Using this mount is a breeze. First, attach the two handlebar clamps to your 31.8mm diameter handlebars. Then, adjust the two 7' flexible arms to get your laptop in the perfect position for your training session. Next, use the 6' SeaSucker vacuum mount to attach it under your laptop. When you're done, just remove the handlebar clamps easily. As for maintenance, keep the vacuum mount clean and check the clamps for tightness regularly. Avoid using it on bars with a diameter other than 31.8mm to prevent damage.
