Unfold and PositionRemove the bike rack from the packaging and unfold the rack by pulling the two tubes apart, like you would with the legs of a folding chair. You'll see a Bell logo on one side of the rack. Turn the rack so that the Bell logo is facing up. If you're holding it in the proper position, the two tubes will be at the bottom of the rack.

These are the first straps you need to connect to your car's trunk. Position the rack so that the two tubes are facing away from the car and the Bell logo is facing up. Rest the rack toward the edge of the trunk and grab the two 'upper' straps.

Hook the straps into the hinge of your trunk and then pull the adjuster to tighten the straps. Attach Lower and Side StrapsLocate the four remaining straps. Two are marked 'lower' and two are marked 'side.' Attach the left-lower strap to the bottom of your trunk on the left side and the 'side' strap to the left side of your trunk.

Repeat this process for the right section of your trunk, securing the corresponding straps. Once in position, pull the adjuster to tighten the straps so that they are securely attached. Mount Your BikeCheck that all of the straps are tight. Then, you're ready to mount your bike. Unfasten the Velcro straps at the top of the rack, lift your bike up and rest it on the bike rack.

Secure the Velcro straps around the frame of your bike. After mounting the bike, double check that the straps are still secure. The added weight of the bike may slightly loosen the straps. If you're going on a long trip, it's a good idea to check the straps each time you stop for gas.

Attach Adjustable ArmsBegin by attaching the two sliding arms to the underside of the rack. They don’t need to be tightened all the way. You still want them to move in and out so we can get everything lined up correctly when we mount the rack on the bike.

Just give ‘em enough twistin’ so that they don't rattle all over the place.Install at DropoutsNext, we’ll mount the rack to the rear dropout eyelets.The size bolt you’ll need here will depend on your, but luckily most frames use the same size bolts for their water bottle braze-ons, seat stay mounts, and eyelets! That means it’s easy to cannibalize one of your unused water mounts to attach the rack!I’ll usually steal the bolts from my least convenient bottle mount, but you can always ask your local bike shop if they have any spares that’ll fit too. A lot of riders pull ‘em out for aesthetics/aero/etc and they have a tendency to pile up in the parts bin, at least here at HQ.Tighten the eyelet bolts on both sides until they’re just shy of seizing. We still want the rack loose enough to adjust and level, but we don’t want it to flop all over the place while we get the rest dialed in.Level RackNow let’s level this puppy out.

A slanted rack looks junky, makes hauling harder, and just isn’t your style. Pivot the rack at the eyelets until it’s nice and parallel with the ground.If you’re a perfectionist, pop out your phone or a real-life level and you’ll be able to get it right on the dot. Then tighten up the eyelet bolts to lock the rack into position. Bend Adjustable ArmsNow we need to make the adjustable arms reach our seat-stay mounts, so slide them in or out of the rack until the length looks good to reach the bolts.

Then, bend the adjustable arms down until the hole at the end is aligned with the seat stay bolts.If your bike doesn’t have mounting points up there, use the included p-clamps and bolts to “add your own”! Just wrap one onto each seat stay and align the adjustable arms with the hole on the p-clamps instead.Install at Seat StayNow that the arms are in position, tighten them onto the mounts or p-clamps to secure the rack. This is also a good opportunity to tighten the adjustable arms to the rack since we won’t need them to be able to slide in or out anymore. Add Reflector/Light MountThis step’s optional, but when you add a rear rack you want to be aware of the effect it’ll have on any lights and reflectors that you rely on for visibility. If you’ve been using your seat-post as a light mount, there’s a good chance your loaded rack will block the view from people coming up behind you. That’s where this little guy comes in.Bolt the L-shaped bracket under the rear of the rack and you’ll give yourself a new place to mount lights or reflectors that’ll stay visible, even when you’re fully loaded.Tighten EverythingAnd that’s it!

Go around and give everything a final tighten to make sure it’s secure and then you’re ready to ride!You can give yourself some extra carrying capacity with a, or and don’t forget to tie down your loose loads with to keep it all together. Now get out there and show us what you pick up!
