The spoke guard seems to make no sense. How do you actually attach it? If anything it seems more of a hazard due to the floppiness and shoelaces.

I did not attach it for that very reason. It's fine without it for me to use. I ride just fine. My 2 yr old loves it.

I used black plastic zip ties (or cable ties) instead of the lacing to secure it and then trimmed the extra tie so it didn't rub or hang loose. Secure and safe for the child rider.

All i can say to your comment is ditto. Putting any kind of shoelaces or anything loose for that matter is purely dangerous. If it unravels (whic. Is more than likely going to happen) both parent and child are going down. I left mine off and am depending solely on the Velcro straps to keep my toddler from having anything to do with the rear wheel.

It actually is pretty secure once you get it on. Simply wrap it around the back of the bike and fasten tightly with the shoelaces.

One of the shoelaces that attaches the spoke guard got caught up in my chain the first time I went for a ride. I still have it attached without the bottom shoelace hole being used, but not sure it's usefulness...

I thought the same thing. We use the carrier without the spike guard because we couldn't figure out how to attatch it in a way that was safe or beneficial.

My husband actually didn't install that because it made no sense to him. But other than that the seat works great and my son hasn't had any issues with his legs touching the tire. Great seat!

Refer to the instructions they sent, if you do not have them, you can Google the make and style and view the directions. Maybe this will help. I have done extensive off road travel and have had no such issues.

I have done different things. First suggestion is make sure your bike rack is as far back away from your seat as possible. The second is put a cardboard box or something in it to poof out the front and pull the sides in. And third is to simply move your foot up on the peddles. I have utilized all three to fix my problem.

I used two small pieces of foam rubber to prop the support bars under the footrest -- I wedged them in to keep the bars from sliding closed. The are easily removed and I just use a rubber band to keep them handy on the footrest when not in use. Primitive, but it works!

I had the same question! I was attemptying to replace only the cable on mine, because that's all that was broken. But I was not able to find just the cable, or more specifically; the part of the cable that hooks into the wheel and spins with the cable to make it work! After years of looking. This one simply hooks between the front wheel fork, and the hub/spokes. Simple and easy. Good luck!

No it isn't.. when it is on it is pretty much on. Zip-ties are used to secure it to the spokes. My hope is no one will take mine when I lock up my bike somewhere. Hasn't been a problem yet.

I wish I had a simple solution for you, but I can't seem to get mine to stay either. But I'm thinking I may go buy a cheap pair of shoes and gorilla glue the damn things to the pedals.

I removed the thread and i later removed the attachment to the pedals because it was difficult to remove my feet and place it on the ground when I brake. The spikes on the pedals can be dangerous to the ankle, but it makes for a better grip when climbing heights with the bicycle. To tread the strap through the buckle, just follow the diagram and place it within the holes and fasten the tread to fit. Good luck

I would take it off and put it back on and see if it sits properly. Also (I dont know your skill level) make sure the washer is on correctly, there are two very distinct sides. You will LOVE the Brake by the way.... that concussion from this thing is a beast, and almost little to no climb

Once you reset the position where the feet rest go its not hard it all but you need to use the the allen wrench proved to do that.once that is done the next time around you just set the bike on and stap it down using the straps provided. We are very pleased with the rack for the money you pay.hope this answers your question.

The weight it puts on the wheel in this position is nowhere near the amount of force that's applied when you sit on it. Remember that spokes are designed to take hanging force, not rigid vertical force from the bottom. So hanging on the spokes like this is exactly what they are designed to do.

I've got a little pouch to hold the sensor which attaches to the laces of my Brooks GTS running shoes. It works ok though it looks funny and the timing accuracy is erratic. I'm thinking of cutting into the sole of my shoe like some of the other respondents have recommended, though I'm a little worried about ruining them.

We used the edge of a dull butter knife to help put it on. Kind of like a shoe horn. Just get as much as you can then use the knife until it slides on.

Hi Shawn. First of all.... do you have the Bushwhacker trunk bag? If so, you are familiar with the Velcro straps on the bottom which attach the bag to the rack. If one chooses to add the Bushwhacker panniers first (there are a few models) then all one needs to do is run the four straps on the bottom of the trunk bag, through four corresponding "guides" located on the top of the panniers. If you Google (images) Bushwhacker Police Pannier, the first couple images that come up show the guides I'm referring to. Hope this helps. SPO

None with mine. I have put these on before. Just place so laces tighten firmly. I also put duct tape rolls underneath to stabilize. Works well.

I don't know. I clipped them all to the rack when we got it. Maybe write the company or try to find some other way to hold them on. Maybe black shoe laces cut and tied in back.

There are no instructions. I was frustrated with it too!! Just try to attach it the best you can. They don't fit perfectly.
