FAQs

What types of bikes can the Fiamma Bike Block Pro S4 hold?

The adjustable joint and rotating clamp allow it to accommodate a wide range of bike types, including road bikes, mountain bikes, and hybrid bikes, provided the frame tube is suitable for clamping.

Is this product compatible with non-Fiamma bike racks?

While designed for Fiamma Carry-Bike racks, its universal clamping mechanism may work with other racks, but compatibility is not guaranteed. It is best used with Fiamma systems.

How do I clean the Bike Block Pro S4?

You can clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Can I use this with an electric bike?

It depends on the frame diameter and shape of the electric bike. The clamp is designed for standard frame tubes. Check the maximum clamp opening and frame compatibility before use.

What is the weight of the Bike Block Pro S4?

The product weighs approximately 0.5 Kg.

Does it come with an anti-theft cable?

No, the anti-theft cable is not included. The product features a buttonhole to allow for the attachment of a separate anti-theft cable for added security.

What are the main differences between the 'Pro S' and the classic 'Bike-Block Pro'?

The 'Pro S' version, like the S4, features a redesigned knob placement at the front and an improved anti-scratch rubber support, allowing the clamp to rotate 360 degrees more freely.

Troubleshooting

Clamp does not secure the bike frame firmly.

Ensure the adjustable joint is correctly positioned for the frame diameter. Tighten the front knob firmly. Check that the anti-scratch rubber insert is clean and making full contact.

Difficulty rotating the clamp.

Verify that no bike components or cables are obstructing the rotation. Ensure the knob is not overtightened. If stiffness persists, a small amount of silicone lubricant may help.

Bike seems unstable during transport.

Re-check the tightness of the Bike Block Pro S4 and ensure all other straps or securing mechanisms on the bike carrier are also properly fastened. Confirm the bike is correctly centered on the rack.

Anti-scratch rubber insert is damaged.

Contact the manufacturer or retailer for a replacement rubber insert. Continued use with a damaged insert could scratch your bike frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Position your bike on the carrier rack.
  2. Place the Bike Block Pro S4 onto the bike's frame tube where you intend to secure it.
  3. Adjust the clamp using the front knob until it securely grips the frame. Ensure the anti-scratch rubber insert is making contact.

Compatibility:
