Front Rack - Bike Friday Family Tandem Traveler User Manual

Accessories: Front Rack

1. 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.
2. 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 eye-
let near the ball-stop on top
of the rack. Screw the bolt
loosely into the cross bar.
3. 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
3.

4. Mount Lower Eyelets
Insert one of the short 5mm
bolts through the recessed
eyelet at the bo�om 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 drop out is on the rear side of the drop
out.
5. Mount Upper Eyelets
Using the remaining long 5mm bolts,
slip the bolts through the upper eyelets,
and then slide the long spacers over the
bolts on the inside. Thread the bolts
into the braze-ons on the fork legs.
6. 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
interference is significant, it
is acceptable to lightly bend
the noodle a bit tighter to
help clear the rack.
