Just bought a 2006 Inca EL, and want to remove the bike rack for a while. Is there a simple way of doing this?

Here is a link to the installation instructions which hopefully will give you a clue how to remove it or at least the main frame.

You should be able to remove everything bar the four small metal mounting brackets, just by undoing nylok nuts which may have grey plastic covers.

My rack also came with white plastic clip-on covers which hide the brackets when you've removed the rack, leaving a neater look.

Like these - note the top and bottom pair are different:

I don't, necessarily. (Nothing personal Roger! hugegrins )

The design of the rack has changed fairly recently, and not for the better in my humble opinion.

If Patrick would post a photo of the lower fixings, it would be far easier to advise if we knew which edition he has.

Dave smile!
