How do I install the rear rack on the Northwind Commuter 5?

Where it mounts: The rack attaches at four points, all threaded eyelets on the frame:

  • Two on the seat stays (the thin tubes running from the seat down to the rear wheel)

  • Two near the rear axle, one on each side

Before you start: You don't need to remove anything from the bike.

Steps:

  1. Use the M5 bolts that come in the bag with the rack.

  2. Start all four bolts loosely by hand.

  3. Once all four are in, tighten them snugly. Don't over-tighten, because the eyelets are threaded into the frame.

  4. Check that the rear light wire isn't pinched between the rack and the frame.

Part number: NW-RCK-C5
