1
Keep your struts clean! Just like your shifters and derailleurs,
dirt, dust, and grime can work themselves into the
mechanism resulting in sub-par peformance. Periodically
run a cloth around each Piston Pro X tube to keep your rack
looking good and functioning smoothly.
2
Ensure tire cradles make contact with tires. Insufficient
contact could result in bicycles becoming loose during travel.
Each arm requires at least 1 click of engagement to ensure
safe transport.
3
To solve any interference issues, bikes can be loaded
in the same direction, or asymmetrically, as well adjusted
left and right on their individual trays.
