Front Rack; Rear Rack - Bike Friday Silk User Manual

Accessories: Rear Rack
Mount Legs To Frame
Thread the bolts into the
eyelets on the dropouts on
each side of the bike. The
rack legs should have their
ends on the outside of the
dropouts. Leave the bolts
loose for now.
Attach Stays to the Frame
Remove the two bolts on
the sides of the rear end
tripod brace. Reattach the
two bolts through one of the
two holes in the rack stays.
Experiment with which rack
stay hole provides the most
level rack position.
Tighten Bolts
Tighten all four mounting bolts securely. If you would like to attach
a rear reflector or a rear tail light, there is a threaded mount on
the rear of the rack.

Accessories: Front Rack

Front Rack

The front rack consists of
two mirror image sides, a
long cross bar, and assorted
bolts and spacers. The cross
bar uses two 6mm bolts. The
lower mount uses two short
5mm bolts and spacers; the
upper mount uses two long
5mm bolts and spacers.
Look at the mounting eyelets on the rack. The recessed side of
the eyelets face out and are for the bolt heads. The flush side
faces in.
Mount Cross Bar
Select either side of the
rack, the cross bar and one
6mm bolt. Insert the bolt
through the recessed side
of the eyelet near the ball-
stop on top of the rack.
Screw the bolt loosely into
the cross bar.
Mount Other Rack Side
Insert the remaining 6mm
bolt through the other rack
side and loosely thread
into the cross bar. The rack
should now resemble Figure
80.
