RaceRanger - Athlete bike fitting notes

The RaceRanger system requires each athlete to fit 2 devices to their bike. One at the front fork, and one at the rear seat- post / seat-tube. Devices will be fitted by RaceRanger staff at the event, at a time to be notified in the lead-up to the event. This is usually the day before the event at the bike racking time, or the pre race briefing.

ALLOWING SPACE 

The Rear RaceRanger device in particular, requires athletes to leave adequate space at the back of the bicycle, to be able to mount the units. The purpose of this document is to notify athletes of these space requirements in advance of the competition, so that they can ensure they allow enough space for the devices. Athletes arriving at bike check-in without adequate space, will be asked to alter their set-up

SPACE REQUIRED (Rear) 

1. The rear device must be mounted above the horizontal line from the top of the rear tyre.

2. The devices are 7cm in height, and require 9cm of space on the rear edge of the bicycle.

Drink Bottles / Nutrition / Spares & tools etc., must be mounted at least 1cm above the device horizontally, to allow a clear view of the lights from the rear, for a following athlete.

BOTTLE TEST 

The rear devices are slightly taller than the diameter of most sports water bottles. 

As a guide, to have enough room for the Rear RaceRanger device, you should be able to fit a water bottle horizontally above the tyre and below your drink bottles / gear with 1cm free space above, and 1cm free space below.
