to prevent stripping the frame threads. The cage is compatible with all standard frame mounting points. To keep the cage in top condition, wipe it down with a damp cloth after rides to remove mud or road grit, especially if you ride in wet or salty conditions, as this helps preserve the powder coat finish.
