Troubleshooting

The vacuum mount isn't sticking.

Ensure the mounting surface and the vacuum pad are clean and dry. Repump the plunger until the orange indicator band is no longer visible.

The strap doesn't seem secure.

Double-check that the strap is correctly wrapped around the wheel and that the buckle is firmly fastened. Verify the vacuum mount is properly attached.

The vacuum loses its seal.

Repump the vacuum. If it continues to lose its seal, inspect the vacuum pad for damage. Clean the pad and mounting surface.

Pros

  • Compact size allows for use in tight spaces.
  • Strong vacuum grip provides a secure hold.
  • Suitable for various bike wheel sizes, including fat bike wheels.
  • Easy to install and remove.
  • Visual indicator for vacuum maintenance.

Cons

  • Requires a clean, non-porous surface for attachment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Clean both the mounting surface on your vehicle and the 11 cm vacuum pad of the Compact Rear Wheel Strap. A damp paper towel works well.
  2. Attachment: Place the vacuum pad on the clean surface and pump the plunger until the orange indicator band is no longer visible.
  3. Strapping the Wheel: Wrap the strap around the rear wheel and secure it.

Compatibility: This strap is compatible with most vehicles that have a suitable, clean, and non-porous surface for the vacuum mount. It's designed to work with various wheel sizes, including fat bike wheels, due to its adjustable strap length.

Care: Regularly check the vacuum seal's integrity. Clean the vacuum pad as needed. Store the strap in a clean, dry place when not in use. Avoid exposing the vacuum mounts to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for extended periods. When the orange indicator band extends, repump the vacuum.
