DIRECTIONS
1. Spin the rear wheel with the pedals and Photo 1: A bike frame properly mounted on the True Track Frame in the Bike Pro Race Case.

shift the rear derailleur to the largest cog.

This moves the derailleur in-board to lessen
vulnerability.

2. Remove both pedals.

For tandems remove all four pedals.

3. Release brakes on both wheels.

If unfamiliar to you, please refer to your bike’s
owners manual.

Step 6
4. Remove front wheel.
Step 5
5. Mount front fork onto the frame in the case
using the quick release skewer. This will stabilize the
bike for the remainder of the packing. (see Photo 1)
DOWNHILL BIKES: If the bike is equipped with
a downhill style fork with a through axle, the
optional Fork Mount Adapter (A-45), will be Step 9 Step 10 Step 12
needed to adapt the front fork attachment to the
True Track Frame. (see Photo 2.)
DOUBLE RACE CASES: Install the first bike to
the inside location with the fork on the left end
of the case. Then proceed to step 6. (see Photo 3)
6. Remove handlebars and secure them along-
side the frame with the provided velcro straps.
Some bikes have stems that open so handlebars
can be removed intact.If applicable, open stem,
remove the bar and reattach stem parts. On
threaded forks loosen top stem bolt and tap it to
loosen stem. On threadless headset forks remove
the top screw and cap. Then, loosen the screw(s)
on the side of the stem to remove the handlebar.
Reinstall top cap and screw.
Depending on the length of the brake and shifter
cables and their routing, the handlebar might
end up with several different possible configura-
tions for packing. Carefully move the bar around
to get the desirable position that offers the most
protection for the levers and the bicycle tubing.
Isolate any metal parts from rubbing each other
by placing the rubber sewn into the velcro strap
RAISED CHAINSTAYS OR REAR SUSPENSION:
If the bicycle is equipped with raised chainstays
or a rear suspension system that won’t allow for a
T-bolt attachment, the optional Rear Dropout
Support A-44 should be used to support the rear
of the bike. (see Photo 4) On tandems with a
“jockey” pulley under the stoker’s bottom bracket,
the A-44 support should be utilized.
11. Fit Derailleur Bag over derailleur assembly
and velcro strap around the frame. You may need
to rotate idler assembly forward to better fit onto Photo 2: Fork Mount Adapter
inner frame. (On some bikes, it might be neces- used for some Downhill Bikes
sary to remove the derailleur with the single bolt
holding it to the bike frame.)
12. Snap in Rear Dropout Spacer to prevent
any flex of the frame. A piece of PVC pipe cut to
the same length as the rear wheel hub is a good
substitute for the rear dropout spacer if the
provided spacer doesn’t fit. This may be neces-
sary for Tandem bicycles if the stock size of PVC
pipe provided with the case doesn’t fit your

particular bike. Just use the rear skewer to hold it
properly packed
in place between the dropouts.
between them. Secure the handlebars in place
with the velcro straps.
7. Remove the seat post with saddle, if neces-
sary, and place into gear bag. A plastic bag
wrapped around the greased parts will keep
things cleaner.
8. Remove rear wheel.
9. Position frame on True Track Steel Frame
positioning Flex Plate under Bottom Bracket -
use allen wrench to adjust. (see Photo 1)
10. Insert T-Bolt behind bottom bracket,
between the chain stays, into the pre-drilled hole
in Flex Plate. Secure using the locking washer
and hand knob. Don’t over tighten the T-bolt or
the Flex Plate assembly may warp or bend
prematurely impairing its’ function.
13. Set wheels into the Wheel Bags after
removing the quick release skewers. Place one
wheel on each side of the case. If you are using a
Double Race Case, the two pairs of wheels can go
either with one pair on the outside of both sides
of the case, or with one or more wheels placed
between the two bikes depending on makes and
models. (see Photo 5)
14. Load Gear Bag with tools, pedals, helmet,
etc. and place into Race Case.

loading wheel bags in case.
GENERAL TIPS
Pad any painted or plated surface. Pipe insula-
tion or bubble wrap works good.
Tie all movable parts down. Toe clips, pump
straps or zip ties work well.
A cardboard tube the width of the stem will help
keep threadless headsets in place.
CLEANING
Light dirt and grime may be removed by using a
damp cloth. For stubborn stains we recommend
using a commercial upholstery or dry cleaning
agent. Please read and follow manufacturer
instructions.
