2.2 Safe use of a pannier rack
WARNING
Improper handling of a pannier rack may cause you to fall!
Improper handling of a pannier rack or the luggage attached to it may lead to serious crashes.
• The rear rack can take a load of up to 8 kg per side.
• Make sure to not exceed the bicycle’s maximum load capacity of 130 kg, even when the rack is loaded.
• You should only use appropriate pannier bags. Also see “1.7 Installation of components and accessories“ on page 6.
• A loaded rack may change the steering and braking characteristics of your bike.
• Ensure lights or reflectors are not obstructed when the pannier is attached.
• Distribute weight evenly on both sides of the rack.
• Secure luggage against sliding or falling down. Make sure there are no loose parts hanging down.
• Secure and regularly check the rack’s mounting brackets.
• Racks must not be modified.
• Do not attach any bike trailers or child seats to the rack.
2.3 The rider’s duty of care
Following the instructions specified in this manual does not absolve the riders from their duty of care to ensure that
their bike is always in good condition. If there are any questions, please consult a qualified bicycle mechanic or the
ROSE Service.
