The VIP straps work for tubes from 1" to 2.8" according to the website. The "pad" where the cage will attach is concave on the bottom side to mate with the tube and the straps wrap around the tube. There is a set of pads to protect the paint that install on the strap. I've used them on recumbent bikes and currently have a set on our Cannondale tandem. You will need to trim any excess strap but be careful to leave a short section in case you ever have to remove and reinstall them.
