Recommended Base materials:
Solid concrete is the best base material for
installation. To ensure the proper anchors are
shipped with your rack, ask your American Bicycle
representative which anchor is appropriate for your
application. Be sure nothing is underneath the base
material that could be damaged by drilling.
Installation:
3/8” anchors are shipped with the rack. Place the rack in
the desired location. Use a marker or pencil to outline the
holes of the flange onto
the base material. (TIP: If installing more than one Bike
Bike Rack, mark holes for each rack individually, as there
may be slight differences
between each rack). Drill the holes in accordance with
the specifications shipped with the anchors. Make sure
the holes are at least 6” away
from any cracks in the base material. Tap in anchors and
follow your specific anchor instructions provided with the
rack.
Tamper Resistant Hardware
More so than standard racks, the Bike Bike Rack may be a target
for theft. Therefore we recommend using a fastener that can’t be
removed by thieves. The concrete spike is a permanent anchor.
The top of the wedge anchor can also be pounded sideways after
installation so that it cannot be removed. Other tamper resistant
fasteners can also be purchased.
When using the special tamper resistant nuts, always set and first
tighten the anchors. Once the rack is installed, replace two nuts
from the bracket (opposite sides from each other) with the tamper
resistant fastener.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the tamper resistant nut.
