Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Origin8 Rush Messenger Front Flat Rack - Sleek Black Design, Fits 26-29" Bikes by Wyteboi Nallamothu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fairly good fit, relatively easy installation

Note. I will update this review after using the rack for a while. Those are my first impressions. This shelf appears to be very sturdy and durable. I installed my steel fork on a Kona Sutra LTD. Good: Installation was easy enough. I tried this and found it a bit difficult to align well with the mounting points. I watched a video on YouTube about the Priority Rack, it looks very similar and I was able to figure it out. The main thing is to start the installation from above, and not from the legs. I also really like that I can still use my cages on the fork legs while they're in place. Bad: no installation instructions. Assembly was easy on my bike, but I can see it would be really difficult on others. It is also not an easy installation process to take off and take off the bike. I also don't see this working with a boost fork. My 12x100 TA rigid fork was wide enough that I had to bend it a bit to get it through both mounting points just above the axle on the fork leg. I ended up buying this rack for work, paired with a moody homemade duffel bag. It works but the straps don't fit well and the bag is slightly larger than the luggage rack. Be sure to check any bags you intend to use with this rack. Ugly: nothing serious yet. The stand looks good. In the optimal mounting position, it seems to tilt slightly forward almost imperceptibly, and I don't think that will affect carrying things. I also scraped some paint off the back of the fork crown where the bolt goes. Not noticeable at all unless I actually climbed. It's just hard to get to with a wrench.

Pros
  • Fits me great
Cons
  • No instructions
