The clamps don[t look very beefy. Any problems with leaking? barbs are 2 inches LONG not in diameter - correct?

The clamps leak. I replaced them with hose clamps and the thin rubber tore. This bulb lasted me a total of one squeeze. I tried to go cheap and got burned. The $21 primer bulb I subsequently purchased off Amazon works like a champ.

I use 3/8" tubing with it. You just have to have the appropriate barbs. It uses standard g1/4 fittings so pretty much any brand barb will do.

The sleeve clamp that holds the tubing to the keg coupler is crimped to tight. Need to cut it off and redo it with a regular tubing clamp.

Keep in mind that these are made for MTB handlebars, which are 22.2mm in diameter at the grip. Most road bars are 23.8mm in diameter; some are even bigger. Sheldon Brown has a good list of handlebar sizes. In order to fit these on road bars, you'd probably need ream out the clamps by .8mm (or close to it). I'm not sure whether that would affect their structural integrity. The only bar-ends I know of that are sized for road bars are the Dia Compe knob grips, model DC138 -- if you can find them. If you've got a better solution, let me know -- I'd like to do something similar.

They are not clamps at all, but actually spring loaded levers that you pull away from the basket to install on rack. I've had this mounte on 2 various racks and it appears to have at least 2/12 " width distance fully extended on each side. Just make sure the rubber clamps line up on rack; or it will move around a little with heavy load. It's very sturdy and springs have a lot of tension, so once it's on your bike it's there to stay until you release it to carry in the store. Nice quick release rack basket.

2 inch diameter, I got the KC tube clamps in their 2 inch size and it fits perfectly.

Not at all ...my clamps were junk ..probably oil in it from manufacturing ..should go away ..

That is what I'm using them on and no problems that I've noticed. Also what keegansmommy said more than 15" deep I think would be a squeeze.

Mine are bigger and I got them to fit by turning them around just the clamps and it works well , I feel yours will work.

I just measured a lever that I had loose. I tightened the screw all the way down to stop. The smallest the clamp will pull down is about .850-.860" which is about 21.84mm. On the wide side you can stretch it open to about .890" which is about 22.6mm. At those extreme dimensions the hole is no longer round. It was kinda sketchy going that tight, you might induce unwanted stress into the aluminum clamp that could fracture later when in use. It might work ok on an alloy bar within those dimensions but might pinch and crack carbon.

Lanae,My bars are 2-3/4" wide. You should have no problem with the Thule mounts

I measured with a ruler, and the clamp will open up to a full inch. It might stretch a little further if necessary. But, I think you should be in very good shape with 1/2 inch.

Yes,clamps will work but welding is always better to insure proper seal and less maintenance

I have a standard size barrel so im not hundred percent .but the clamps have alot of adjustment to them.at the base of a standard barrel where it meets the front sling swivel the barrel widens quiet a bit and the clamp was able to go around that section with the rear screw having a few threads left to hold on.

Hello, yes you may. Also check how tight the clamps are, maybe they are to tight or just needs a little grease/WD40. Thank you

These bars are25.4mm diameter from the clamp area all the way to the end of the bar, they DO NOT taper to 22.2mm so no those won't fit if they are designed to fit a 22mm bar. Measure the diameter of the levers and make sure they clamp/plug in to a 25.4mm bar, if they don't, then don't buy these buy a standard set of bars with a 22mm taper

You'll need couplers and a welder, 60mm is 2.36 inches so they wouldn't match up for use with clamps.
