Review on Odi Vans Lock Clamps Black by Kevin Vanlaere

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Installation instructions in the test. **Comfortable, durable and EASY TO INSTALL!**

Excellent traction like a van sole. Easy installation. I replaced an original Schwinn grip set on a 21 year old MTB and couldn't be happier. Some are outraged by the lack of instructions. I think ODI sees it that way. If you can't figure it out, you should bring it to the store. But since not everyone has been riding a bike their whole life, I decided to write a basic installation guide. See below. How to install: Open the package, remove the contents. Included in delivery: four aluminum locks, two handles, two end caps and four set screws. First, take four aluminum locks and four set screws. Screw in the grub screws, but do not fully tighten. Press the four tabs into the ends of the handlebar, align the channels and press until you hear a click. They should be flush with the rubber part of the handle. Now snap the end caps into the W-locks at the end of the bar on each handle assembly. If the ends of your rods are rough and the strands don't go past the edge, use a file to smooth them out. Slide the entire handle onto the crossbar. You may need to release the brake levers and switches. Push the handle down so you can feel the outer lock slide over the end of the bar and hit the end cap. Adjust the handle and tighten the latches. Adjust the brake lever and shifter as needed. Journey.
