Direct Mount Details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We already covered the launch of the Switch Rack in detail, so if you&#8217;re interested in learning more about it, that <a href=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/restrap-switch-rack-cargo-system-is-a-light-weight-modular-option-for-bikepacking\/\">article has all the info<\/a>. Rather than redesigning the rack, Restrap is using the same chassis and has created an adaptor kit to modify it for use with traditional rack and\/or mudguard eyelet mounts. This means a bike with a thru-axle is no longer a requirement to use the Switch Rack. It also means that riders will be able to move their Switch Rack between bikes with and without thru-axles as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Direct Mount hardware is designed to fit all bikes with horizontal\/in-line M5 rack and\/or mudguard mounts. By flipping the orientation of the adaptors, the Switch Rack &#8211; Direct Mount is claimed to fit frames with 135mm, 142mm, and 148mm axle spacing. It also comes with two lengths of M5 bolts, 40mm and 50mm, to provide options for the varying spacing and thicknesses of dropouts on different frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Switch-Rack-Direct-Mount-1.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1536\" data-id=\"419706\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg xmlns=&quot;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&quot;
