At least in my thinking, they went about this the wrong way? It would work a lot better if it pushed forward around the tire, and clicked into position. It could be released with with a button or small lever.,,,,,BD
And....I'm sure glad I had a set of SAE allen wrenches in my toolbox. Otherwise I'd be stuck. I don't run into SAE allens very often, on anything!
I think you jsut need to scoot it just a smidgeon more, if you have space on teh downtube. It is an over-center fit with the tire, but you don't want to have high side forces on the down tube.
Like most things on bikes, this will benefit from some more fine-tuning. Luckily those Allen wrenches don't weigh too much.
