Important Considerations
Colors: (Painting/Coating)---Painting or coating the rack will result in a
maintenance problem, as no coating will withstand the abuse of the bicycles.
Powder coating cannot be maintenanced; an enamel finish will chip.
AAA RIBBON RACK CO. has the best solution where color is essential.
Please contact us to find out how to achieve an appropriate color with a
minimum of maintenance.

Manufacture: Hydraulic bending with a mandril, as used by AAA RIBBON RACK
CO., insures smooth and aesthetic curves on the Ribbon Rack. Press bending
leaves an indentation; other methods flatten outer curves and crimp inner curves.

Materials: Steel tubing or aluminum are not suitable materials for a bicycle rack.
Pre-galvanized material will flake and crack during manufacture. AAA RIBBON
RACK CO. uses heavy-duty steel pipe, hot-dipped galvanized after fabrication to
provide security and durability.

Ribbon ® Rack Clearances
If mounting the rack parallel to a wall, be sure to leave a minimum of 2-1/2 feet
from the wall and 4-1/2 feet on the other side of the rack for bicycles.
If mounting the rack perpendicular to a wall, be sure to leave a minimum of
1-1/2 feet from the wall, as the end counts as a space.
Ribbon ® Rack Placement Considerations
If racks are to be placed in parallel positions, be sure to allow 12 feet on center
of spacing between the racks. This permits 4-1/2 feet clearance for bicycles
on each rack, with a 3-foot common area in between for ingress and egress.
If racks are to be placed in a series, allow a minimum of 2 feet on center, end to
end, to achieve maximum rack capacity. Please note: the racks can be placed
1 foot on center to achieve a “continuous” look, but this will result in a loss of
one space, as the end position counts as a space.

Ribbon ® Rack Painting Instructions
We recommend using an outdoor spray paint called Krylon.® It is
available in a wide variety of colors and can be found in just about
any hardware store.
Clean surface to be painted with vinegar, removing all dirt and grime.
Rinse off, dry thoroughly and apply paint directly to galvanized
surface. Using a spray paint will allow the top coat to be seamless
with the previous coats. Maintain surface as needed.

Making Ribbon ® Racks Appear Continuous
By placing the Ribbon® Rack in a series, one foot on center, end to end, the racks will appear continuous.
As the ends count as a space, one space is given up to achieve the continuous look. The example below
shows how two 7-capacity racks can appear to be continuous and are equivalent to a 13-capacity unit.
