GS Bike Mounts Manual-070218
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION
NOTE: The GearSpace Bike Mount is a Universal Bicycle
Mounting System created to accommodate and transport bikes
inside the GearSpace Cargo Carrier. In order to achieve a custom
t for your bicycle, this Bike Mount can be assembled in many
different congurations. The steps below outline some common
arrangements.
The GearSpace Bike Mount attaches to the carrier using two (2)
existing Hex Bolts located on the GearSpace oor attaching the carrier to the wings of the platform [see your
GearSpace Manual if you need clarication on these locations]. Prepare your GearSpace by choosing your
preferred installation position using two bolts on either located on either the drivers or passenger side of the
carrier. Using a 10mm Socket and Wrench, remove the chosen two (2) existing Hex Bolts from the carrier oor
as set the bolts and hardware aside. Wipe down the area with a damp cloth. [Figure 1]
NOTE: For installation of two (2) GearSpace Bike Mounts, one position will be one the drivers side and one on
the passenger side on the opposite end of the carrier.

NOTE: As a part of the built-in versatility of the GearSpace Mount the Spring Nuts [F] can be installed
anywhere along the C-Channel [A] Track, however choosing one side is recommend for best storage space
savings with-in the carrier [Figure 6].

[Figure 4] Then, applying downward pressure rotate the Spring Nut toward it’s grooved edge until the “teeth”
located on the Spring Nut lock into place with the edges of the C-Channel. [Figure 5] The Spring Nut should be
perpendicular to the C-Channel when done. [Figure 6]
