Re: Tricky bar mount situation

OK, here's some glamor shots. The double-sided foam tape under the lower half of the clamp is the same stuff that ships with the iBike, just in skinny roll form. (Thanks to Ace hardware.) Since my last post I torqued down the screws a bit more and added another blob of blue Loctite to each. It reall...

Re: Tricky bar mount situation

The first question here is - Did you use the double-sided sticky tape on the handlebar mount? Do that, plus honking down on the screws, and you should be good to go. Yep--though the tape holding the top half in place is the "banjo" chunky foam tape, used for fit issues described near the ...

Re: Tricky bar mount situation

Brian, You did not have a profile attached to this ride file. Normally you would need to have a profile to view the attached picture, but I did a little developer magic so you can look at it. Yep true. To date, I just wanted to look at raw tilt and elevation numbers for my few inaugural rides. Once...

Can do. On the profile I see the "private message" feature but no email address. I might be glossing right over it. Is it right there hiding in plain sight?

Thanks

Re: Tricky bar mount situation

Meant to post an update a few days ago. Anyways, a few days late: Sunday I went out and did about 55 miles on the valley floor, tilt display on-screen the whole time. For about 2/3 of the ride the reported tilt and watts jibed with my seat-of-the-pants inclineometer/ergometer. Most of the ride was o...

Re: Tricky bar mount situation

OK, the mount seems more solid after using the round bit of that banjo foam adapter to help clear the lip of the stemp clamp. And my local Ace store had some longer SS machine screws to secure the mount's clamp around the now "super oversize" handlebar. When I push moderately on the clamp,...

Re: Tricky bar mount situation

If you can move the mount, then we've got a problem. Send me some photos off-list and I'll take a look. Another thought is maybe a sliver of pvc pipe. Man, sometimes you just want a plain old handlebar. Heh, that's what I was thinking when I installed the mount. I really like the flat flats on that...

Re: Tricky bar mount situation

Brian - what I think we saw done successfully was that some people used either handlebar tape or rim tape to kind of 'round out' the area that was usable. However, as long as you're using the double-sided sticky tape, I think that's what's going to keep you from getting tilt drift from that compone...

Tricky bar mount situation

My current oversize, wired cadence bar mount is probably not seated as rock solidly on the bar as it could be. Wondering if anybody has overcome the same situation, and how they did it. The round oversize section of my handlebars--Ritchey Comp Streem if memory serves--are round for only a short run,...

Quick thanks for speedy warranty turnaround

Prior to installing a wireless mount with cadence, I noticed a bit of unshielded wiring right at the point it entered the wheel sensor housing. Velocomp shipped me a new mount immediately, no questions asked, no return required. I appreciate that quite a bit, particularly since it gave me the chance...
