Does the pad prevent the handlebars from spinning?

Troubleshooting

Pad spins on handlebar

Ensure the flat bottom of the pad is making firm contact with the handlebar crossbar. Tighten the Velcro straps securely. Check if the handlebar crossbar is unusually smooth or worn.

Velcro not holding securely

Clean the Velcro surfaces by removing any dirt or debris. If the Velcro is worn out, consider replacing the pad.

Pad doesn't fit snugly

While designed for universal fit, some handlebar setups may require slight adjustment. Ensure the pad is centered and tightened as much as possible. For extreme cases, custom shims might be considered, though typically not necessary.
