Does the Crystalyte Kit Fit Your Bike?

ATIV BatteryThe PDFs below contain fitting pages - simply open, print, and cut out the shape of the battery. Align the pages and tape or staple together. Hold the cutout up to your bicycle frame to see if it will fit. Remember to give the outline at least an inch or so of clearance so it can be easily taken on and off.

Dropout Size

DropoutThe wheel is designed to fit in a rear 9mm dropout, which includes most modern race, mountain, hybrid and touring style bicycles. However, there are a few designs that do not fit the 9mm dropouts and these are generally cruiser and BMX style bicycles which usually have 3/8” dropouts. A good rule of thumb is if a bicycle includes quick release levers in either the front or rear, it most likely has 9mm dropouts.
