Maybe not tight enough, It?s really tight & I don?t wanna strip/break it? Here is how it?s on now... It was on the bike when I got it and I?ve never had any experience with stabilizers before. A buddy of mine has one on his bike, but it is welded on, and i would rather not do that.

If the mount was put on the frame and the paint was not removed where the clamp pinches on the frame then as the paint wears and breaks down the clamp comes loose.

what is the best way to get off the paint? wire brush? sand paper?

The last time I did it I put the mount on the frame and used a razor blade to scribe the paint around the mount. Then I took the mount off and used the razor to scrape and chip the paint off of the frame where the mount clamps on. Super easy to do and only removes the paint you want gone.

they have 2 options that could be yours.
