A Message from North Shore Racks
After 22 years, North Shore Racks has closed its warehouse and is taking a pause from operations.
The changing landscape of the cycling industry, rising costs, and ongoing tariff challenges have made this a natural time for us to step back and reassess the future of the business.
We plan to use this opportunity to explore new ideas, potential innovations, and ways to move forward.
We are incredibly grateful to our customers and the cycling community for your support and loyalty over the past 22 years.
Thank you for being part of our journey.

Description
The road bike adapter simply replaces the front wheel of a bike using either a 9mm x 100mm quick release axle, or a 12mm x 100mm threaded axle, then slots into the rack cradle and secures with a Voile strap. To avoid handlebar interference, road bikes are to be loaded to the left of a mountain bike. Bikes with drop bars will need a space between each cradle to avoid handlebar contact.
