REAR RACK // PROD. CODE.: 2201861
Before every ride
• Check that the pannier rack fits tightly.
• When using pannier bags, make sure that they do not get in touch with the rear
wheel or mudguard. Simulate cornering manoeuvres while standing by tilting the
bike.
• Make sure there are no loose parts like tension straps etc. hanging down from the
rack.
• Make sure to securely attach all panniers to the rack.
Maintenance / Care
Regular care and maintenance ensure high durability and reliability, as well as unlimited
functionality. ROSE Bikes recommends carrying out the following tasks:
• Regularly check the tightening torque of all bolts.
• Regularly check all fastening elements (tension straps etc.) for proper functioning
and wear and replace them, if need be.
• Regularly clean and check the pannier rack. If there are any cracks, deformations or
changes to the surface, the rack must no longer be used.

Compatibility
The pannier rack is designed for bikes with 26” to 28” wheels.
The rear rack may only be fitted to bicycle frames with horizontal holes in the brake
bridge.
Preparing the rack for installation
1. Attach the mounting strut to the front part of the rack.
2. Tighten the bolt to a torque of 5 Nm.
Installation on the rear dropouts
1. Position the rear rack above the rear wheel of your bike.
2. Pass the mounting bolts with washers through the lower eyelets of the rack and
screw the bolts into the threaded eyelets on the bicycle frame.
3. Tighten the bolts to a torque of 6 Nm.
The fixing elements for attaching the rear rack to the bike are not included.
Installation on the brake bridge
1. Attach the mounting strut of the rack to the hole on the brake bridge. If the bike
has side-pull brakes, the mounting strut (1) of the rack is mounted together with the
brake. To adjust the length of the arm, only loosely tighten the bolt on the mounting
plate of the rack and slide the strut in position. Afterwards, tighten the strut bolt on
the rack to a torque of 5 Nm.
2. Pass the mounting bolt through the hole on the strut (1) and brake bridge of the bike
frame. Put the washer onto the bolt and tighten the nut on the bolt. Tighten the nut
to a torque of 6 Nm.
The fixing elements for attaching the rear rack to the bike are not included.
