Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic hand tools to attach the rack arms to your bike's seatstay mounting points and the lower dropouts. Ensure all bolts are tightened in an alternating pattern to maintain even tension. For compatibility, verify that your bike frame includes eyelets near the rear axle and on the seatstays. Care for the rack is minimal: wipe down the powder-coated finish with a damp cloth to remove road grit or salt. Periodically check all mounting bolts to ensure they remain snug, as road vibration can loosen hardware over time.
