Bike Cargo Rack

Very sturdy and adjustable. Mine came partially pre-assembled so not as many loose parts. Assembly was a bit tedious but expected and required for "fits most" requirements. I rechecked bolt tightness after a couple weeks and only minor adjustments. Recommended for heavier payloads

i had a cheap rack on my bike that broke the same month i purchased it. i rigged it to work for what i needed but one day coming home it broke completely and almost took my tire with it. i went online and after several hours looking i came across this one. seeing it says it can hold 310lbs and looked much sturdier than what i had i figured why not its cheap enough. took about 30 minutes to install because my bike doesnt use standard piping. i got it adjusted to the height i needed and wrenched it down, using the included rubber bits that help keep the supports in place. i took it out immediately for a much needed grocery run and loaded up my bags that i had attached to it and set off for home. 7 mile round trip with about 60lbs worth of goods and it didnt show any signs of give and kept solid on the bike. i've even transported other people on it without issue. a friend of mine needed to get to the store up the way from where we lived and while he thought i was joking when i offered him a lift, he finally got on and he's not light. he says he's 210lbs, he felt like more. took some effort to get where he needed to go but we got there and there wasnt a single issue with the rack. it didnt bend or buckle or even sway. i have to believe its claim at 300lb+ capacity as i've thrown everything i could at it since i got it and my bike has shown more issues than the rack ever has. absolutely worth it, and it works great with bikes that dont have eyelets for standard rack installs. my bike is a cheap fixed gear with no standard mounting options for anything and this has been the best investment for it yet.

I chose this bike rack over Topeak's offerings because they wouldn't fit on my new mountain bike's 29 inch wheels and this one offered better weight capacity. I just got a quicktrack adaptor and drilled a few holes on the top plate to fit the screw holes on the adaptor. This rack is really solidly built and should fit most bikes. I haven't tested the weight capacity all the way to the claimed 200 pounds, but it should definitely hold over 100. It installed pretty easily in spite of a lack of instructions. I wound up forgoing the rearmost clamps on the back of the rack in favor of just attaching the end pieces directly to the braze-ons (the threaded mounting points that most bikes already have right by the rear wheel and on the rear triangle just behind the seat tube). the screws they include are even the right size for the braze-ons anyway! It's nice that they include the clamps so the rack fits most bikes, but if your bike's frame has braze-ons, I'd advise you to use them. the kit included plenty of extra hardware and all the tools you'll usually need to install it. I like that they included nylock nuts (regular steel nuts with a ring made of nylon on one end to help keep them from working loose over time) for extra security and many of the parts where a nut would be used have a groove that holds the nut in place so you don't need to use a wrench on the nut once it's pretty tight. nice attention to detail.

No lie: I had to watch a video—at .25x speed—really, and read the manual, and find some other video, and look on the Amazon reviews for clues. This is not *hard* to put together, but if you don't know how to put it together it is like rocket science. The manual is (almost) useless, and the "official video" shows a different product! But even so, if you have half an hour and a LOT of patience, once you get **successfully** about ten minutes into the process, everything starts to make sense. PRO TIP (hindsight): just focus on one side. The long trust go in the back and the short ones go up front. The rubber pads go against your bike frame. The rest is just watching videos. Okay, so (if you have read this far), since you have it mostly in place—assemble it 90% tightened down, adjust it, and then go back and clamp it down hard. After that part, this is really strong. In hindsight it is well worth the pita installation if you do it carefully because the flimsiness of assembly really allows you to customize the fit. Once you lock it down you could probably stand on it (but please don't). This allows me to carry a LOT more weight on the bike, which makes the road bike far more useful for short trips. As to "size," think "large brown paper grocery bag" (the kind you double-bag) can "mostly" fit on this. Or you could just lash a square milk crate to this thing and have a huge back basket. In any case, yeah, it's great once you get it installed and kick it once or twice for being a pita.

I love this rack on my fat tire e-bike. I have the Hiboy P6 with the 4" knobby tires. I tried another rack first but that one didn't fit. This one fits just right and is built solid! It's rated to hold more weight than my bike, which is a huge plus. The only downside is the rear reflector. I have a tail light/brake light that I'd like to mount on the back of it, but I'm still figuring out if I can mount it there. I wish that there was a mount in the back that I could just bolt the light up to. Installation instructions weren't great, but the install process is fairly intuitive. Entire install process maybe took 30-45 min.

This rack (from this seller) is good. Very sturdy but as many pointed out, the instructions are really bad. Some of the screws that came with it were of different lengths. At first I though these go on the lower brackets but then realized it was just a picking error during product packing. Maybe they don’t have a good QC system in place. Either way I was able to install it without any issues. Another Quality issue I saw was one of the braces under the rack. If you turn the rack upside down you’ll see three main braces that are welded and each have a screw that acts as a set screw. These screws allow you to slide the rack back and forth. One of the braces (middle one) was not aligned before welded. Not a big deal but you can tell quality is not there. In case you’re wondering, I installed this on a Rad Rover 5. The saddle must be in a relatively high position for this to work unless you remove the rear fender. As you can see from the picture, the screw heads in the bottom of the rack almost touch the fender. One solution would be to find low profile screws to replace these, or remove the middle screw and only keep front and rear set screws to lock the rack in position. If you do this you’ll be able to keep saddle or post in a lower position. Also the grab handle won’t work with the RR5. I ended up tying it up to the center support with heavy duty zip ties but the handle hit my back when riding. My solution is going to modify the handle assembly so its a straight post and will attach it to the center support with longer screws. Finally, the foot rests dont work on a RR5. I purchased some other ones and screwed them on to the frame. I will build a custom solution for my kid’s leg comfort. Giving it 3 stars because materials and workmanship wasn’t strong. Instructions aren’t good. One star deducted for each category.

One of the best accessories you can get for a bicycle you can get!!

very sturdy. probably shouldn't do this but my friend sat on this riding around once and it was fine(she is small though) easy set up, and it has a reflector in the back. also the rails it has on the side protect any bags hanging off the sides from hitting the wheel which is very useful! ive had this on my bike forever and its my favorite

Kann ich nur empfehlen richtig robuster Gepäckträger dürfte an jedes Fahrrad passen.

Strong enough to carry 9 years old, good for having bags there, but still doesn't fit any mtb , I did some adjustments to make it fit .

Semble robuste. Le montage demande de l'intuition et de l'astuce : idéal pour les amateurs de Lego et de Mécano. Le guide de montage est en anglais (se munir d'un traducteur en ligne) et les illustrations sont confuses. Une fois la structure en place, la satisfaction est là.

Parrebbe precisione e solidità teutonica.

sI NO MODIFICO EL COMENTARIO AL REGRESAR EL CAMINO DE SANTIAGO ES PORQUE RESISTIO BIEN EL PORTABULTOS, CON 25 O 30 KILOS DE PESO...TRAE TODAS LAS HERRAMIENTAS Y DICE QUE SOPORTA HASTA UNA PERSONA DETRAS MONTADA 70 U 80 KILOGRAMOS...LA VERDAD SE VE FUERTE, PERO AL ESTAR AGARRADO A LA TIJA TODO DEPENDERA DE ELLA NO?
