Product Information
Full details
The Restrap Switch Direct Mount Adaptor is designed for gravel, touring, and commuting cyclists who need a robust way to attach a Switch Rack directly to their bicycle frame. By utilizing existing M5 frame bosses, this kit eliminates the need for traditional axle-mount configurations, providing a cleaner, more stable rack setup. It is an excellent choice for those with compatible frame mounts, though it is not suitable for full-suspension bikes or frames lacking specific horizontal or in-line mounting points.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward but requires attention to frame specifications. Ensure your bicycle frame features horizontal or in-line M5 rack mounts located on the dropouts or seat stays.
- Identify the appropriate bolt length (40mm or 50mm) based on your frame thickness.
- Align the adaptor with the frame bosses.
- Secure the bolts using a hex key.
- Check that bolts do not protrude more than 3-5mm inside the dropout to prevent interference with brake rotors or the cassette/drivetrain.
Regularly inspect the bolts for tightness after the first few rides, especially when carrying heavy loads, to ensure the mounting points remain secure.
