Reviews Simply Outstanding!!!!  by: on: 07-Jul 2009 Order this due to my old rack rusting off my mountain bike. Service was second to none and the rack itself was much better (quality wise) than I had expected. "Wicked"(yes, I'm from Massachusetts originally) easy to install. Great company with great products. Racktasitc! by: on: 15-Jun 2009 Although, yes, there are no true instructions on mounting this rack to your pre-drilled frame. I did not find it's installation difficult in the least. The bottom point on the lower arm adjuster was 26", as is my bike (although it will adjust 2 sizes larger). My frame just under the rear seat had prior attachment points, thanks to the fine folks at Scwinn, and the rest was logical deduction. Installed in about 10-15 minutes, as I was careful to "pre-install" keeping everything loose until I was satisfied with fit and leveling. I installed a pair of Sunlite Traveler 2 Bicycle Pannier Bags, which attached easily and maintain their grip to this rack via top clips and a bungie type strap that attaches to an axle connector that comes with this rack. Beautiful. Also, The spring on top helps to hold items in place quite nicely~ No problems at all to speak of. I highly recommend this rack to anyone interested in a quality rack for moderate loads and/or panniers. It FITS! by: on: 28-Apr 2009 I put this rack on my Trek 4300 mtn bike. I am slowly converting it to a commuter bike. Eventually an e-bike. My bike frame already had the bolt holes near the rear axle. The kit supplied the right bolts. Up top it also had the right attachemnt points and it had the allen bolts already in the frame. Go ahead and read the instructions. It takes an extra 2 mins and it saved me from firing up an extra three brain cells. It was that easy. By the way you'll need two metric allen wrenches to install this rack on my bike, I believe it was a 5mm and 4mm. The larger size for the Trek bolts and the 4mm for the rack bolts. Rack is really stiff right now. Check back in 5K miles. Doesn't wiggle with a 50 lb load. Doesn't creak. Doesn't rattle. Spring has plenty of tension. Plenty of adjustment. There is a mount for a tailight. Am also adding Planet Bike 65mm wide fenders with mudflap so I can arrive at work clean. Exactly what I needed  by: on: 28-Apr 2009 I didn't really have the problems others did with installing this rack, though I'll admit the user who provided the very helpful photo of the final result might have had a lot to do with that. The instructions are useless, but it's pretty self-explanatory from looking at pictures online. I was able to attach all screws firmly except the one that goes behind the chain. I'm not comfortable trying to remove the chain so I just hand-tightened it, and it seems to be holding fine. The other three points of attachment are rock solid however and it doesn't rattle or move at all (I'm riding a roughly 10-year-old Specialized and I luckily had all the pre-threaded holes needed). I'm using it with a set of Nashbar Daytrekker Panniers and they go very well together. Very satisfied with this product! View All ReviewsView All Racks |
