MiniMalist Rack—REaR installation
MINIMUM FITMENT REQUIREMENTS
FOR REAR MOUNT
• This rack was designed for use with the Salsa Rack-Lock
(figure 14)
• Your bicycle seatstays must have rack mounts (figure 13)
• A minimum of 19mm clearance is required between the deck
of the Salsa Minimalist rack and the highest point of the tire
or fender (figure 13)
REAR MOUNT INSTALLATION
1. Please see Salsa Rack-Lock installation guide for proper
installation of a Salsa Rack-Lock.
2. Mount the Minimalist to the Rack-Lock seat clamp using two
M5 x 12mm screws and two M5 washers (Refer to figure 10 for
steps 2–6).
3. Loosen the mounting struts and align the struts with the
frame’s seatstay mounts. Attach the rack stays with two M5
bolts (figure 11).
4. Secure the Minimalist rack to the Rack-Lock by torquing the
M5 bolts to 2–3 Nm.
5. Secure the Minimalist rack struts to the seat stays by torquing
the M5 bolts to 4–6 Nm.
6. Using a 10mm wrench, torque the strut mounting hardware
to 2–3 Nm (figure 12).
7. Although not required, you may want to cut down the mounting
struts to ensure they do not interact with the rack when
loaded. It is recommended that all cutting and filing be done
by a qualified bicycle mechanic. Take a measurement of the
struts (leaving enough room to reinstall the plastic end caps).
Mark for cutting and remove struts. Using a vise and
a hacksaw designed to cut aluminum, cut the struts to length
and smooth edges with a file. Reinstall, being sure to achieve
the proper torque requirements for all fasteners, and replace
the end caps (figure 13).
