Handlebar Adapter for bike display - Klickfix Multiclip

Came across this today on the KLICKfix website. Might be useful for Bosch etc owners?

That's probably fine for a display or lights, but what makes me laugh is their assertion the daft little clamp will hold a laden bag.

The photo may be a bit misleading as it shows the clamp, plus the extension adapter for handlebar accessories like speedometers etc.

The clamp itself is very solid, and I "standardised" on it for all of my bikes, enabling me to have just one bag and one basket which can be clipped quickly onto any of my them.

Here it is on one of the electric ones. It's very solid really, and has taken as much weight as you would want to hang off the bars. It also incorporates a steel wire which loops over the top of the handlebars and under the handlebar extension, to stop the clamp from swiveling downwards.

the KLIK FIX fitting, works extremely well, but it is dependent on the wire that slips under the stem for support

...and Bosch bikes do the need the extension fitting

to allow the speedo/control unit to fit back on the handle bars
the fitting will support Altura, and Ortlieb bags, and probably KTMs own ones too, as it seems to be the 'euro' accepted fittings

having said that, I/we have just come back from a bike tour round Puglia, (on un powered bikes!), and the bar bag fitting the company provide does not have the wire support, and is serious flimsy


cheers barry

I see the wire support now - it would seriously need that and it strikes me as an afterthought when they realised that heavier loads would just cause the holder to swivel on the round bars, way beyond the ability of the clamp to tighten enough.
