BiCyCle RaCks
Bicycle automobile racks are available from many different manufacturers and many different rack designs
exist. They are convenient devices to transport your bike. However, any bicycle rack has the potential to
seriously damage your bicycle. Damage can occur immediately due to some aspect of an incompatible or poor
rack design. Damage can occur after repeated mounting, and dis-mounting. Damage can also happen while
the the bike is being transported in the rack. We can’t cover all the possible ways in which a rack can cause
damage to your bike.

Both carbon and aluminum frames and forks can be damaged (crushed, cracked, or dented) by the clamps
and support systems of a bike rack. Both carbon and aluminum can suffer serious abrasion damage by the
movement of the bike in the rack during transport. All damage to your bike is very serious, that is why you
must take extra care when choosing a bike rack and when actually mounting your bike in the rack.

damage.

CaUtion
When UsinG a RaCk With foRk dRoPoUt ClamPs
Make sure that both fork dropouts are engaged in the rack before clamping. Make sure both dropouts are
clamped with equal force. If only one dropout is engaged and the bike tips over, the leverage can exert
great force that may damage the dropout. If your bike tips over, have the dropouts examined by a retailer.
