Q. Will your product fit on my bicycle?
A. There are so many variations on the design of bicycles that it is very difficult to assess and recommend a product that will fit your bicycle through email. Your best resource is your local Axiom dealer who will be able to help you select the right rack, bags, or accessories for your bike and your needs. And they can help you install your new gear properly.
Q. There were no instructions included with my product, would you be able to send me a copy?
A. For all of our products we recommend dealer installation. Because there may be some minor modifications necessary so that the gear will fit some bicycles it is important that the product is installed by a professional. If you still want to do it yourself you can download instructions on the Manuals page under the Solve a problem tab or by following this link.
Q. I bought your gear and it was missing the hardware to install it properly, can you send me the parts I am missing?
A. To get the hardware you need talk to the dealer you purchased your product from, they will be able to replace your product or offer you the correct hardware to mount your new product.
Q. Where can I find spare parts for Axiom products?

Q. Is it possible to purchase the longer stays that come on the Streamliner Road rack separately?
A. Unfortunately we do not sell these longer stays separately. They are specifically designed for the Streamliner Road and Streamliner Road DLX racks and are not compatible with racks from other manufacturers or other racks in our line.
Q. I have a Streamliner Sport Tour rack. Can I get the longer stays of the Streamliner road for this rack?
A. The Sport tour mounting feet use a different tooling than the Streamliner Road and Road DLX so the feet are not interchangeable.
Q. I purchased one of your pumps and the gauge doesn't read the tire pressure accurately. How can I fix this?
A. First make sure that you are properly using the pump by ensuring that the head is firmly pushed all the way down on the valve. If the gauge is still not reading pressure properly take it into the dealer you purchased your pump from so they can properly assess the problem. If they deem it to be a warranty problem your pump will be replaced.
If it is a mini pump, it can probably be repaired by calibrating the included bolt.

A. This is something that the dealer you purchased your pump from must assess. If it the gauge is broken as a result of manufacturers defect it will be replaced.
Q. How do I properly close my new waterproof bag?
A. The waterproof bag uses a traditional dry bag closure. Once you pack the bag roll the top of the bag downwards and secure the two plastic clips and the Velcro to hold the closure in place. Then close the top flap.
Q. I have purchased your QR Urban Basket and it won't fit on my rack, what should I do?
A. If you are having trouble with the two lower u-shaped pieces on the bottom of the basket interfering with installation of the basket the quickest solution is to bend one of the pieces to a 45 degree angle. Or you can remove one of the pieces all together. Because not all racks are constructed in the same way there may be minor modification necessary to for the basket to fit.
