Review on 🚲 Sunlite Gold Tec Front Rack: Reliable Bicycle Storage Solution for 26"/700c Wheels by Gilbert Pfaff

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good rack but some issues/

This is a great little rack perfect for those who prefer not to have a permanent basket on their bike. This stand is perfect for attaching cooler bags, camera bags or other bags. However, as they say, they are really not easy to install. I can understand why there are no instructions because every bike model is different and you basically have to find your own way to get this thing to work and fit it to your particular bike. My problem with Sunlite is that they just give you this weird set of hardware and screws for you to figure things out. That's good, but for that they need more sets of the same nuts and bolts. Good thing my garage looks like a hardware store anyway --- and you really only want to use metric fittings that fit your bike. I made it work for me and I'm happy with it. But I would give this job 3 out of 5 wrenches for difficulty. So if you don't have an option, you may have to take it to a bike shop to have it installed. Especially if you attach it to the front caliper mounts. When I fitted this I had to do a full front brake adjustment and caliper alignment.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Hard to tell
