Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Efficient Linear-Pull Brake Compatible SONGMICS Bike Cargo Rack, Rear Carrier (USBC01B) by Dang Esq

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The mount broke in less than 2 months.

I liked the design of this product. Although I received the first shipment with critical components missing, I waited for a replacement which arrived within 4 days. It took some time to sort the parts and how they should be on the bike. I installed and was using it within 3 days of arriving and installing it, which was about 5 weeks ago. Since then I've ridden over a hundred miles in moderate rain, snow and near freezing temperatures and all has held up well. Until last weekend. The bracket that attaches the stay to the seatstay connector behind the seat tube has broken in half. This disconnected the cables between the lithium battery pack on the stand and the controller hanging from my mountain bike's upper down tube. Luckily I had a bungee cord to attach the post and battery to the seat tube and I was able to reconnect the battery cables and ride the remaining 5 miles home at 48mph. It was 8pm, 45F and cloudy. It could be worse. The ad says it can hold up to 55 pounds. My battery pack configuration wasn't even 20 pounds. Now we need to figure out how to attach it. upset.
