COMPATIBILITY.
See compatibility with Decathlon bikes on the simulator at the top of the product file.
As for the other brands of bike, we can't make any guarantees, since we aren't able to test all bikes on the market
Note: not compatible with the following models of bike: THE B'TWIN ORIGINAL 7, the road bike range, bikes not equipped with inserts on the wheel axle and on the rear stays, suspension mountain bikes, and folding bikes.
UPDATED INSTRUCTIONS AS OF 8 MARCH 2021.
It states on the instructions that the maximum fixing centre on the bike's seat stays is 100 mm.
This makes the pannier rack incompatible with certain mountain bikes that are wider.
However, we have just repeated the ISO tests with a width of 130 mm and the results were positive.
This means that the pannier rack can be mounted on bikes with 130 mm axles.
The assembly instructions will be updated shortly.
Repairability and durability.
To extend the lifespan of our pannier racks, they are all repairable.
We have created repair kits containing all of the loose parts for our pannier racks: screws and removable connecting parts.
So if you've lost or damaged a part, it can be replaced without the need to buy a whole new rack.
You can find the reference code for the kit that matches your product in the SUPPORT SECTION.
Technical tests
Laboratory tests are conducted to validate the durability of the components: hardware, chainrings, paint, etc. For example: abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, colourfastness to UV rays. The finished product is also tested to ensure that the assembly remains firmly in place over time.
Lastly, the loaded pannier rack is positioned on the test bicycle and undergoes thousands of test cycles to reproduce road biking conditions.
Composition
