Keeper Wires

We recommend Keeper-Wires for AeroFlow Accessories that are attached with Dual-Lok. If the part is inadvertently bumped, the mated Dual-Lok halves can loosen and increase the potential of loss. Dual-Lok can securely hold parts only if the halves are properly seated, inspected and maintained.

Check all of the Dual-Lok fasteners for damage to the heads and stalks. Also, check the mounting adhesive to make sure that it’s not pulling away from the mounting surface. If Dual-Lok is not secure, or if the stalks are worn or damaged, replace them immediately. We recommend replacing the Dual-Lok every 12-18 months to avoid loss or damage.

Although not absolutely necessary, a keeper wire is simple and easy insurance against possible loss or theft. It involves drilling a hole in the part you want to secure, threading fishing line or a thin piece of wire through the hole, and attaching it to a part of the bike. That’s all there is to it.

1. Drill a 1/16″ dia. hole in the part, about 1/4″ away from the edge of the part, that’s close to a screw or other attachment point.
2. Thread a minimal amount of fishing line or wire through the hole you’ve drilled, then knot it.
3. If using a screw as the bike attachment point, loosen the screw a couple of turns, tie off the wire under the screw-head, and then re-tighten. If there is no screw nearby, other attachment points may require you to get creative. Just make sure the Keeper-Wire is connected to a secure location.
4. Ensure Keeper-Wirer does not interfere with any mechanical or moving part.
