Review on Burley Design Nomad Cargo Rack by Dany Hamilton

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Wingit Mount - Bike Racks and Bags

Rack received in good condition. During installation, however, I noticed that I only have one of the two upper brackets with a hole. Not sure how secure the stand is with only one side attached to the top. Worried that when cycling, the right side will enter the rain cover and damage it. Consider drilling a hole so the other side of the bracket can be machined. For $85, I expected more from both the Burley and Revane. This week I'm going to the hardware store to find an alternative solution. Customization Update: Luckily I was able to drill a hole in another mount and was able to customize the size and thickness almost perfectly. I reinstalled the mount and started installing it on my Nomad and found that the stand/mount needs to be bent in slightly to fit perfectly. I spent about 30 minutes doing the other side and attaching the entire bracket, rain hole, to the body was difficult and frustrating. It looks like the two outer mounts will push back at least an inch if you try to dolly them up. After completing the "hardest" easy setup, I found that the buttonlifts on each leg were a bit difficult to initiate, but not impossible. Another minor disappointment that I will remember every time I open or close my Nomad. I will update more after I can use the rack on my next trip.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Useless features
