I can't get my clamp to tighten enough to hold my bike...

Tighten the tension screw ( plastic knob ) a few turns at a time and then clamp it down. If its still loose, unclamp and turn the knob a few more times until you achieve your desired tension.

There is a definite limit to the amount that the clamping mechanism can squeeze, and you may have to add some thickness to the clamp by placing a chunk of silicone padding or rubber sheet in the gap to get the squeeze tight enough. Don't ever clamp your bike like the photo shows - clamp only on the seat post, not on the cross bar.

I had the same problem with mine, I actually ended up drilling a few holes all the way through and using a pin to keep it from sliding. Hope it helps

It doesn't look like your bike has the eyelets on top of the front forks to screw the legs to. I went to Home Depot to purchase some metal clamps with rubber on them (electrical department) to attach the legs to the front fork. It worked fine. I carry a 9 lb dog in the basket and the clamps didn't slip. You can go to www.waldsports.com and contact them.

turn the clamp lever clockwise 1 turn and try it. if that isn't enough try another turn.

Yes, you can loosen it. I had the opposite issue. Clamp was too loose and wouldn't hold. So, in had to tighten it more.

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.

Hello, you may clamp it anywhere it will hold. But mainly to the Bike Frame. Thank you

I have a wierd bike and I had to make adjustments for my bike. Try a bike store, they may be able to help.

raymond, hope this helps U. Take the cover off at the 2 nuts where the bar fits, Re-track the bar back. now thread the chain around the sprocket and the slot on the bar, make sure the chain points in the right direction, now adjust the bar forward until reaching the proper tension . let me know that this is successful for U

If your handle bars come out like a bike you might make it work you might have to get different straps to hold it on to . It is a nice basket ans sometimes you can get anything to work . You can always send it back .

The description doesn't specify the clamp size. It is 22.2mm. I bought one unfortunately, but my bike is 23.8mm.

I just had my husband tighten it and that solved the problem. However, had that not worked, I was planning on putting a piece of gripper pad (the kind you can get at the dollar store for opening jars) around the bar under the clamp.

Sorry to hear about your theft - seems like nothing is sacred anymore. The clamp for post tightens up to hold it on to frame & also adjusts onto seat. My post is approximately 1" wide. A bike shop can help you. Good luck. Carol

sorry, i couldn't make it work either. i took it to a professional at a bike shop. he fixed it in about 2 minutes and charged me $50.

Yes, though my bike is carbon fiber and I simply don't maximize the squeeze clamp as though I were working on it. Just enough to hold it.

Loosen the nut and screw where the seat post and the frame meet...you can move it up and down...and then retighten.

You could try checking the tension using the instructions in the manual. If it's too loose it will come off.

I found my seat had a wide range of adaptability...I used it on 2 different bikes so far and I only had to open the clamp a little wider on the second bike. Make it fit! it is an awesome seat!
