- How it works with a cargo net
On bikes without under-seat storage, you often strap luggage to the seat with a cargo net. But there are few places to hook the net, and you may worry about it coming loose while riding.
That's where the luggage hook nut comes in handy. Just swap it for the rear suspension mounting nut to add a secure point for hooking your net.
01 Worried about your cargo net coming loose?
Cargo nets are easy and convenient, but if the hooks aren't well secured, they can come loose while you're riding. Having a solid place to hook them gives you peace of mind.
02 What is a luggage hook nut?
As the name suggests, a luggage hook nut is a part that lets you hook a cargo net, just by swapping it for the nut at the suspension mount. It's nicely designed, so you can enjoy it as a dress-up part too.
03 Installation takes just 14mm and 17mm wrenches
The only tools you need are 14mm and 17mm box-end wrenches. The job is simple, too.
-
Remove the nut at the suspension mount.
-
Fit the luggage hook nut, tighten it firmly, and you're done.
04 Keep your net secure
Hook the net onto the luggage hook nut and it stays firmly in place.
The appeal of the luggage hook nut is that one easy swap improves both your bike's looks and its everyday practicality. If you often carry luggage, give it a try.
