Check the Hooptie rail and SnackBar bolts often
All bolts are pre-treated with a threadlocker but over time, this can wear away. For this reason, check the tightness of
the bolts on the Hooptie rails and SnackBars often. If you are noticing bolts rattling loose, you can use a few drops of a
removable threadlocker like Loctite on the thread of the bolts to prevent this.

Cleaning the bar tape
If the bar tape becomes dirty, it can be gently scrubbed with a washcloth and soap and water.
Replacing the bar tape
The bar tape used on the Hooptie’s inner padded rail and the SnackBars is regular bike handlebar tape, commonly used
on road bike handlebars. Replacing the bar tape on the Hooptie rail or SnackBar - either because it has become worn or
because you want a different color - is the same process as rewrapping bike handlebars. One standard box of bar tape
contains enough tape to rewrap one set of Hooptie rails (the left and right rail) or two sets of SnackBars (front and back,
left and right). Bar tape can be found at your local bike shop and they can also help with bar tape rewrapping. Bar tape is
also easy to purchase online and there are various videos available showing how to easily do this at home.
