They are made to last for years in all conditions, not to last one season and be replaced.

It's a 1 inch (25.4mm) neoprene rubber collar that snaps over the flagpole and lets you attach most any bicycle rear light. Most bike rear lights are designed to go on the seatpost of an upright bike, so they clamp right on.

The poles are designed to be stiff and not bend back as much. The flag is clipped to the pole and prevented from sliding off by a top cap. Should the clip fail for any reason, the top cap is designed to catch on the bottom of the flag. The top and bottom pole sections are held together with a ferrule that includes a special gripping collar. It takes a very deliberate twisting and releasing action to separate the poles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6.

Slide the tapered red tip through the silicone grip collar until it is firmly seated in the ferrule on the lower end of the upper pole. Insert the bottom end of the lower pole into your flag mount. You can typically put your flag into the tube that runs down the side of your seat. Some trikes, such as ICE trikes, have a hole in the plastic top cap for that purpose. Others, like TerraTrikes, may require you to drill a slightly larger than 1\/4 inch (about 6.5mm) hole in the top cap. Other trikes, such as Catrikes, come with a 6mm flag mount back on the rear dropout. The rear racks on HPVT trikes have flag mounts in them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe silicone gripper collar is designed to keep your poles from separating under all but the most extreme conditions. To separate the poles, pinch the collar around the lower pole until it wrinkles a little bit. This will break the suction and allow you to gently twist the lower pole out. If you try to just yank the pole out, the collar will tighten and grip even more. Pushing the collar up with a fingernail will also relax the collar and cause it to release it's grip on the pole.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere is a plastic clip near the top of the flag. Inside the flag, on the end of the pole, there is a cap that cushions the end of the pole. The cap can't get past the clip. If you want to remove the flag from the pole for any reason, gently pry the clip off and slide the flag off the pole. The cap is designed to catch on the bottom of the flag as a backup. You will need to wriggle and twist to get the cap out the bottom of the flag.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf it gets dirty, wipe your flag down with a cloth or old toothbrush dampened with soap and water.

Everything, from the aero shape, to the colors, to the top of the line reflective features, to the serious poles, these are not kids toys. They are grown up safety accessories with flair. They are made to last for years in all conditions, not to last one season and be replaced. Unlike most flags, they are designed to work at the speeds adults ride, and they wave in a deliberately controlled way instead of flapping wildly.

Do these do that?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eNo. The stiffer poles, special flag shape, and stronger flag material are specifically made to wave in a predictable, steady way, even at high speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3. Are these OK to be out in the sun a lot?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eYes. They are made of outdoor polyester, not thin nylon.

It's a 1 inch (25.4mm) neoprene rubber collar that snaps over the flagpole and lets you attach most any bicycle rear light. Most bike rear lights are designed to go on the seatpost of an upright bike, so they clamp right on.

The poles are designed to be stiff and not bend back as much. The flag is clipped to the pole and prevented from sliding off by a top cap. Should the clip fail for any reason, the top cap is designed to catch on the bottom of the flag. The top and bottom pole sections are held together with a ferrule that includes a special gripping collar. It takes a very deliberate twisting and releasing action to separate the poles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6.

Slide the tapered red tip through the silicone grip collar until it is firmly seated in the ferrule on the lower end of the upper pole. Insert the bottom end of the lower pole into your flag mount. You can typically put your flag into the tube that runs down the side of your seat. Some trikes, such as ICE trikes, have a hole in the plastic top cap for that purpose. Others, like TerraTrikes, may require you to drill a slightly larger than 1\/4 inch (about 6.5mm) hole in the top cap.

If you try to just yank the pole out, the collar will tighten and grip even more. Pushing the collar up with a fingernail will also relax the collar and cause it to release it's grip on the pole.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere is a plastic clip near the top of the flag.

If you have a 6mm pole currently, there is a chance this pole won't fit inside your flag. It's a small chance though, most flags are made with pretty generous flagpole slots.

Where can I attach it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eAlmost anywhere. The angle adjustment lets you get a good flagpole angle on almost any tube from horizontal to 90 degrees up (70 degrees on tubes 1-1\/8in and larger). You can use it on chainstays, seatstays, racks, backs of seats, trailers, all kinds of places. The flag mount itself is attached using a pair of Cateye brand clamps. Cateye clamps are super strong and available in sizes to fit tubes from 1\/2 inch (12mm) up to 1-1\/4 inch (31.8mm). This covers pretty much all the sizes of tubes you might want to attach to. If you want to attach to a rack with smaller tubing, we have shims to go from 1\/4 or 3\/8 inch up to 1 inch, ask for details. It's also possible to attach the mount to other places.

Will the flag fall out?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eNot very likely, particularly if you adjust the gripper to max grip. The gripper is a neoprene ring that grips the pole when you slide it in. Since it's rubber, it holds on through bumps and potholes and even a good tree whacking. The low setting gives a nice grip, but you can still push the flag in and pull it out. The strength goes up from there. With it all the way tight, you could lift your trike with the flagpole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eWe recommend the flagpole be mounted near the back of the seat and at a slight rearward angle (not quite vertical). This brings the flag further forward, so it's more visible when you enter intersections. It also ensures the flag doesn't hang back too far, making it easier to park and walk around. Typical places are a chainstay, a seatstay, or a tube on the back of the seat itself. Measure the approximate size of the tube and order your mount accordingly. If you don't know the size, and need help measuring your bike, we have a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/t-cycle.com\/pages\/tubemeasuringtool\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ehandy printable tube sizing tool\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eDepending on the angle of the tube you're attaching to, the Cateye clamps can either face the same or opposite sides. At low angles, the open (bolt) sides can both be up or both be down. At steeper angles, one clamp may need to have it's open (bolt) side on the top of the tube, and the other clamp on the bottom side of the tube. The flag mount is designed to work either way, with the orientation of the clamps extending the angle range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eOnce you've determined the best arrangement of the clamps, insert the bolts and start them into the clamps.

Insert and remove the flagpole and see how it feels. Insertion will be easier if there is a slight bevel on the end of the pole. Twisting the pole as you insert it makes it easier as well. If you want more grip, tighten the bolt.

Everything, from the aero shape, to the colors, to the top of the line reflective features, to the serious poles, these are not kids toys. They are grown up safety accessories with flair. They are made to last for years in all conditions, not to last one season and be replaced. Unlike most flags, they are designed to work at the speeds adults ride, and they wave in a deliberately controlled way instead of flapping wildly. They are designed and made to be used every day and perform for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2. I've had other flags that flapped a lot and made a lot of noise. Do these do that?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eNo. The stiffer poles, special flag shape, and stronger flag material are specifically made to wave in a predictable, steady way, even at high speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.

The poles are designed to be stiff and not bend back as much. The flag is clipped to the pole and prevented from sliding off by a top cap. Should the clip fail for any reason, the top cap is designed to catch on the bottom of the flag. The top and bottom pole sections are held together with a ferrule that includes a special gripping collar.
