mount set screws from the fork legs. (On a disc
brake fork there will only be one set screw on the
drive side fork leg)

locking nuts on both fork legs until they bottom

the ground. Use the 8mm open-end wrench to
secure the locking nut.

Disc brake equipped bikes require the use of an angled
bracket adapter that mounts between the caliper bolt
head and the disc brake caliper. Position the eye-bolt so
that it is perpendicular to the ground.
