All rear luggage carriers from tubus can be attached to all unsuspended bikes that have a hole or eyelet of at least 5 mm on each side on the dropout above the rear axle without an adapter. In addition, there must be eyelets at the top of the seat stays.

If this is not the case, see the next answer.

If your bike has no eyelets above the rear axle, our Adapter set for QR-axle-mounting (art. no. 71500 and 71501 – only for Logo 29”) should be able to help you. In this case, the carrier is held by the axle of the quick-release adapter. However, please note that this is not compatible with our Evo models.
Alternatively, we offer a thru axle adapter (art. no. 71700) to which racks can be mounted either directly or with the help of a foot extension (art. no. 70024, 71500, 71600).
If your bike has no eyelets at the top of the seat stays, you can mount our carriers there with clamp sets (depending on the diameter of the seat stay, art. no. 71614-71624).
Even suspended rear swingarms with 5 mm threaded eyelets can be suitable for mounting a tubus luggage carrier. However, it is best to have this possibility checked by your specialist dealer.

The TARA and GRAND EXPEDITION FRONT lowriders are suitable for all forks that have 5 mm eyelets on the lower fork ends (often, the mudguard stays are attached there). In addition, attachment eyelets should be soldered onto the middle of the forks. If this is not the case, the TARA can be mounted using mounting kit LM-1 (for fork blades with a thickness of 20-26 mm) and mounting kit LM-BF (for fork blades with a thickness of 25 – 40 mm).

The DUO lowrider is suitable only for forks with eyelets on the lower fork ends and eyelets on the middle of the forks, both of which can be seen from the inner and outer sides of the fork tubes. Eyelets that are visible only on the outer side of the forks are insufficient, since they do not enable the correct mounting of the DUO.

In the case of mounting problems, our foot extension (ART. NO. 70024 and 70063 (only for Logo 29”)) can help to move the carrier a few cm higher and to the rear. This solves the collision problem. Please note that the foot extensions are not suitable for the Evo models. Alternatively, you can mount our rear carrier DISCO. We designed this specially for bikes with disk brakes (the foot extension is already elegantly integrated into this product).

You can find size information for our luggage carriers directly on the product page and inside the product description here on our homepage. Speaking generally, a luggage rack designated for 28" will fit a bicycle frame with 28" wheels. In case of doubts, the exact dimensions of our carriers can be found under "technical drawing", which allow conclusions about the structural conditions of the frame.

The roundstays can be bent to a maximum angle of 45°. You must make sure that the bend is at least 20 mm away from the flattened end of the roundstay. The easiest way to bend the roundstays is in a vice. However, you must place a piece of leather or a similar material underneath so that the roundstays don't get scratched.

TIP: In the case of a luggage carrier with two roundstays, both roundstays should be bent together to ensure exactly the same bend is created.

Yes, doing so yourself is not a problem. Using a metal blade saw, shorten the round stay by about 1 cm longer than the required spot. We recommend deburring the freshly cut edge before sealing it with black color and the included end cap (article number 71008).

If the frame has eyelets that enable the attachment, not a problem! However, if these eyelets are not present, it's more difficult: A clamp set is not allowed to be used with carbon frames. The carbon fibres could be damaged by the required crimping action. For more information, please contact your specialist dealer.

For all of the products listed on our home page, there are technical drawings and assembly guides showing the minimum and maximum installation width of the luggage carrier feet. To avoid impairing the stability, even load distribution, and lifetime of your tubus carrier, please make sure that mounting does not take place under tension and that any lasting deformation of the product is prevented.
