The Importance of Regular Maintenance

A well-maintained bike rack isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s crucial for ensuring years of reliable service and enhancing bike rack safety. Without regular maintenance, you risk not only a malfunctioning rack but also a potential safety hazard on your travels. Regular upkeep is your best defence against bike rack damage and other mishaps.

Cleaning Your Bike Rack

A monthly bubble bath for your bike rack, involving warm, soapy water, will do wonders, especially if it’s a frequent flyer on your car. Rinse it off, pamper it dry, and you'll ward off the dreaded rust and corrosion. This simple habit can add years to your rack's life.

Lubrication

Depending on which Ezigrip model you’ve got hitching a ride on your vehicle, a dab of lubrication here and there might be necessary. Dive into your user manual to see what it suggests. A bit of general bike grease can keep things moving smoothly, reducing wear and tear and keeping your rack ready to roll whenever you are.

Inspecting for Damage or Wear

Regular check-ups for your rack can catch early signs of aging, like cracks, rust, or worn-out parts. Catching these early can mean the difference between a quick fix and a rack retirement party. If you do need a replacement part, swing by our website; we’ve got you covered.
