Accessories: Front Rack

Mount Lower Eyelets

Insert one of the short 5mm

bolts through the recessed

eyelet at the bottom of the

rack. Place one of the short

spacers over the bolt on the

inside of the rack. Repeat

with the other side. Place

the assembly over the front

wheel, and then loosely

thread the bolts into the eyelets on the fork drop outs. The part

of the rack hanging below the dropout is on the rear side of the

drop out.

Mount Upper Eyelets

Using the remaining long 5mm bolts,

slip the bolts through the upper eye-

lets, and then slide the long spacers

over the bolts on the inside. Thread

the bolts into the braze-ons on the

fork legs.

Tighten All Bolts

Now tighten all six bolts

carefully. Your front V-brake

noodle might touch the right

rack side. This is generally

not an issue. If the inter-

ference is significant, it is

acceptable to lightly bend

the noodle a bit tighter to

help clear the rack.
