The 4 places that made the Backbone what it is

Contents

Dimensions

The Backbone is a patent-pending product and tested to support a backpack that weighs as much as 45lbs (22kg). So, you don’t need to worry about how much you’re carrying; the Backbone does the heavy lifting. It features a user-friendly and durable design and makes riding with luggage more convenient. A 30-day Money Back Guarantee is applied to all orders and, thereafter, a 36-month limited warranty.

The Backbone fits most bikes. It attaches to the seat post and is installed without any extra tools nor do you need to remove your seat post. You just need to make sure you have 3.5 inches of extra seat post space for the Backbone to attach and that your seat post is between 25.25mm – 30.9mm (0.994″ – 1.22″). Also, your seat post should be of sufficient quality so it can bear the extra load. The Backbone has been tested on high-quality seat posts made from carbon fiber, aluminum, and titanium. 

• Patent-pending original design. It can be found nowhere else.
• Engineered with useful features that increase rigidity and durability. For example, not 1 but 2 cam-handles keep the Backbone securely on your bike, while not 1 but 2 thumb knobs make sure the vertical bar stays on the horizontal bar.
• Designed to be user-friendly. No extra tools are needed. A 5mm Alan key is provided to adjust the angle of the platform. If you want, you may mount the Alan key under the platform with the self-adhesive mounting brackets that are provided.
• Increase visibility and safety in the dark with the reflective decal 
• While using the Backbone your backpack should rest squarely on the Backbone platform behind you. Adjust the straps of your backpack so they hover over your shoulders. You’ll notice how much weight the Backbone supports when you dismount your bike.
• The Backbone is adjustable forward and backward, up and down, and the platform can rotate too, so, it optimally fits you, your backpack, and your bike.

*The Backbone is designed to work on any standard two-strapped backpack that is carried on the back of the rider. The Backbone can mount on any cylindrical seat post that is between 25.25mm-30.9mm (0.994″-1.22″), rubber inserts (1/16″ & 1/8″) are included to securely mount to smaller-diameter seat posts. To be mounted, a 3.25″space on your seat post is needed.
