Steadyrack Bike Rack Installation instructions
The first step is to mark the exact fixing 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 floor 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 floor 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 floor. .
You then need to add the an additional amount to this measurement to allow for
sufficient ground clearance when the bike is hanging in the rack.
•For bikes up to 10KG in weight add an additional 50mm
•For bikes over 10kg in weight add an additional 75mm
Ideally you should have a minimum of 25mm and a maximum of 75mm
clearance between the back tire and the floor 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 you have your measurement all you do is transfer it to the wall you intend
to fix your bike rack to and mark the position of the corresponding hole on the
rack. You now have the exact position of your first hole located.
Drill your first 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 fixing 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 fixings provided through the holes in the Steadyrack, and fasten with
a suitable size spanner or socket driver. Make sure the bolts are firm but be
careful not to over tighten them.
Replace the end caps, you’re almost finished.
First you will the following tools; a tape measure, power drill, the correct
sized drill bits and a socket wrench or shifter to tighten the fixing bolts.
The packaging includes fixings for masonry or timber. If you are fixing
your rack to steel frame or any other material check with your local
hardware supplier to ensure you have the correct fixings.
Transfer your floor measurement
to the wall adding either 50mm to
get measurement Y or 75mm to get
measurement Z depending on the
weight of your bike.

SELECTION OF FASTENINGS
All we need to do now, is install the rear wheel support bracket.
Put the front tyre of your bike into the Steadyrack. Once it’s fully into the rack,
the back wheel should remain off the ground.
Check the bike is plumb and mark the point on the wall where your back tyre
touches. This is where you’ll put the support bracket.
Refer to Diagram 2.
Take your bike out of the Steadyrack.
Using the mark on the wall you just made place your bottom bracket so that the
centre of the bracket lines up with the mark. Now holding the bracket firmly in
place mark your two holes with a pencil.
Refer to Diagram 3.
Place the bracket to one side and drill your 2 holes. Use the fixings provided to
attach the bracket to the wall.
Refer to Diagram 4.
You are now ready to use your new Steadyrack… enjoy.
If you don’t want to mark your wall. Firstly place a strip of masking
tape on the wall, then mark the tape. Once the holes are drilled it
can be removed without marking the wall.
