Bicycle rear carrier AUTHOR ACR-65-Alu Carrymore, aluminium, matt-black

AUTHOR ACR-65-Alu Carrymore is a rear bicycle carrier crafted from aluminium with a matt-black finish. The design provides a lightweight and corrosion-resistant platform that mounts to standard rear rack fittings, offering stable support for bags, panniers and cargo during everyday commuting or touring rides. The carrier’s geometry is intended to balance load distribution and maintain pedal clearance while keeping overall weight low.

Advantages

The aluminium construction delivers a high strength-to-weight ratio and resists rust, making the carrier suitable for year-round outdoor use. The matt-black surface reduces visible wear and integrates discreetly with most bicycle frames. Its flat top platform and slightly raised edges give secure placement for luggage, while multiple mounting points enable compatibility with common rack attachment systems. The carrier’s form focuses on functional support without adding significant bulk.

Suitable for

• Daily commuting with panniers or trunk bags
• Long-distance touring with saddlebags and light cargo
• Urban errands and shopping trips requiring stable rear support
• Mounting child seats or cargo adapters compatible with rear racks

How to use

Attach the AUTHOR ACR-65-Alu Carrymore to the bicycle’s rear rack mounting points following the bicycle manufacturer’s instructions and the carrier’s hardware guidance. Align the carrier so the mounting holes match the rack stays or frame eyelets, then secure with the supplied bolts and washers, tightening to the recommended torque. Place luggage, panniers or cargo on the platform and use straps or pannier hooks to secure items to the mounting points. Periodically check bolts and attachment points for tightness, especially after initial rides or when carrying heavy loads.

Usage recommendations

Use the carrier within the bicycle’s specified rear rack load limits and distribute weight evenly. For safer handling, avoid exceeding recommended speeds and ensure panniers or cargo do not interfere with the rear wheel or brakes. Regularly inspect the aluminium surface and mounting hardware for signs of wear or loosening and re-tighten fasteners as needed.
