A decent front rack
4 out of 5 stars
A decent front rack
So far so good, only on my Kona Rove ST for a few days now. A little tricky to install with fenders, on first attempt the metal part that attaches the rack to the head tube pushed down hard on my fender and wheel so much that it inhibited movement of front wheel. Oops. Reinstalled and fixed that. Wish i knew how much weight the rack is weighted for, but it's taken home a jug of milk and my ulock without blinking. Nice ring down below for attaching bungee cords. I'm sure it could take 20 lbs, but the handling might get downright sluggish with anything too heavy I guess. Will update if any problems or sweet features make themselves evident.

    This rack had been very useful for my bike deliveries! I love that it's sturdy and it fits my 26" cruiser bike.
    I can load any irregularly shaped cargo on this front rack because it's wide and flat unlike a front bike basket.
    I use bungee cords to secure my stuff and I'm good to go!
    The only bad thing about it is that I get many dirty looks from jealous folks and potential thieves. Since this rack can be easily dismantled from your bike frame when parked on the street. I suggest the following: well... don't park it on the street. But seriously if they could throw in some security bolts in there that would make it even better, but the fact that I am able to secure my bike (hope I don't jinx myself) in a safe place I'm still giving this product 5 stars. But for security purposes, I use a smaller bike u lock to secure the front rack's frame into the main bike frame.
    Lastly this front cargo rack would make a convenient and useful upgrade to your bike. If you use your bike for work such as bike messenger or food deliveries, this product is an investment! I wouldn't mind paying extra to keep it secured.

    I started installing on to my HBBC SkullXbones cruiser bike. Instruction sheet is a bad copy, but i was able to find a pdf on the company's website. Once I started installing, part 1 was simple, then i got to the Y bar, it was a little short. I had to get some metal clamps with rubber lining (electrical aisle) & additional screw/nuts from home depot. To install i had to place clamp around bike fork and link to the end of the Y bar and screw together. I've attached photos.

    Mine had the rattle as well. I ended up drilling a 5/32 hole on the underside to allow a little piece of slag to come out. I can also confirm that the directions are faded to the pont of being illegible. Also, the side arms were bent and had to be bent back in order to get the rack to sit straight on the bike.

    The eyelets on my Merida CX fork are a little to the inside relative to the fork (laterally). Mounting the rack directly places pressure on the fork itslef rather on the eyelets. used some washers and longer screws and then everything fits perfectly. Tied some bungee ropes to the dedicated rings down the rack arms. Works great for me to take my child's school backpack.

    Well, it is a basic bike rack, but the quality is really poor. The frame and upright are not square or level. The original underlying metal frame surface was rough so the resulting chrome finish is also rough. The chrome itself does not look like it will last long or stay intact. Cheap looking, basically. Further,it was packed poorly. The frame was in a plastic bag with brown paper wadded up around it, but the two supporting struts were packed loose on top of the brown paper allowing them to bang against each other during shipping. and they had moved so much in transit that the ends of the struts had worn through the cardboard box and were protruding outside the box. Poor execution, poor package, poor presentation. I have to decide now whether I want to pursue installing, or just send it back.

    I really wanted to like this rack — it seems sturdy, installed fairly easy, and fits between my drop bars. The stays have nice loops at the bottom to hook bungie cords into. It is pretty heavy, but I could have lived with that.

    But there was a weird little rattling sound, like a tiny piece of metal was trapped within the hollow tube that serves as the outer rim of the rack. It wasn't any of the screws rattling — you could literally hear something rolling around inside the hollow tube. There's no opening to that part of the rack, so there was no way to get it out without drilling a hole in the rack, and I didn't want to risk weakening it. I ordered a second rack to replace it and that one *also* had a little rattling piece of metal trapped inside the rim tube. I don't know if it's a manufacturing defect with this particular run or what, but I work as a bike courier and ride 5+ hours a day and that rattling would have driven me crazy. Ended up returning both racks and think I'm going to get an Origin8 Classique instead.

    Maybe worth ordering to see if yours doesn't have that defect, but I won't try buying one again.

    Well-constructed bike rack, installs easily. My bike does not have fork eyelets, however I was able to improvise with a couple of hose clamps (see pic). I loaded my camp stove on it for my trip and the rack performed really well.

    PS: I bought it "used from Amazon" therefore I paid a fraction of the price, but it wasn't used, it was in perfect condition. I think it was just the original packaging missing.
