WARNING: Cycling can be dangerous. Bicycle products should be installed and serviced by a professional mechanic.
Never modify your bicycle or accessories. Read and follow all product instructions and warnings including information
on the manufacturer's website. Inspect your bicycle before every ride. Always wear a helmet.
WARNING: Entanglement of an object in your wheel could stop the rotation of the wheel causing a loss of control or crash
that could lead to serious injury. Always secure all cargo, luggage, and any mounting straps according to these instructions.
Make sure that gear straps and cargo do not interfere with the rotation of your wheels BEFORE attempting to ride and
periodically check for proper and safe clearance during every ride.
WARNING:
• The bicycle may behave differently (particularly regarding steering and braking) when loaded with cargo.
• Make sure your load is evenly balanced and secure before and during every ride (i.e. no loose straps or shifting cargo
to get caught in the wheels).
• After securing cargo, confirm that lights and reflectors are not obstructed by cargo or straps.
• Avoid running over objects in the road or trail including sticks or debris.

Compatibility

The Whip Lash Gear Strap is designed to secure around smooth tubing such as bicycle frames or seatposts.
Check with your bicycle's manufacturer to verify proper fit, mounting points, bicycle cargo load capacity, and compatibility
for carrying cargo. Do not exceed the bicycle manufacturer's permissible load.

Installation

1. Position the rubber-coated side of the Whip Lash in contact with the tubing. (Fig. 1)
2. Wrap the strap around the object that is being secured and feed the free end of the Whip Lash through the loop
(Fig. 2). Tighten the strap until the loose object is securely fixed to the tubing (Fig. 3).
3. Connect the remaining hook and loop material, securing any slack that might remain (Fig. 4).
