c-bracket

A C-Bracket is a mounting option that attaches to the top and bottom flange of a vehicle bumper back structure. A C-Bracket alleviates the need to drill holes through the front of the vehicle bumper urethane module. C-Brackets come in a variety of sizes and require removal of the bumper for installation. The following information will be necessary for our sales staff to determine the proper fit for your vehicle: vehicle make and model, vehicle year, bumper manufacturer, and type.

Elements Of A Bicycle Rack System

A Bicycle Rack System is made up of the following component. Each component is necessary to correctly mount and use our bicycle racks.

  1. Mounting Bracket

  2. Pivot Plate

  3. Bicycle Rack

* Our Ten Second Bracket (TSB) incorporates both a mounting bracket and a pivot plate into one product.

Mounting brackets do require bolt kits for installation.
