 |
|
Have installed the bike mount OK and this does not move about. However, as soon as I attach the Satmap, it rocks about quite a lot and is infuriating when riding along. I am just wondering whether this is down to a bad fit of the Clickfix system.
Dont really want to resort to elastic bands / cable ties so just seeing if anyone else has had this problem |

What are you attatching it to? Mine has been attached to my ITM stem for 5655 miles as of this evening and hasn't budged a millimetre

It is attached to the handlebars and it is very stable i.e. the actual bike mount when tightened with the allen key is very secure. When you click the Satmap into the mount, there is a lot of movement. To me, it looks as if the rectanguar connection is slightly ill fitting when it should lock in to the Clickfix system much better.
I will get in touch with Satmap during the week to see if they can maybe send me a replacement cover |

| Just for information: I got in touch with Satmap and they sent me a replacement bike compatible back cover which sorted out the issue |

| I've been impressed by the solidity of the bike mount, so my guess is anyone else having problems may well have a faulty back cover or mount bracket. |

I just put a strip of adhesive tape along the bottom of the female part of the mount and the movement is sorted. Just as I've always done with my old Cateye lights.
