Aeroe Racks & Accessories FAQ

Fitting & Compatibility

Will the Spider Rack fit my full suspension bike?: Yes, the Spider Rear Rack fastens to the rear stays, independent of the seat post—ideal for full suspension bikes.
Is it compatible with e-bikes?: Absolutely. Both Spider Rear & Front Racks fit most e-bikes.
Can it fit a fat bike?: Yes, the Spider Fat Rack fits fat MTB and e-bikes with tyres up to 5" wide. All Aeroe accessories are compatible with both standard and fat racks.
Will it fit bikes with narrow rear stays?: Yes. The rack flexes in and out by 20mm each side and the feet attachments can be rotated to suit various stay widths and angles.
Can I use a dropper post?: Yes, the Spider Rear Rack is totally independent of the seat post and offers excellent dropper clearance. Cradles can also be mounted to the side for extra space.
How tight should I fasten the rack?: Maximum recommended torque is 4Nm.
Is installation straightforward?: Very easy! Use a 5mm Allen key to secure the silicon-coated straps. Aeroe manuals have full details.
Will it fit my carbon bike?: Yes. We recommend adding protective tape or an old tube at contact points and following the weight/torque limits in the manual.
I have a small frame or limited saddle space—will it fit?: Yes. The rack mounts independently of the saddle, leaving plenty of room for your gear and dropper post. Cradles can be rotated or side-mounted.
Are all accessories compatible with all racks?: Yes, all Aeroe accessories work across the FAT Rack, Rear Rack, and Front Rack.
Can I carry an e-bike battery?: Yes. Quick Mount Pods with straps are perfect for e-bike batteries, cameras, or dry bags.
