FAQs
What size wheels is this rack designed for?
This rack is designed for bicycles with 26-inch and 28-inch wheel sizes.
Is this rack compatible with all disc brakes?
It is designed with an extended side stay for compatibility with most disc brake systems on 26-28" bikes. However, always check for clearance with your specific brake caliper and rotor setup.
Does the rack come with mounting bolts?
Mounting bolts are typically not included, as different bicycle frames may require specific types and lengths. You will need to source appropriate bolts for your bike.
What is the weight limit for this rack?
The product information does not specify a weight limit. Consult the manufacturer's guidelines or a professional bike mechanic for recommendations based on your bicycle's frame and the rack's construction.
How do I clean the luggage rack?
Clean the rack using a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with clean water and allow it to dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the powder-coated finish.
Can this rack be used on a bike with V-brakes?
While the primary design feature is disc brake compatibility, it may fit bikes with V-brakes if the frame has the correct mounting points and there is no interference. However, the extended stay is specifically for disc brake clearance.
Troubleshooting
Rack wobbles or feels loose
Check that all mounting bolts are securely tightened. Ensure the rack is compatible with your frame's mounting points and that no components are obstructing a firm fit.
Interference with disc brakes
Verify that the extended side stay provides adequate clearance. If interference persists, re-check the rack's position and the bike's frame compatibility. Minor adjustments to mounting position might be possible, but significant issues may indicate incompatibility.
Rust or corrosion on the finish
Wipe the affected area with a damp cloth. For minor surface rust, a very fine steel wool pad used gently might help, followed by a protective wax. Preventative care involves keeping the rack clean and dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
