Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to correctly install your NEWBOLER Bicycle Luggage Carrier:
- Align the Bracket: Position the bracket with the lower fork at the rear of your bicycle, ensuring proper spacing.
- Adjust for Fit: If the bracket does not perfectly align with the rear fork, you can gently adjust it by bending it by hand and pressing it into position.
- Attach First Fixing Strap: Secure one fixing strap to one side of the bracket. Tighten the screws to secure it. Note: Do not fix two straps on the same side simultaneously during this initial step.
- Loosen Middle Screws: To make tightening the fixing strap screws easier, slightly loosen the middle screws on the bracket.
- Adjust Bracket Position: Make any final adjustments to the bracket's position on the bike.
- Tighten First Fixing Strap: Fully tighten the screws of the first fixing strap.
- Attach Second Fixing Strap: Place the remaining fixing tape on the other side of the bracket and secure it with screws. Remember to fix one tape on each side, not two on the same side.
- Secure Fixing Band: On the other side, follow the same steps to tighten the screws of the fixing band.
- Tighten All Straps: Ensure all four-sided fixing straps are securely tightened.
- Adjust Rear Seat Lever: Adjust the rear seat lever (if applicable) back to its required position.
- Final Check: The installation is complete once the middle screws are fixed and the entire assembly is stable and not shaking.

Operating Instructions
Once the luggage carrier is securely installed, you can attach various types of bicycle bags to it. The carrier is designed to work with different bag styles, including bicycle tail bags, front fork bags, and large-capacity volt packs.
- Install Car Bag Bracket (if applicable): If your bag requires a specific bracket, install it onto the luggage carrier as shown in the installation steps.
- Attach Bags: Place your chosen bicycle bag onto the carrier or its bracket.
- Secure Bags: Use the bag's straps or the carrier's fixing straps to securely fasten the bag. Ensure the bag is tight and will not move or sway during your ride.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your NEWBOLER Bicycle Luggage Carrier, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and fixing straps for tightness. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability.
- Cleaning: Clean the aluminum alloy surface with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Gasket Check: Inspect the silicone gaskets for any signs of wear, tear, or damage. Replace if necessary to continue protecting your bike's paint.
- Corrosion Prevention: The carrier is designed to be rust-proof, but regular cleaning and ensuring it's dry after wet rides will further prevent any potential corrosion.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bracket is unstable or shaking during ride. | Loose screws or improperly secured fixing straps. | Ensure all screws, especially the middle ones, are fully tightened. Re-check that all four fixing straps are securely fastened. |
| Bracket does not fit the bicycle frame correctly. | Initial misalignment with the rear fork position. | Gently adjust the bracket by bending it by hand to match the contour and position of your bicycle's rear fork, as described in installation step 2. |
| Attached bags are not secure or are swaying. | Bags not properly attached or straps not tightened. | Ensure the car bag bracket (if used) is correctly installed. Tightly fasten all bag straps to the carrier to prevent movement. |
User Tips
