    I’ve got an 8 or so year old one

    tried fitting it from daughters 16 inch bike to a 20 inch Hot rock and the U shaped bolts are too short and won’t fit around the head tube. Haven’t measured it but guess the 16 inch bike has a 1inch head tube, not 1 1/8

    have they updated these to fit fatter headtubes? This looks like it shoulf fit?

    Mine’s only a couple of years old, so could measure the bolts when I get home later.

    Will do – will reply to this.
    You could try giving UK Bikestore a ring – unlike some online retailers, they do actually answer their phones!

    Here you go Charlie. Photos showing the size and also lined up against my son’s 20″ wheel bike, which has 1 1/8th headset. Fits ok.

    cheers dez – looks like mine is the same. Suspect my bolts are just a bit bent through use on other bikes – managed to get it on last night (just)

    think the issue is that the top and down tubes are pretty beefy and no gap between, so u bolts have to go above top tube and below downtube – not between = tight squeeze. Bolt holes in mounting bit could do with being wider spaced
