Introduction
This guide explains step-by-step how to change the plastic on your Ghost Roller J-Cup 2.0 to achieve the optimal fit on your rack.
-
-
The tubes that make up your rack uprights can vary by .03" (~1/32") above or below 3”. If you have racks from other manufacturers, particularly those made from metric tube, they can be .06" (~1/16”) or more below 3”.
-
Athlete preference for fit also varies.
-
As shipped, the Ghost Roller J-Cup is designed to fit on the most common tube size which is around 3.015" (3-1/64").
-
If you received the calibration kit that means that the fit is either tighter or looser than you desire.
-
-
-
Determine if your Ghost J-Cup 2.0 is too loose or too tight for your preference.
-
Remove the Clasp Plastic using the provided Hex Key and take note of what type of plastic was installed on your J-Cup by referring to the included parts list.
-
Note that your Clasp Plastic may have UHMW Tape Shims [4] installed on the back of it. See attached drawing for reference. If your J-Cup is slightly too tight, try removing this tape and checking the fit again. If still too tight, proceed to the next step.
-
-
-
With Clasp Plastic removed, slide J-Cup back onto Upright for testing process.
-
Note: In the next steps you may be using various thicknesses of plastic and tape to check the fit of your J-Cup. In most cases, you can check the fit without having to install/remove the plastic each time by simply sliding a plastic or tape piece into the gap while J-cup is on the rack.
-
If your J-Cup is too tight, proceed to Step 4.
-
If your J-Cup is too loose, proceed to Step 5.
-
-
-
If still too tight after removing tape, try a thinner Clasp Plastic- [1] if you started with [2], or [2] if you started with [3].
-
Use one hand to stabilize the J-Cup while the other hand slides the plastic in place as shown.
-
If too loose with a thinner plastic, try sliding in the 0.1” UHMW Tape Shims keeping the adhesive backer in place while testing fit.
-
Note: you may need 2 pieces of 0.1” UHMW tape stacked on top of each other.
-
-
-
If your J-Cup 2.0 is too loose, try adding a thicker plastic; [2] if you started with [1] or [3] if you started with [2].
-
If J-Cup becomes too tight with a thicker plastic, try adding a .01” UHMW Tape Shim to a thinner Clasp Plastic. Refer back to Step 4 to see depiction of adding UHMW Tape.
-
-
-
Once you find a desirable fit, re-install plastic using original screws and included Hex Key. Tighten screws all the way down until the Hex Key becomes difficult to turn.
-
Test the fit again to ensure proper fit. If still not a desirable fit after completing this process, you can tweak the fit in small increments by continuing to stack or remove UHMW Tape as needed.
