TUMBLEWEED RACK INSTALLATION
Thank you for purchasing a Tumbleweed Rack!
Cycling can be dangerous. Bicycle products should be installed and serviced by a professional mechanic. Never
modify your bicycle or accessories. Read and follow all product instructions and warnings including information
on the product website. Inspect your bicycle before every ride. Always wear a helmet.
WARNING: Do not overload the rack. Doing so will void the warranty and may result in damage or failure of the
material and possible serious injury.
Always check for adequate clearance between the tire and any accessory mounted to the bicycle frame and
fork.
● Regularly check the tightness of rack bolts and hardware, these can work loose over
time, especially in the first few rides after installation!
● Do not carry any live cargo (i.e. pets) as this may cause a shift in balance and a crash resulting
in serious injury to both you and your cargo
● Bicycle steering and braking may behave differently with a loaded rack.
● Position reflectors and lights so that they are not obscured when rack is loaded.
● Evenly distribute weight on both sides of this rack.
● An improperly modified rack can cause you to lose control and fall.
● NEVER MODIFY YOUR RACK OUTSIDE OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Compatibility
The Mini Pannier and T-Rack are compatible with Tumbleweed frames and forks, and are designed to work
with other frames and forks that have appropriate mounting points. Confirm that your frame is suitable prior to
installing any Tumbleweed components or accessories. Never modify your bicycle frame or fork.
Your frame should be equipped with threaded rack mounts at the dropouts and upper seatstays. Our racks are
designed to be mounted on frames and forks with dropout widths between 100-148mm. Fatbike frames with
dropouts wider than 148mm are not compatible with our racks. Some frames do not have threaded mounts at
the seatstays, and a seat clamp with integrated rack mounts can be used. To mount Tumbleweed racks to a
fork, the fork must be equipped with threaded rack mounts near the dropout as well as a pair of threaded rack
mounts at the fork crown. Tumbleweed racks do not come with hardware for mounting to a central fork crown
hole.
