Troubleshooting
Zip tie won't tighten properly
Ensure the zip tie is correctly threaded through its locking mechanism. If the plastic feels brittle, it may be old; try a new zip tie from the pack.
Mount feels loose after installation
Use a second zip tie in conjunction with the first for a more secure fit. Ensure you have pulled the zip ties as tight as possible before trimming.
Difficulty cutting excess zip tie
Use sharp cutters or a utility knife. Be cautious not to cut the handlebar or mount itself.
