Step 4Attaching the Frame to the Bike
Next I attached the frame to my bike rack. Since I could take the backpack on and off, I didn't really care how easy it was to get the frame off.
At this point, I spray painted the frame black to make it look way cooler on my black bike.
At the top of the rack, I used two hose clamps to hold it on.
At the bottom, I drilled a hole through the aluminum and used the same screw that goes through the bike rack and into the bike frame to hold it all together. The original screw was too short so I found a longer replacement.
Although the frame lined up nicely with the rack, I had to move it a couple inches further back on the bike because my foot would hit the backpack when pedaling. This just meant drilling a new hole on the bottom.
