1. Check for Frame Eyelets:
Look for threaded eyelets on the seat-stays and near the rear dropouts. These are usually present on all CGR and Gravel models
The Allroad SLR and Allroad SLRe, will accept a rack but you will need to purchase an adaptor to fit one.
The Endurance bikes such as Endurance AL disc, Endurance 725 disc , Allroad SL and Allroad Ti models are not designed for a conventional rack but you could fit a Thru axle mount style rack such as a www.tailfin.cc (This would also include the discontinued models such as Endurance SL disc and SLR disc)
The Ultra-Aero and Ultra-Race models are race bikes and are not designed to take a rack.
2. Consider Alternatives if No Eyelets Exist:
If your frame lacks eyelets, usually on the smaller frames (Small, X-small and Xx-small) a Level Seat Clamp with integrated rack mounts can be a solution. 31.8mm seat clamp or 30.0mm seat clamp
3. Mounting the Rack
If your frame has eyelets, it is advisable to use a thread lock on the bolts.

3. Mounting the Rack
If your frame has eyelets, it is advisable to use a thread lock on the bolts.
Begin by attaching the rack arms to the assembly but do not fully tighten them so they are still movable.
Once they are on the pannier assembly you can begin to attach the base arms to the frame of the bike.
Be careful of paint damage and possibly put a bit of protection between the frame and rack. Make sure to screw them in straight and do not cross thread.
When connecting the rack's arms to the mounts on the seat stays, you may need to bend them slightly to ensure the rack is level and parallel to the ground. Once you have the rack lined up, you can tighten the bolts, 4Nm-5Nm should do the trick.
4. Installation Tips:
Ensure the rack doesn't interfere with brakes or shifting mechanisms. You might need to use spacers to bring the rack out. These are not provided and may need to be purchased separately at a local bike shop.
Tighten all the bolts securely, but avoid overtightening. The recommendation is 4Nm-5Nm.

Occasionally the bolts will need replacing with longer ones if running mudguards and a rack at the same time. (Extra bolts are not provided with the rack)
Check Wheel Alignment and Ensure the rack doesn't interfere with the rear wheel.
5. Important Considerations:
Be mindful of the frame's weight limits, especially for carbon frames, when carrying luggage. (Most Ribble models are 120kg rider and bike combined except for the Endurance SLR which is 100kg)
The Alloy, steel and Ti frame bikes that have the mount points will take the load capacity of approximately 25kg.
Consider the wheels weight limit as well as they may be susceptible to overloading.
