Once the bolt is through the hole in the rack, place a spacer on
the bolt threads. This spacer will sit between the bike frame and
the PorterRack.

With the PorterRack being held upright, place one bolt
through one of the top holes on the front of the rack.
Please note: If you are installing an older PorterRack, there
are various holes on the front plate. Be sure to use the ones
that line up with your bike’s frame.

Bring the brake and derailleur cables to the center of the
head tube so that the cables will run between the empty
space that will be created between the top two bolts once
they are fully installed.

Place the other top bolt and washer through the front of the
PorterRack, slide the spacer over the threads on the back
side of the mounting plate and lightly thread the bolt into the
frame. Make sure the cables are running in between this bolt
and the other top bolt.

While holding these cables in the center of the head tube,

For the remaining two bolts, slide the washer over the bolts
and slide the threads through the front of the rack. On the
back side of the rack, slide the spacer on the threads and
lightly thread the bolts into the bike frame.

Before installing the two bottom bolts and spacers, guide the
brake, derailleur, and electric cables to the appropriate side
of the bike. Unlike the top bolts, you do not want these cables
to run through the middle of the bottom bolts.

Tighten all four bolts smoothly and evenly, alternating in a
criss-cross pattern. Tighten the bolts to 6-10 Nm.
