  • / bikemanforu How to install the SunLite seatpost bicycle rack using shims. Free shipping at www.bikemanforu... This utility beam rack with pannier mount is made of tubular 6061 aluminum alloy. It features a quick release retention system, accepts side panniers, and boasts a maximum capacity of 22 pounds. The rear rack clamp fits 25mm - 32mm diameter posts, which is just about any bicycle seat post. The rack also is built with a rear mount to accept a reflector or light. Being a seat post mount, the rack is a great fit for a bike with disc brakes or that doesn't have braisons or fork eyelets. It comes with rubber shims in three thicknesses. Get free shipping when you buy bit.ly/12VQFcn In this product instructional video, UA-cam's how-to guru of bicycle repair begins installation by removing the seat post from his bicycle, noting that all seat posts are marked on the bottom with the diameter. Then he moves into guess-and-test mode, trying each shim inside the rack clamp for the right fit. He shows a neat little trick on inserting the shim into the rack mount and sliding it onto the post. With the selected shim installed inside the rack clamp, he slides the seat tube through the clamp and re-inserts it back into the seat tube of the bicycle, tightening the seat clamp with a three-way allen key. He then adjusts the rack into place on the seat post and finger tightens it into place. Whoo's! He's decided the fit is too loose. He likes the fatter shim. The seat post is removed and the rack uninstalled. The fatter shim is rolled and poised above the seat clamp on the rack. Then he takes the seat post presses down lightly, sliding slide both the post and shim inside the rack mount clamp. "I've got the fatter one in. We're not going to have a problem now...If you needed to, you could beef it up with something else...I've used pieces of a laundry bottle, an orange juice carton." The idea with this installation is to make the accessory fit using the installation kit and your own ingenuity. That's the BikemanforU school way of bicycle repair.

    thanks for the vid, i had this rack and it was pretty functional. just wanted to mention you inserted the QR lever on the wrong side and when you 'closed' the lever to tighten you were actually opening it :) at the beginning of the vid the lever was installed on the left not the right, the same side as the instruction leaflet.

    Hey Odi, why don't you try to make it to one of Bikeman's live shows? There is beer with Bikeman at 5:15 PM EST which is about 12 hours behind Indonesia. But there is also a youtube show on the weekends through our day.
    We would love to discuss economies and price differences between where you are and the US, especially where Bikeman lives. I am not sure if you are trolling about the prices but you seem like a respectable guy. Come join us!

    I love this style rack. However, problem is no matter what you do with the installation, the rack won't tighten enough and will still move from side to side. Only solution? Get it professionally welded. Problem solved. Again this is a great style rack.

    Hey Bikeman I have been watching your videos for a few days and loving them. I was thinking about adding a rack to my bike but putting a milk crate on it for store runs and ect. I was wondering can a milk crate fit on the post rack and not hit the seat or would you recommend a different rack that is longer/wider.

    BIKEMAN, I realise you are busy, I realise there may be things on your mind, however.. PLEASE smile after your sign-offs! There's nothing worse than a great video in your usual charming manner, only to end with a face like you've been told your hamster has diabetes. The final frame in the video is the last one people see, and so makes a surprisingly strong impression. SMILE! things could be much worse!
