WARNING:
Cycling can be dangerous. Bicycle products
should be installed and serviced by a professional mechanic.
Never modify your bicycle or accessories. Read and follow all
product instructions and warnings including information on the
manufacturer’s website. Inspect your bicycle before every ride.
Always wear a helmet.
WARNING:
Entanglement of cargo or straps in your wheel
could stop the rotation of the wheel, causing a loss of control or
crash that could lead to serious injury. Loose ends of the EXP
Rubber Straps must be tucked inside the included strap band and
kept away from any moving parts of the bicycle. Periodically make
sure that the EXP Rubber Straps are properly tensioned and loads
are secure.
Intended Use & Compatibility
The Salsa EXP Rubber Strap is intended to hold your cargo on the
Salsa EXP Series Anything Cradle or Salsa EXP Series Anything
Cage, as well as most front or rear bicycle racks. The EXP Rubber
Strap can also be used to attach an EXP Series Anything Cage Bag
or inner tube onto the top tube or down tube of a bicycle frame.
The Salsa EXP Rubber Strap is designed to be used in pairs.
Take care to properly tension the straps so the load is well-
secured before riding. Once the strap is wrapped through the
buckle and has slight tension, pull the strap an additional 2–3
hook slots to provide adequate tension without over stretching the
strap. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the strap and your cargo
to ensure you are achieving the proper tension for your load (Fig. 1).
Unintended use
Salsa EXP Rubber Straps are designed for bicycle use only.
The strap is not intended for use with sporting equipment other
than mounting cargo to bicycles. The strap is NOT intended for
securing skis (Fig. 2).
WARNING:
Securing sharp cargo could
cut or damage the EXP Rubber strap. The EXP Rubber Strap is not
intended for securing bicycles to car racks (Fig. 3). Always use
with the recommended racks and cages listed above and follow
the specified weight limits for those products.
Assembly
Orient the hook on the buckle head away from the load for easy
assembly and tensioning (Fig. 4). Place the strap band over the
strap prior to feeding the strap through the buckle (Fig. 5).
