Title: battery racks
Post by: trumpetbum on June 01, 2010, 11:22:31 PM

i have both types of racks.. the one that just mounts on the seat post, and the one that looks more like a traditional rear bike rack


i also have double suspension bike that i'm trying to use this on... although I could move it to my older non-suspension bike



the first type of rack is great, but I find that the supplied bracket is too large for the seat post, so its a challenge keeping it tight... any ideas??/

also, I would like to use the second type of rack, but having a hard time finding a good pic of how to mount it.... especially on a suspension bike...thanks gary.. for the pic you sent of the bottom part of the mounting process.... I also need to see how to do the top part, or maybe a better way?/   

also wondering how the suspension might affect the rack...


thanks in advance!


oh... and wondering why the controller box isnt deeper... hmmm...

I cut up an old bike inner tube and used that to wrap around the seat post. That helped limit the gap quite a bit.

For the traditional rack, I had to replace those two arms going forward and fasten them at the suspension bolt:
