Pivot Screws
The MadStad mount has a pivot screw on each set of brackets, located near the middle of brackets. A nylon lock nut keeps the
screw in place, yet allows the brackets to slide back and forth. It is adjusted at the factory to have a minimum of play yet still
allow the brackets to move.
The upper pivot hole gives maximum rearward tilt, and the lower pivot hole moves the tilt range 5 degrees more forward. If for
some reason you wish to adjust the tightness of this pivot screw or move it to an alternate pivot position, use a 4mm Allen
wrench along with a 10mm socket or open-end wrench to make the adjustment. If you tighten the lock nut completely you will
not be able to slide the brackets.
Adjustment Knobs
To adjust the windshield for height and/or angle you must loosen the knobs about 1-2 turns to loosen the brackets allowing
them to slide back and forth. Gently push or pull on the shield to position it where you want it. Once you have the brackets
adjusted, you do not need to tighten the knobs down hard, just snug enough to prevent them from moving out of adjustment.
Adjustments
You will have at least 2” of vertical travel and 20 degrees of angle to work with. We suggest setting t
he
angle first, usually about the same angle as the forks on the bike. Loosening the knobs allows for adjustments.
Take the bike out and test. You may want to change the angle a little or change the height
–
this is very
much a trial and error type of experiment.
Be sure to stop and pull over when making adjustments.
Different weather conditions and different speeds will help in determining what works best for you.
