3. Installation Guide

Follow these steps to correctly install the ROCKBROS Basic Bike Computer Mount on your bicycle.

3.1 Handlebar Stem Compatibility

Ensure your bike's handlebar stem has a distance of up to 4 centimeters between the mounting screws for proper fitment. Measure your stem distance before proceeding.

3.2 Mounting the Bracket

1. Unscrew Riser Screws: Carefully unscrew the two riser screws on your bike's handlebar stem using the appropriate hex wrench. Keep these screws and any existing washers safe.
2. Position the Mount: Align the ROCKBROS mount with the screw holes on your handlebar stem. If necessary, place the provided shims between the handlebar and the backside of the bracket to ensure a snug fit and prevent slipping.
3. Insert and Tighten Screws: Insert the provided MS Hexagon Socket Head Cap Screws (or your original riser screws if compatible) through the mount and into the stem. Hand-tighten them initially.
4. Final Tightening: Using the appropriate hex wrench, gradually tighten both screws evenly until the mount is secure and does not rotate. Do not overtighten.

3.3 Attaching Devices

1. Bike Computer: Select the appropriate base for your Garmin, Bryton, or Wahoo computer. Attach it to the top of the mount using the small screws. Then, twist your bike computer onto the base until it locks securely.
2. Action Camera/Bike Light: Use the action camera/bike light adapter. Attach it to the underside of the mount using the provided screw. Then, secure your action camera (e.g., Go Pro) or compatible bike light to the adapter.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will prolong the life and ensure the safety of your bike computer mount.

• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws for tightness. Ensure the mount is still securely fastened to the handlebar stem. Inspect the plastic computer bases for any signs of wear or cracking, especially after impacts.
• Storage: If removing the mount for extended periods, store it in a clean, dry place.

6. Troubleshooting

• Mount is slipping or rotating:

  Ensure the handlebar stem screws are tightened sufficiently. If slipping persists, verify that the shims were correctly installed between the handlebar and the bracket. The shims are crucial for a secure fit on some handlebar designs.

• Device not fitting correctly:

  Confirm you are using the correct adapter base for your specific bike computer model (Garmin, Bryton, Wahoo). Note that the Wahoo base cannot be used simultaneously with a Go Pro mount due to potential interference or design limitations.
• Mount appears damaged:

  If the mount or any of its components show signs of damage (e.g., cracks in the plastic bases, bent aluminum), discontinue use immediately and replace the affected parts or the entire mount to prevent potential loss of your devices during a ride.
