Installation instructions for Handlebar adapter:

1. Of the two pairs of handlebar straps/loops (Ø 22-26.8mm or Ø 31.8mm) pick the one that suits your bike handlebar. Clear the handlebar of extra blinky lights, move the bell to one end of the handlebar if you need to do so.
2. Slip the pair of nylon loops onto the handlebar opening outward/wheel side.
3. Slide the adapter into the open, rectangular ends of the loops. Red button with KLICKfix® faces rider.
4. Tighten the 4 cross bolts to hold adapter in place. Don't tighten fully yet. Take care to have the holder fixed in slightly upward position. Leave enough room for brakes and gearshift cables.
5. Feed the security cable from under the front structure of the handlebar into the locking nipples incorporated at the backside of the holder The security cable slips into the thin rectangular notches on the inner side of the handlebar adapter.  Pull both cable ends downwards equally through the locking bushings.
6. Fix cable on one side by tightening the locking bolt. Pull the other end downwards and tighten the bolt. Please take care to have both keybolts firmly tightened.
7. Both cable ends are then to be bent to the middle underneath the holder. Note: The cable may be replaced by brake cable of a similar kind (Ø 2-2.2mm)
8. Push holder downwards until it is stopped by the cable. Then tighten the four black screws in the holding unit. Ensure that the unit is fixed in a slightly upward position.
