Use the following Hardware:
- 01 Front Strap (01 main + 02 secondary).
- 02 Stainless Steel Bolts.
- 02 Stainless Steel Lock Nuts.
- 04 Stainless Steel Fender Washers.
- 04 Nylon Washers.
- 04 Zip ties.
Installation Instructions:
1. Attach the secondary strap: Take one of the small straps and wrap it around the bike's fork, just below the triple clamp. Make sure the tips of the strap are facing forward.
2. Position the main strap: Place the main strap between the two ends of the secondary strap.
3. Prepare the bolt: Slide a stainless steel washer and then a black nylon washer onto one of the bolts.
4. Insert the bolt: Push the bolt through all three aligned holes from the inside of the mount, so the rounded head of the bolt is on the inside.
5. Add the final washers: On the other side of the bolt, add another black nylon washer followed by a stainless steel washer.
6. Hand-tighten the nut: Screw the stainless steel nut onto the bolt. Don't tighten it completely; just leave it loose enough so you can still move the main strap to adjust its angle later. This also leaves room to add at the back the zip ties for the secondary straps.
7. Attach the first zip tie: Loop a zip tie around the fork just above the triple clamp as shown on the picture.
8. Attach the second zip tie: Take a second zip tie and thread it from the back, under the secondary strap, and connect it to the first zip tie you just installed.
9. Finalize the installation: Adjust the position of the zip ties to secure the secondary strap and keep it always in place, then tighten the bolts and nuts firmly to lock the main strap in your desired angle/position.
10. Do the other side: Repeat the entire process for the other side of the bike.
Important Notes:
1. The front strap's intended and secure installation point is under the triple clamp as it ensures the strap is at the optimal angle for pulling, enhancing pulling leverage.
2. Prioritize the Brake Cable Side: Begin with the brake cable side first. Completing this side initially creates more working room, making the subsequent side easier to manage.
3. Utilize Lower Strap Positioning for Easier Assembly: To facilitate a smoother installation, start by positioning the strap lower on the fork since it narrows as you go down. Assemble all components loosely, just threading the bolts and nuts. Once assembled, slide the strap upward into its final desired position and then securely tighten the zip ties and all fasteners.
Additional tips:
1. To prevent contact during full suspension compression on very soft setups, adjust the mount's angle. Slightly rotate the assembly outward, specifically moving the bolted ends of the secondary straps away from the upper portion of the plastic fork guards.
2. If you're using aftermarket fork guards — including plastic or carbon guards for the upper forks or full wraps for the lower section — some brands may need to be trimmed or modified for a proper fit.
