- Attach Rack to Seatpost:
Position the quick-release clamp of the rack around your bicycle's seatpost. Use the rubber spacer provided to protect the seatpost and ensure a snug fit.
Tighten the quick-release mechanism until the rack is secure, but do not overtighten. The rack should be firm without excessive movement.

The rack is universal and can be adjusted for optimal positioning. Loosen the two bolts that secure the main rack platform to the seatpost attachment.
Adjust the rack forward or backward, and ensure the rear reflector (if installed) has adequate clearance. Re-tighten the bolts once the desired position is achieved.
