6. Cara ngungkulan

Here are some common issues and solutions for your bike rack:

• Bikes Shifting: Ensure all tie-downs are individually secured and tightened. For bikes with non-standard frames (e.g., some women's bikes), consider using an adapter bar to provide a level top tube for mounting. Always secure the front wheel with a bungee cord or strap to prevent it from swiveling and hitting the vehicle.
• Rack Not Secure: Double-check that all six straps (two top, two side, two bottom) are correctly hooked and pulled taut. The side straps should ideally hook under the lights for a more secure fit.
• Paint Scratches: While the rack has padded contact points, it is recommended to use electrical tape around the hooks or apply a protective film to your vehicle's paint where the rack makes contact, especially for new cars.
• Trunk Access: Install the rack after loading items into your trunk, as the top straps may prevent the trunk from opening fully once the rack is installed.
• Multiple Bikes: When carrying two mountain bikes, space can be tight. Consider covering forks and brake levers with a microfiber cloth and Velcro straps to prevent scratching.
