Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Technology & Assembly

Find answers to frequently asked questions about installation and the technology behind RocketTT products.

Installation & Compatibility

1. Are RocketTT mounts compatible with my extensions?

Yes, in 95% of cases. Our Universal Base Plate is designed with a multi-point mounting grid. It can be installed either via the original threads of your extensions or with high-strength mounting clamps. If you have any doubts, contact our Custom Lab with a photo of your cockpit.

2. What is the recommended tightening torque?

The PA-CF is extremely robust, but it's not necessary to overtighten it. We recommend a tightening torque of 2 to 3 Nm for accessories. For mounting on the bike, always refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for your extensions (often between 4 and 5 Nm).

3. Is my Garmin or Wahoo computer properly supported?

Absolutely. Our gauge inserts are designed to provide a crisp, secure "click." They are interchangeable: if you change gauge brands, you only need to replace the insert, not the entire housing.

4. Can I use my own screws?

We always supply high-quality stainless steel screws to prevent rust. If you wish to use your own screws (titanium, for example), be sure to use the recommended length to avoid damaging the threads.

Materials & Durability

1. Why do you use PA-CF rather than standard plastic?

PA-CF (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Nylon) is an industrial-grade material used in the automotive and aerospace industries. Unlike conventional plastics (such as PLA or ABS):

It is much more rigid , which prevents vibrations on the road.
It withstands high temperatures (does not deform in direct sunlight in a car).
It has exceptional chemical resistance (sweat, salts, cleaning products).

2. PA-CF vs Aluminium: What is the advantage?

Aluminium is strong, but it has three major drawbacks in cycling:

Weight: At equal rigidity, the PA-CF is lighter.
Vibrations: Aluminum transmits all shocks. PA-CF has a natural damping capacity, thus protecting the electronics of your computer.
Corrosion: Aluminum can oxidize when exposed to sweat or salt. PA-CF is completely inert and will never change.

3. Are your parts resistant to high temperatures (summer / car)?

This is a crucial point. Unlike standard plastics (PLA or PETG) which soften at 50-60°C, the PA-CF used by RocketTT has a much higher thermal deflection temperature (up to 150°C ). You can leave your bike in a car in direct sunlight or ride in 40°C heat without any risk of deformation of your racks.

4. What is the resistance to impacts (falling from a bicycle)?

PA-CF is a tough material. Where a pure carbon part might crack or a basic plastic part might shatter, the reinforced nylon absorbs the energy. In the event of an impact, the part is more likely to remain intact, thus protecting any accessories attached to it.

5. How do you ensure the quality of each part?

Every RocketTT component undergoes post-printing quality control: surface finish check, fit test for the gauge inserts, and dimensional verification. We only sell what we would be happy to mount on our own racing bikes.

6. Aren't the vibrations likely to break the part?

This is the key advantage of Nylon (PA) combined with Carbon (CF). Nylon retains a slight molecular flexibility that absorbs high-frequency vibrations (preventing clean breakage), while carbon provides structural strength. Your accessories are more secure than on a rigid and brittle injection-molded plastic support.

7. How do I maintain my RocketTT parts?

A simple cleaning with soapy water is all that's needed. PA-CF is UV resistant, so the matte black color won't fade over time, unlike lower-quality plastics.
