Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Locate Bottle Bosses: Identify the two threaded mounting points (bottle bosses) on your bike frame.
- Position the Portaledge: Align the Portaledge with the bottle bosses.
- Attach the Plate: Secure the AL6061 alloy plate of the Portaledge to the bottle bosses using appropriate screws (not included).
- Secure Your Gear: Place the desired items inside the strap.
- Fasten the Strap: Wrap the silicone-coated hook and loop strap around the gear, ensuring it's snug and secure.
Compatibility
The Granite Portaledge is compatible with most bikes that have standard bottle cage bosses. Ensure the bosses are in good condition and can support the weight of the gear. It works best with items like tubes, CO2 cartridges, and tire levers.
Care
- Cleaning: Wipe down the Portaledge with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically check the strap and plate for wear and tear. Replace if needed.
- Storage: When not in use, store the Portaledge in a dry place.
