Loading TIP: Load bicycle onto the carrier with the bicycle chain facing outward from the Wings and the inside pedal positioned
downward. This helps keep chain lube off the carrier, and provides open space in the lower, center portion of the “V” for the
inside pedal(s) to fit easily. Load the second bike so its handle bars face in the opposite direction of the first bicycle for clearance.
Securing Bicycles on Carrier
Set bike(s) on wheel cradles. Secure bike(s) to rack starting with the Wheel Toggles. Finish securing with the Double
Toggles.
Determine the approximate center-to-center distance
between the hubs of the bike wheels and attach the wheel
cradles to the Wings with the Hair Pin Clips to match this
distance.
Step 3: Attach Wheel Cradle Assembly
Step 2: Assemble Wings
Slide Wings into the Base pockets and secure the
Wings to the Base with the Wire Lock Pins.
Double Toggles TIP: The Double Toggles provide a number of ways to achieve Constant Tension™ of your bicycle to the carrier,
using one or both double toggles to capture the fork, chain stay, or seat stay. Loop the Toggle over the pedal, crank, or other
position on bicycle, allowing the elastic feature to pull the bike both down and inward against the Wing pads. The Constant Ten-
sion™ removes both “front to back” and “side-to-side” sway, firmly seating the bicycle during transit.
Operation
The V2 Base plate has a Toggle pocket (upwardly angled groove)
on each of the four corners for Double Toggle attachments.
To prevent theft, the Base plate includes four holes for padlock
locations for locking bicycles (bike locks not included with V2
Bike Rack).
