I cannot get the carabiner to fit through the links to attach the bar. The links are way to small. How on earth did everyone get the bar attached?

I had the same problem, you basically have to pry the link apart with two pairs of pliers or vise grips or a vise and then put the bar in and squeeze it back together.

There is an arrow on top of the bar. Make sure it is facing forward. Somewhere I read if you put them on backwards, that would happen.

Yes you do. And the wheels are ill fitting to the bar. Everything is reliant on these incredibly flimsy metal clips. Ours fell apart on Day 2 of the vacation. Avoid if possible.

I bought this thing and could not get it to work on my ladies schwinn cruiser bike. It seems to need the cross bar (which I thought were only on mens bikes). Am I missing somthing because I am thinking of sending it back.

Hi, Sorry for the delayed reply...What i can remember, The only thing you have to do is secure the top of the bar down. Hope that help.Thank you

Push the button in (on right handle) then pull the bar/bale towards you...when all the way...release the button - should start ...except mine didn't...Congratulations if it does. If not call 1-888-909-6757 & have model # handy...ask for manual too!

I had to unscrew one of the screws on the U-shaped things on the bottom to be able to get them around the front bar, then screw them back in. Took me a few minutes to figure that one out, too...

I order the bars and is the time that I haven't installed, due to I have no information on a seller. I do not have the kit. Seller send me the bars with no instructions or nothing. How ever to answer your question I believe so. Good luck

hm... I don't have that problem. It seems like you have a bigger handle bar? I'd bring a screw to a local hardware store and look for a same size but longer ones. Good luck.

You could just not connect the mounting bar & bracket, kinda defeats the purpose though. I believe there's another model, ~$50 cheaper, that doesn't include the bar at all.

Based on the picture I got back from Google (https://www.google.com/search?q=jeff+jones+h+bars&biw=1899&bih=1072&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=uPwFVauTPIeeggTW1IL4Cg&ved=0CC4QsAQ#imgdii=_&imgrc=OejP9M8yaFxQcM%253A%3BGDmCHk00WLqOqM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.gravelbike.com%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2014%252F04%252FJones-Loop-H-Bar-cockpit.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.gravelbike.com%252F%253Fp%253D3003%3B2292%3B739) it looks like it should work. You just need about 4 - 5 inches of straight handlebar out front in order for it to attach. On my dropbar handlebar the mount just attaches on either side of the stem - and then it just hangs right off the front. Hope that helps, Tim

Hi Helena, I guess theres no trick...too much of muscle power.. I had this problem, i somehow forced it into the base and it is stuck forever now i guess the two side bars went inside the middle one is out...but its locked

So long as your new bars are not radically thick or thin there shouldnt be problem. Might be a good idea to get new cables and cable sheaths too, and make sure you know what your doing... some beginner bike modders get this part muddled and then inevitably end up at their bike shop trying to get help.

Yes, it is possible to change out the carabiner to something else. I would recommend doing that because the ones on there are very cheap and break.

Nope. I hope you have better luck than I did. I did order an extra bar and chain as they were pretty cheap. I sent it all back and it was accepted. Never used the new bar or chain.

I used fairly large carabiners without a problem. The ones I used are much larger than necessary to support the weight of someone swinging.
