What to Compare Before Buying
- Bike and mounting points: Check your wheel size and whether the fork has a suitable axle or eyelet mounting point for the legs.
- Handlebar fit: Measure the handlebar’s outside diameter and compare it with the listed clamp sizes. Also check space around brake and shift cables.
- Load limits: Confirm the rack’s rated load and your bicycle’s applicable limits before carrying cargo. No rack load rating is provided here.
Compatibility, Size and Fit
The listed wheel sizes are a starting point, not a guarantee of fit on every bicycle in those sizes. Fork layout, mounting points, and handlebar dimensions can affect installation. Check the fit and mounting arrangement for your exact bicycle before use.
Before You Decide
Check your bike’s wheel size, fork mounting points, and handlebar outside diameter. Confirm the rack’s rated load and the permitted load for your bicycle before carrying cargo.
