Troubleshooting

Luggage rack is loose or unstable.

Ensure the thru-axle is securely tightened. Check the M6 thread connections on the rack and tighten if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Selection: Choose the correct thread pitch for your bike's frame. Incorrect pitch can damage the frame.
Installation: Remove the existing thru-axle from your bike. Insert the Ortlieb Thru Axle M6 Connector, ensuring the M6 threads face outwards for rack mounting.
Adjustment: Adjust the length using the included spacers if necessary to achieve the correct fit for your frame. If your axle is shorter than the maximum length, ensure it still screws through the frame properly.
Rack Attachment: Mount your compatible luggage rack (Quick-Rack L or XL) using the integrated M6 threads.
Compatibility: Check compatibility with your bike frame's thru-axle specifications. Ensure it fits within the adjustable length range.
Care: Regularly check the axle and rack for tightness. Clean with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals.
