Before installation, measure the center distance of the two mounting points on your bicycle's saddle bow. The mount requires a center distance of 53-58 mm per a un ajust correcte.
2. Assembling the Mount Components
The mount consists of three main parts: the saddle bow clip, the connector, and the radar taillight holder. Use the provided screws and hex wrench to assemble them.
Figure 2: Individual components of the mount: saddle bow clip, connector, and radar taillight holder.
The saddle bow clip is made of high-quality A380 aluminum alloy for durability. The connector part features gears that allow for stable and adjustable angle positioning of the radar taillight.
3. Attaching the Mount to the Saddle Bow
Position the assembled saddle bow clip onto the rails of your bicycle saddle. Ensure it is centered and aligned correctly. Tighten the screws firmly using the hex wrench to secure the mount to the saddle. This design provides a firm hold, preventing loss of the radar due to unstable fixing.
