Z-Hooks

Back to ZiNc's Parts Shop

Description

Paired with hooks modified from original designs by @seanbrowntown, this hook-and-wedge system offers mounted foot hooks paired with carefully crafted wedges - They work with most popular sensors and perfectly angle the hooks to lock in your ride.

Designed to work around common sensor shapes, these hooks can be mounted on most footpads with common sensors applied without causing any activation issues.

Printed in TPU, these hooks are indestructible.

Resources

Installation

Prerequisites

Remove your footpad from your setup. Prepare a drill with a small (1-2mm) bit for initial tapping, and a ~5.5mm drill bit and a countersink bit for the final hole diameters.

Separate the hook and wedge components from each other by removing the M6 screws holding them together.

Ensure you have some ~M5x25 screws for mounting the wedge (depending on your footpad, these may need to be longer or shorter), and M6x20 screws for mounting the hook to the wedge.

Step 1a (Stompies, SS v1-4, non-cuttable)

Front footpad with Stompie Sensor, StokedStock Sensor, or other non-FM sensor: Place the wedge on the footpad, aligning the outer hole of the wedge with the front hole of the footpad (You can place a screw down through the the wedge into footpad hole to help hold it in place).

If your footpad does not have a front hole, reference the above image to align the wedge as far forward as possible without interfering with the sensor.

Mark where to drill holes through the footpad accordingly.

Step 1b (Magnet, SSv5, or other cuttable sensor)

Front footpad with magnet sensor, SS V5, or other cuttable sensor: Place the wedge on the footpad wherever you would like, so long as it does not interfere with your sensor!

If it is placed too close to your sensor, it may cause activation issues.

Mark where to drill holes through the footpad accordingly.

Step 2

Drill holes for the wedge screws (at least 5.5mm diameter) and countersink them the bottom of the footpad. Clean out any debris from drilling.

Step 3

Tightly fasten the wedge to the footpad using your M5 screws, going up from the bottom of the footpad into the wedge.

Step 4

Attach the hook to the wedge using your M6 screws and reinstall the footpad.

Note for Rear Footpad

On the rear footpad, you may place the wedge wherever you like and fasten the wedge using the same steps as above.
