Mounting a Tubus Tara with the worm drive universal fit kit
Mounting a Tubus Tara with the worm drive universal fit kit
Hi. Can anybody shed any light on how to proceed with this. There are no instructions with the kit. I can see how to put the actual hose clip on but not sure what to do with the drilled metal bits and the nuts.

Agreed that just a diagram would be useful but its not rocket science
I use this on one of my bikes quite succesfully.
so here goes
Do not wrap the fork with tape etc for protection - the strip does that and won't grip securely over tape - been there, done that!
position the clip carefully so that it a) doesn't interfere with the rack and b) you can get to the drive screw easily
i found that setting a bolt up as a stud to mount the rack to works best so you access the nut on the outside of the rack mounting point - neat and secure.

so here goes
- wrap rubber strip around fork then cut to size so there is no overlap
position hose clip around fork and over rubber and tighten until there is a 5mm gap on outside of fork
position tab between clip and rubber with tab facing up and out
tighten clip
attach rack
