Removing Screws and Loosening Locks

  • Adjust the little lips that normally lock into the rack by loosening them all up, pulling them out as far as they can go, and then tightening them back down.

Positioning the Rack

  • Decide where you want to position the rack based on your preferences.
  • Consider factors like suspension seat posts and the need to avoid bag-seat contact during suspension movement.
  • Slide one of the brackets in between the Aventon rack and position it securely.
  • Slide the other bracket underneath, ensuring that the screw hole goes between the appropriate areas.

“Position the rack where you prefer it, taking into account factors like suspension seat posts. Then, slide the brackets in place, ensuring the screw hole lines up properly.”

Attaching the Rack

  • Use a longer bolt to attach the bracket and rack securely.
  • Line up the screw part with the hole and tighten it as best as possible.
  • Ensure that the upward clamp faces away to allow easy sliding of the bag.

Stabilizing the Rack

  • Tighten the screw between the bracket and the rack to prevent any movement.
  • Use zip ties through the holes in the bottom of the clamp and the side bracket to further secure the rack.

Adding Locktite
