STEP 2: Attach the rack’s upper stays to
upper rack mounts using upper mounting
bolts (B) and two washers (C). Position rack
level with the ground. Various stay lengths can
be set by removing pre-installed hardware,
extending stays, and re-securing hardware.
You may need to slightly bend stays into
appropriate position. Tighten down all
hardware (6-8 Nm / 53-69 in lbs).
*Optional longer stays of 15.5” are available for
smaller frames (part #4001-4)
STEP 2 CONT’D: If bicycle frame does
not have upper rack mounts, rubber
coated P-clamps (E), nuts (D), and
upper mounting bolts (B) can be used.
STEP 3: Mount the L-Bracket to rack
using one bolt (A), one washer (C), and
one nut (D). A standard reflector can
be mounted direct to the L-bracket. A
Planet Bike rear light can be mounted
to the L-bracket with the addition of a
Planet Bike Taillight Rack Bracket
(Part# 3108, sold separately).

STEP 4: Inspect areas around upper
and lower mounting points for any
interference with the drivetrain or rear
brake assembly. If interference is
present, readjust rack. If interference
remains, do not use the rack. Finish
installation by checking all hardware to
ensure it is secure.

especially brake and drivetrain components. If
interference is present readjust rack. If interference
remains, do not use the rack.
Failure to follow installation instructions can result in
loss of control, damage, personal injury or death.
Check rack installation before each ride to ensure
hardware is tight and in good condition.
When attaching cargo to rack be sure to secure all straps
and loose items to prevent them from falling into the
spokes of the wheel. Recheck periodically throughout
your ride.
