Had difficulty with getting the thread of the bolt to connect. I started to strip the threaded upperhook. I immediately stopped and took it to my bike shop mechanic. We discovered the tip of the screw was poorly threaded (but just barely). He replaced the screw and re-tapped the upperhook threads. There were also a few rough metal burs hanging loose from the upperhook from the factory.<br /><br />So here is a suggestion: Make the upperhook thread portion better able to received a thread screw. Refine the screw tip a bit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-90261130684126501352014-10-15T00:23:10.882-04:002014-10-15T00:23:10.882-04:00anonymous,

After several frustrating attempts to assemble it on the bike, I almost tossed it back in the box for return. It is virtually impossible to assemble on the bike where most folks would install it.
