Hello everyone
I had a few problems with old design and was pleased to replace for the new. But…
Just tried putting bikes on and bike clamp 2 is faulty. The locking wheel locks/unlocks fine but when unlocked (ie to be able to tighten / loosen the clamp) it will not budge an inch. It is stuck ‘open’ with clamp at widest setting. I don’t know what’s jamming it or if it’s rusted over - but any tips on releasing it please?!
(For the prices and known faults these racks are a disappointment).
I really want to avoid the £69 (!) to replace the single clamp. There must be a way of budging it. WD40 is trickling through so I can’t think it’s rusted closed but any more force feels like it’ll break before it turns. It feels like there’s a simple fault causing it to have jammed, or come off the thread or something else I feel I should be able to resolve but alas no!
Any tips really appreciated. I won’t be anything like as practically minded as 99.9% of you here.
Thanks
Adam
