Restrap 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.

Key Features

• Lightweight aluminium alloy construction
• High Grade 7075-T6 aluminium axles available 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

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 compatibility: Bikes with a UDH derailleur will require a Restrap Switch UDH adaptor (available separately)
• SRAM Transmission/T-Type direct mount derailleurs: Will require a Restrap Switch Full Mount adaptor (available separately)

Which Axle Do You Need?

• All Switch Racks come with an axle supplied, designed to replace your current axle. It is compatible with 142mm and 148mm (boost) spacing and comes with spacers to tune fit.
• Correct thread pitch is essential for your frame:
  • To determine the thread pitch, remove your current axle. Many axles have the pitch printed on them: 1mm, 1.5mm, or 1.75mm.
  • If not printed, measure the distance over 10 threads:
    • 1cm = 1mm thread pitch
    • 1.5cm = 1.5mm thread pitch
    • 1.75cm = 1.75mm thread pitch
  • If unsure, consult your frame manufacturer.

Fitting Instructions

Fitting the Switch Axle:

1. Remove your bike’s current thru-axle.
2. Remove M5 bolts from both ends of the Restrap Switch thru-axle.
3. 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.
4. Use the supplied axle cone spacer for compatible frames.

Fitting the Switch Rack:

1. Slot rack legs over either end of the axle.
2. Screw in M5 bolts to secure.
3. Ensure the rubberised fabric strap is tightly wrapped around the seatpost or seat tube.
4. Use the velcro strap to tightly secure the seatpost/tube mount.
5. Tighten all bolts.

Tailoring Fit

• The 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.
• Rotate the top bar and ensure it is centralised.
• Remove the velcro strap from the seatpost/tube clamp and rethread to ensure the Restrap logo tab is on the drive side (because aesthetics matter).

Spares

• High Grade 7075-T6 aluminium axles in 1mm, 1.5mm, and 1.75mm thread pitch are available separately.
