REAR RACK // PROD. CODE: 1148097
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.

plate of the rack and slide the strut in position. Afterwards, tighten the strut bolt on
the rack to a torque of 6 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
