The way the straps are laid out I can't tell if this mount to the top tube or the handle bars? Top tube I hope.

Hi. It attatches to the top center tube and the neck or stem of the handle bars. Great product. We bought three for the whole family.

I'm having the same problem and am beginning to feel kinda stupid. How far through did the holes go? I mean there is one hole in the handlebars, and then two through the post, but it seems like there should be another hole on the other side of the handlebars that should "recieve" the screw. Am I right?

My bike doesn't have those kind of handlebars, but it has many cables that run along the handlebars. The mount for the bag is about 2" wide and 1/2" deep so it holds the bag away from the handlebars about 1/2" which allows plenty of room for the cables to run in between the bag and the handlebars. I would expect the bag to work fine with your cables & handlebars. I love mine, and works well.

It is based on the cable route, up and over or underneath. The bike ferrule stay location dictates the configuration, I had some issues at getting the leverage needed, but after playing with it, got it to shift somewhat accurately.

The handlebars are swept back a little. The handle ends are not in line with the center mounting point.

For my bike (the rear brake cable also runs along the bottom of the top rail) the straps actually go between the cable and the rail so it doesn't interfere. There are two straps on the bottom, they both can go under the cable. There is also a third strap that straps to the neck of your handlebars so the bag doesn't slide down the rail towards your seat.

If you mount it at the farthest limit mark your handlebars center will be mounted approx. 10" above the top of your neck tube. My stock stem was only 3" at it's highest point! This is so much more comfortable for a taller rider!

I do but i clamp the top tube instead of the seat post. (Instructions say to clamp to tube on every bike) all the other bikes i use the seat tube.

We put the biggest bike on first to attach to the one vertical support on the left side with ratcheting straps & then strap the second bike to the first. We also tape foam pipe insulation to handlebars to protect camper from getting scraped. Serves the purpose, but wish they had a better design.

It mounts to the stem of the handlebars, not the frame. So it will also turn when you turn the handlebars. I believe you need at least 1" of stem exposed on the handlebar.

I have it installed on a relatively lightweight vintage road bike. It works, but as a safety precaution, I always make sure I am straddling the bike and standing over the top tube first, with my hands on the handlebar, before my son gets on. Similarly, I always make sure he dismounts from the bike first before I dismount.

I'm not certain as I sent the bike back. The handle bar was so low that it actually hurt my back and shoulders.

I have no idea what kind of bike you have but the way the hardware is designed, it's very flexible in it's placement possibilities.

All depends on your confidence level. I found the mounted tended to slip, so I use part of an old tire tube and wrap it around the bar first and then use the zip straps. I use a pliers to pull it as tight as I can and scissors to snip off the ends and then usually use a second on the top and some times the bottom. I have 5 of these on 3 road bikes and 2 mountain bikes and have never had an issue just be sure the GPS is securely snapped in. You can buy a bag of 100 of these zip ties.

I had no room on my handlebar. So I mounted it sideway on my forward tube with cable zipties

I put my bike on the other way around. I put the bike with the front to the left on the inner mount. The down bracket secures around the angled lower part of the frame.
