Secure your folding Tern safely and easily with the Tern Handlepost Strap, a simple yet essential accessory designed to keep your handlepost stable when your bike is folded—ideal for navigating urban commutes or public transport in Malaysia.
-
Size & Compatibility
The strap is approximately 140 mm long, long enough to fit all Tern folding bikes. Its generous length allows you to select the longest hole for your bike configuration, preventing overstretching and ensuring long-term durability. -
Material & Design
Crafted from stretchable yet robust rubber, the strap secures the handlepost to the frame by hooking onto the ball head bolt. Its elasticity ensures a snug hold without compromising flexibility. -
Function & Purpose
Especially useful when carrying your folded bike—such as up stairs—to prevent the handlebars or stem from swinging loosely.
Usage & Care Instructions
-
Installation
Fold the bike’s handlepost into its closed position. Hook the strap onto the ball head bolt, selecting the hole that gives the best fit without overstretching. -
Check Before Use
Prior to carrying, confirm the strap is properly engaged and snugly holding the handlepost in place. A loose strap increases the risk of the handlebars shifting. -
Maintenance
Occasionally clean the strap with water and mild soap—especially after exposure to Malaysia’s humid or muddy conditions—and let it air-dry before reusing.
Precautions & Storage
-
Avoid Overstretching
Always use the longest viable hole for your bike setup to prevent rubber fatigue and ensure longevity. -
Storage Tip
When not in use, store the strap in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to avoid rubber degradation due to UV exposure. -
Safety Note
Keep it away from sharp or oily surfaces that could compromise its elasticity or cause tears.
