Does anyone have any instructions? I am putting this on my diamondback overdrive, but am unsure what the 45 degree down angle means. Thanks

There are 2 parts to this connector. One part mounts on your rear wheel axle & stays there. This is angled on a 45 degree angle to the rear so your trailer mount can easily slip on. The trailer half bolts to your trailer arm.

Orange " foot" mounts to axle is 45 degree. See photo above. Works fine as a replacement hitch on my burly trailer

you make the 45 degree angle from the ground up. After I put mine on my bike and I adjusted the part the cart was level. What you can do is put a levek on the cart and when the bubble is in the middle tighten the nut and your done I hope this helped answer your question

On my bike it made a difference. The stem was long with no upward angle. This stem is shorter with an upward angle. It seems like over all my forward lean was reduced by 5 or 6 degrees which in my case relieved the pain between my shoulders and neck. I've been very happy with this mod to my bike. If it will work the as well for you I don't know.

The standard 90 degree works great! I have thatt exact set up on my '98 TJ. Pick a warm place to put it on. A heat gun on low is a big help. It's an awesome top! The picture doesn't do it justice! Good luck!

Hey Marie, I've only put together a few of these gear boxes so I'm no expert but here are some images of the gearbox that comes with this kit. Mine is not on the tank track since it's a single axle. Anyway, here's some pictures: http://imgur.com/PcL5eeJ,TA1Jr3n,zm5frH3,e14iPCq,bq6Q6mo,WzBJRXl#5 If you look at the first picture in the set you will see a small gear with a tab sticking off of it. You may have to break that tab off. I cut it off of mine to make it work. I also included pictures of my gears. I originally put it together backwards but it's all correct now. It may be a good reference for yours. The instructions are not very clear with these. Without more info from you I don't know how much help I can be. Hopefully this will help.

The Chuck is mounted on a taper. You need to break the taper using something like a ball joint fork. Not many people would have one of these, so opposing wooden wedges would do the trick. Just remember when the taper lets go, you should have a small bucket to catch the chuck, or it could be damaged in the ensuing flight. Clean both the drive taper, and chuck, dirt and rust are your enemy. Apply light coat of oil, replace chuck on shaft, and tap upward using a wood block between chuck and hammer so as not to damage chuck. Check for run out using a piece of round stock in chuck, and you should be done.

Probably due to the fact the12 is a driver head and the14 is already competing with the new mini SLDR fairway club. It's being advertised "Say goodbye to your 3 wood" But you may want to contact Taylor Made direct for clarification.

you loosen a nut/bolt, set desired angle, then tighten back down. Love mine

One side of the axle (drive) will seem longer because the freewheel is not installed. If you consider the thickness of the freewheel, the thick washer flange nuts are where they should be right out of the box. (loose at the ends of the axle) The non drive side is short, lock nut in position and thick washer flange nut at the end of the axle ready to tighten on the dropout. The drive side will have a spacer behind the lock nut; pushing it out making a shoulder for the inside diameter of the freewheel to preventing it from making contact with the dropout. There should be a thick washer flange nut on both ends of the axle. Once you thread the freewheel on the drive side, everything should be centered for your frame. Hope this helps and that you can ride soon! For the price, these really are great daily rider rims. Good luck!

i'm not sure what to tell you....or how u attached your rear rack, because mine is almost vertical when i attached it to my bike just exactly like the picture....maybe u should ask for an exchange. 20-30 degrees of tilting (either up or down wards) i believe is not right. good luck.

Back Jacks all have only one angle--about 10 degrees leaning back. That being said, you can adjust the way you sit and/or use our cushion or any cushion. We know there are some knock-offs going around and we even checked one out a few years ago. The "adjustable angle" mechanism we saw definitely appeared to be susceptible to rust and/or other mechanical problems--so we stayed away from it. Regards, BodyMindWisdom

I agree with Space Godzilla... I've mounted this both ways (two different cars needing opposite orientation). There's a slotted knob which you can loosen/tighten on the back of the pivot. When loose, you can rotate the holder 360 deg, and adjust the angle up/down/left/right. Get it in the right position then tighten (you'll have to remove the whole device from the CD slot to get access).

Hey Will, just wondering if you bought this bike and successfully put 32's on the bike? I just saw my friends tires and 23's are way too skinny! Not to mention I'd bet you'd feel EVERY piece of dirt. I'd like to know before I commit.

this should do the trick: SHIFTER MOUNT OR8 DOWNTUBE ADPTR 31.8/28.6 BKand there is a number of more classically styled one, just search for "downtube shifter clamp on bosses"

Will try that tonight ('rear left +' and 'right rear-') and let you know how it works. Thanks again!

if you look at the specs carefully you will see that it has a 30 degree angle of transmission. You may want to look at a 60 degree angle.

I cut the ends at a 45 degree angle and they virtually disappear. I also find that if you are bending this in a arc (such as a wheel well edge) it will work better if you bend it in a shape similar to what you want and then let it sit that way overnight - if you don't give it a chance to rest and try to force it to bend the way you want it, it will eventually lose grip and you will have to replace it (a problem I'm now having)

Bending into a 90 degree angle is not the appropriate fix. Another comment by Nick Thomas is more correct. There should be an alternative mounting plate that came with the mount. You simply re-configure the base of the 18" flex gooseneck so that it has the vertical compatible bracket on it. If you're missing this item, email feedback@arkon.com and they'll help you out.
