Wald #215 Rear Mount Bicycle Rack


Instructions from Wald [...] :

"The Wald 215 Rear Rack works best with bicycles using 26-inch wheels and a fixed gear, single speed, or internal transmission. Some 700c (28-inch) wheels can be accommodated but only on a case by case
basis.

"1. The rear rack is designed to install at the rear brake or brake bridge on your bicycle.

"2. On most bicycles, regardless of the type of brakes being used, there usually is a tube that sits in between the two rear seat stays on your frame. Many newer bikes still have the bridge, but don't use it due to the use of cantilever, V-style, or disc brakes.

"3. If the brake is mounted to the bridge, then you will need to remove the brake and use the brake bolt to attach the flat, angled bracket to the bolt. Then reinstall the brake and tighten the bolt accordingly.

"4. If the brake is not mounted to the bridge, then you will need to find a bolt, nut and washer that will fit the hole in the bracket and on the brake bridge.

"5. The flat, angled bracket mounts to the front of the platform into the squared holder. The bracket has long slots cut out of the center to provide reach adjustment to the brake bridge.

"NOTE: Many new bicycle frames use a geometry that places
the bike's seat stays at a low position on the seat tube.

"Think of your rear wheel as a clock. If the seat stays (tubes
leading from the rear axle up toward the saddle) contact the
seat tube between the 12 and 1 o'clock positions on the
wheel, then our rack will potentially fit your bike.

"If the seat stays contact the seat tube beyond the 1 o'clock
position, then the included mounting bracket is probably too
short to reach all the way to the brake bridge on your bicycle."

[So bikes with 700c or 28" tires, or bikes with long seat stays, may not fit]Get more detail about Wald #215 Rear Mount Bicycle Rack.
