will it scratch the finish on my flat black Trek handle bar ?

It shouldn't, there's a thin rubber pad that comes in the kit ( at least mine did) that should take care of that.

Not if put on correctly. I had flat bars installed on my trek bike and the guy who did them for me put this on for me. I really like this gadget!

It has a plastic mount for the handlebar so it should not have scratch issues.

Yes, it can scratch. Its not an issue with the construction, its the finish - solid wood with that finish would likely scratch as well.

no, it is a flush screw and the screw hole is set up so that it will just be flush and they fit together. no scratches. hope this helps

I got the Techmount Handlebar Mount Kit - Standard - Chrome 3-30912C They also make it in black. Insure you get the proper mount for the particular bike/handle bar size. This was for a 2010 Harley Ultra Limited and came with some bushings for different size bars. It fit well and was sturdy and has good pivot points so you have some mounting options. It looks like a nice piece (not cheap looking)It's all metal.

If you install them on a dirty car, yes, you take the chance of scratching the finish. Where it attaches is small enough that it would be reasonable to wipe the mounting area prior to putting them on. As for denting from too much tightening, the instructions detail on how to use the included tool to properly torque the mounting screws as to not damage the car or the mounting brackets.

NO, it will scratch....You need a plastic-type spatula good for non-stick surfaces with a high temperature rating.

Mine was like that, too. I'm not using it on the handlebars of a bike, so the indentation may be ok, but I'm thinking it might be a packaging flaw. Since I use it on a mobility scooter, I just stretched it out and it works great now.

Yes, just make sure to loosen up the screw so you don't damage the plastic lining on the square crossbar. I would recommend you wrap the bar with black tape under the stacker to protect the plastic cover on the Thule crossbar.

Yes. That's what I do. It does it all. I mounted to a post tho so not 100% your handle bars will clear (if mounted to a wall). I have a support post floor to rafters (4x4) that mine is lag bolted into. Measure your bars center of stem to end to make sure the mount is long enough to accommodate...

Jake there is a heavy painted or dipped finish on it. I would assume if that is not scratched it will be good for some time. I am in Key West with salt in the air, I will rinse the bike basket with fresh water if I get direct salt water spray on it. I have had it close to a month now. I have sprayed the whole bike with CRC which I highly recommend but do not spray areas like seat shaft, wheel rims, and handle bar. Jim

I suspect that parts of the bike (pedals, handlebars, tire) would scratch wall, as these hooks would not standoff from the wall surface enough to keep the bike clear. The 100 pound per hook rating is probably a bit conservative, these are stroog hooks when mounted into structure!

Call the service dept and they will surely help. I have two of these on metal frame bikes and they can scratch, one thing you don't want to happen with carbon fiber. They have always been very helpful.

I'm guessing it depends on the type of grill you have. If it's stainless steel, it won't scratch but keeping a stainless steel grill "like new" is almost an impossibility. We have an older Weber 3000, so we weren't so concerned with scratching a new stainless grill pair we purchased.

If your trek does not have a rear disc brake it should fit. It is a great stand my bike has stood even in a wind that blew it backwards,but all the bike did was pivot on the stand and did not fall.

Depends on your model but they should have a two magnets to hold it closed. The black nail Polish is touch up paint for minor scratches and the plastic pipe was to protect the bike during shipping

No, Not in my experience. I've had no issues with a road bike with a narrow down tube. It does rub against a decal on my mountain bike with as wide down tube , but I'm not worried about it. The plastic is hard so of your really worried about you can put some type of cloth barrier. I have thought about applying some Sugru moldable puddy to the part that touches the frame, but it's really not that important to me.

I'm not sure. All I know is that it didn't fit my Trek properly. It looks like it will work on bikes with small rear rims. I even tried it I'm my Trek mountain bike and no good.
