Product Information
Full details
The Restrap Switch Rack is designed for gravel and adventure cyclists who need a lightweight, adaptable cargo solution that integrates into a modular ecosystem. It serves as the primary backbone for Restrap Switch Panniers and Multimount accessories, offering a stable and secure platform for gear without the bulk of a traditional heavy-duty rack. While it offers excellent versatility, users should note that its performance is tied to the proprietary Switch ecosystem and requires replacing the rear thru-axle, which may not be compatible with all bike axle standards.

Troubleshooting

Tire is rubbing against the bottom of the rack

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Restrap Switch Rack, first verify that your bike utilizes a compatible thru-axle system. Remove your existing rear axle and replace it with the provided 7075-T6 aluminum thru-axle. Attach the rack frame to the axle mounts, then use the 25mm Velcro strap to secure the upper portion to your seatpost or seat tube. Use the Quick Flip system to dial in the vertical clearance relative to your rear tire size. For maintenance, periodically check all bolts for proper torque and inspect the Velcro strap for signs of wear. Clean the rack with a soft cloth and mild soap to maintain the finish and prevent corrosion.
