LET’S GET STARTED
A Installing your Steadyrack bike rack
The rst step is to mark the exact xing position of the bolts. You may
need someone to help you hold the bike still for this step.
Take the rack out of the box, remove the end caps, then open it up and
place it down on the oor away from the wall.
Stand your bike in its normal upright riding position and place it at right
angles to the wall you are going to attach your Steadyrack bike rack to.
Refer to Diagram 1
Make sure the back wheel is hard up against the wall. Next take your
Steadyrack bike rack and place it under the front tyre simulating it hanging
in the rack. Get someone to hold the bike still while you mark the position
of the top centre hole on the oor with a pencil. Now place the bike and
the rack to one side and use your tape measure to measure the exact
distance from the wall to the pencil mark on the oor. Measurement X.
You then need to add an additional amount to this measurement to allow
for sufcient ground clearance when the bike is hanging in the rack.

• Measurement Y (see diagram)
For bikes up to 10kg (22lbs) in weight add an additional 50mm (2")
• Measurement Z (see diagram)
For bikes over 10kg (22lbs) in weight add an additional 75mm (3”)
Ideally you should have a minimum of 25mm (1”) and a maximum of 75mm
(3”) clearance between the back tire and the oor once the bike is mounted
in the rack. This range will allow for the easiest mounting and dismounting of
your bikes. Bikes come in lots of different sizes and the tyre sizes vary as well
so we recommend you check each bike before you start drilling your holes.
Now that you have your measurement all you do is transfer it to the wall
you intend to x your bike rack to and mark the position of the corresponding
hole on the rack. You now have the exact position of your rst hole located.
Drill your rst hole and bolt the Steadyrack to the wall so it hangs loosely.
Take a spirit level and use it to level the rack on the wall. Once you have
it level and plumb take a pencil and mark all of the remaining xing holes.
(Make sure the rack doesn’t move while you mark the holes).
Remove the rack from the wall and drill the remaining holes.
You’re ready to fasten your Steadyrack to the wall.
Insert the xings provided through the holes in the Steadyrack, and fasten
with a suitable size spanner or socket driver. Make sure the bolts are rm
but be careful not to over tighten them.
Replace the end caps, you’re almost nished.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Steadyrack bike rack.
Installing your new rack is easy when you follow these simple steps.
First you will need the following tools; a tape measure, power drill, the correct sized drill bits (10mm for the rack and 8mm for the rear tyre rest)
and a socket wrench or shifter to tighten the xing bolts.
The packaging includes xings for masonry or timber. If you are xing your rack to steel frame or any other material check with your local hardware
supplier to ensure you have the correct xings.
Diagram 1
Transfer your oor measurement to the wall adding either 50mm (2”) to
get measurement Y or 75mm (3”) to get measurement Z depending on the
weight of your bike.
Ground clearance can vary from nil to 75mm (3”) without affecting function.
See Installing your Steadyrack for details.

FAQ - Can I mount my racks at the same height so they look neat
even if my bikes are different lengths?
If your bikes are similar sizes but not exactly the same you can still mount
your racks all at the same height. Just make sure the mounting positon you
choose ts the longest bike.

HANDY HINT - To make sure you get the full benet of the easy
loading and unloading design try to keep all your bikes rear tyres no
more than 75mm (3”) above the oor when they are loaded into
the rack. You can mount your bikes higher if you want but it will be more
difcult to roll them in and out the higher they are mounted.
