Switch Rack

We have applied all the principles of engineered minimalism that are the hallmarks of Restrap’s luggage range to our Switch Rack: lightweight construction, durable materials, quick and simple fitment/removal.

The heart of Restrap’s Switch system; the Switch Rack is compatible with the Restrap Switch Panniers and all other Switch Multimount products as well as any product or accessory that uses 64mm-spaced mounting points, like bottle cages etc.

All mounting hardware included.

Features:

Lightweight aluminium alloy construction
High Grade 7075-T6 aluminium axles in 1mm, 1.5mm and 1.75mm thread pitch options
Multiple 64mm-spaced mounting points
Compatible with Restrap Switch products
25mm velcro strap to fit all seat post sizes and shapes
Quick flip system provides maximum wheel clearance across all bike sizes

Fitting the Switch axle:

Remove your bike’s current thru-axle
Remove M5 bolts from both ends of Restrap Switch thru-axle
Fit the Restrap Switch thru-axle using a 6mm allen key. Use as many 3mm washers as necessary to centralise the top bar over the rear wheel
Use the supplied axle cone spacer for compatible frames

Fitting the Switch Rack:

Slot rack legs over either end of the axle
Screw in M5 bolts to secure
Use velcro strap to secure the top bar to either the seatpost or seat tube

Tailoring fit:

Quick flip system allows you to flip the top bar to maximise wheel clearance and provide a range of seat post or frame mounting points.
Use a 3mm allen key to completely remove the bolt from the tube clamp
Slide the top bar out, rotate 180 degrees and then replace
Make sure bolt holes line up, then replace bolt and tighten

Compatibility:

Only compatible with bikes with a 12mm diameter thru-axle
Compatible with bikes with 142mm or 148mm (Boost) spacing
Not designed for use with full-suspension frames
IMPORTANT – ensure axle thread pitch matches your bike. Do not attempt to fit without the correct thread pitch.
UDH – bikes with a UDH derailleur will require a Restrap Switch UDH adapter (available separately)
