Step 1: Assemble The Rack
Ensure the rack is oriented correctly as shown in the photo below. The rack platform is threaded to accept the 6 short M5 x 10 mm bolts provided. Thread the short M5 bolts into the rack platform, but do not fully tighten them yet as you may need to adjust these bolts later depending on your bike's frame size.
Step 2: Attach the Rack to the Seat Stays
Use the last 2 short M5 bolts to bolt the arms to the seat stay of the bike near the seat tube.
Step 3: Attach the V rods Near the Axle
The rear of the rack can now be bolted to the frame near the rear axle of the wheel. Depending on the version of bike you ordered, the V rods will need to be installed in a slightly different order.
- On versions where the fender arm bolts onto a black dropout bracket with no nut, the rear rack will need to be installed as shown below.
- On versions where the fender arm bolts onto a black dropout bracket with a nut on the inside, the rear rack will need to be installed as shown below.
- On versions where the fender arm bolts directly to the frame, the rear rack will need to be installed as shown below.
Step 4: Final Adjustments
At this point the rack is installed on the bike but you may notice that it is not level with the ground. This can now be adjusted by changing the bolt holes used for the front arms. Once the rack is level, be sure to go back and tighten all of the bolts to ensure a secure and safe fit.
We hope that this guide helps to assemble and install your rear rack onto your Roadster V3. If you run into any issues along the way, feel free to reach out to our knowledgeable customer support team with photos and/or videos of where you are in the process for further assistance.
