BoBI Dropout Hanger

General Information

• Use both the adhesive and screw for best results.

• The dropout must be clean, dry, and bare metal prior to installation.

• Install the screw through the adhesive; it keeps the screw from loosening.

• DO NOT overtighten the screw or use power tools to install; it is small and can be damaged from excess torque.

• The skewer holds the hanger in place, the only time the adhesive and screw hold the hanger is when the skewer is out.

• When the skewer is out, take care not to impact the derailleur or hanger.

• Always shift to the smallest rear cog before removing the wheel.
  

Steps:

1. Clean the dropout and hanger with a solvent that leaves no residue, such as alcohol, lacquer thinner, acetone or fingernail polish remover.

• Hanger pocket must be free from paint and coatings.

2. Peel the white protective layer from the adhesive and apply to the dropout.

• Press firmly.

3.  Peel the red protective layer from the adhesive.

• Use a knife point or similar tool to carefully separate from the adhesive.
• The adhesive is clear and not easy to see; this may take a few tries.

4. Press the hanger firmly against the adhesive.

• Install the 2 mm screw.
• Tighten the skewer to clamp the hanger, adhesive, and dropout together. For best results, do this at a temperature of at least 70° and leave the skewer clamped for a few hours.

• In most cases, grabbing the hanger and pulling firmly will break the adhesive bond.

• If this does not work, install the skewer almost all the way and rap the end of the skewer with a block of wood or soft hammer.
