Hi,

just a quick feedback ... The black screw in the new mount is super soft ... I did wear it out on first install without even fixing it mount completely ... Black is nice - but just use steel screws in the future (especially if you sell the mount for 40 Euros).

 

Ciao

  I agree. Today I took my K2 for a first ride. Everything went fine untill I hit the cobblestones. The mount just started dacing on my steering wheel, even though it was fit firmly. When I wanted to tighten it back at home, the mount broke...

  Please can you send me a new screw? I've had the same problem and after swapping the mount between bikes 3 times, the hex head is rounded. Glad to see it's not just me with this problem!

  I am also having the same issue. Mount tightened onto flat handlebar (31.8 tapered). Mount felt secure but because the roads on LI are in terrible shape the mount loosened and slipped and drooped. Tried to keep in place using thick tape but the pounding from the roads again caused the mount to droop. I've tried tightening the mount to compensate and the hex head rounded and stripped. Am trying to figure out how to get the screw out without damaging the mount but not sure I'm going to be able to get the screw out.

  I agree.  I installed the mount last night for the very first time and rounded the hex on the first use.  The screws are way too soft.

  Yes, I agree. Yesterday I lost one of my screws on the cobblestones. It might also be an idea to include some extra screws with the mount.
