Full details
The Oxford Disc Compatible Luggage Rack is designed for cycle commuters and touring cyclists who require a reliable, high-capacity storage solution for bikes equipped with disc brakes. This lightweight yet robust rack offers a secure way to transport heavy gear up to 27kg, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of mountain and hybrid bike wheel sizes. While it provides excellent stability and integrated mounting features, users should ensure their bicycle frame has the necessary mounting eyelets before purchase, as it is not suitable for frames lacking standard attachment points.

Troubleshooting

Check that all four mounting bolts and the adjustable strut screws are tightened to the correct torque.
Rack interferes with the disc brake caliper
Ensure the rack is correctly centered and the three-tube side configuration is facing the correct direction to clear the brake housing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the rack, ensure your bicycle frame features threaded mounting points on the seat stays and near the rear dropouts. Align the lower mounting arms with the rear dropout eyelets and secure them using the provided bolts. Attach the upper adjustable struts to the seat stay eyelets, ensuring the rack sits level horizontally. Periodically check all bolt torques, especially after the first 50 miles of riding. For maintenance, wipe down the frame with a damp cloth after wet rides to prevent oxidation. If you carry heavy loads regularly, inspect the welds and attachment bolts during your monthly bike service to ensure the system remains vibration-free.
