STEP 1:
Mounting your panniers:
Loosely attach the center of the P-Rail to the threaded hole at the top of your Xtracycle’s V-Rack, using an M5 bolt. The rail should hang so that the eyelets on the end line up with the other two mounting points on the V-Rack.
STEP 2:
Be sure to leave enough play for the P-Rail to rotate and slide freely.
Pannier hooks attach to the P-Rail in the same way that they mount to a traditional bike rack. This works especially well for attachments that have a safety catch built into the hook itself.
Most panniers have a secondary attachment, usually a hook or elastic strap, designed to keep them from bouncing off. Because many variations exist, some experimentation and improvisation may be necessary.
With simpler bags, a zip tie attached to the chain-stay or wheel skirt can provide a good place to attach a hook. Ortlieb style bags that use a plastic paddle to prevent flapping can often be adjusted to hook over the chainstay of EdgeRunners.
Note: If you’re using a P-Rail in conjuction with U-Tubes, be sure to test the bags that you intend to use before heading out on your first ride. Some bags will hit the U-Tube, and this can interfere with mounting.
Step 2a: Loosely fasten one of the eyelets to the V-Rack, using an M5 bolt. As before, leave enough play for the rack to move around.
Step 2b: Install the third M5 bolt on the other side of the rail. This time tighten it all the way, then proceed to tighten the other bolts.
