What should I do if the chainstay mount doesn't fit my frame?

Ensure you are attempting to attach the mount to the correct part of the chainstay. If fit issues persist, consult the main Skarper user manual or contact customer support.

Troubleshooting

Skarper Drive Unit not attaching securely

Verify that the chainstay mount is correctly positioned and tightened. Ensure the Centerlock adapter is properly seated and secured.

Rotor appears misaligned or rubs against brakes

Double-check the installation of the DiskDrive Brake Rotor to confirm it is centered and securely fastened according to specifications. Ensure rim brake pads are correctly adjusted.
