Dangerous spots

I've been riding with a rack on my bike for a while to give a decent review. It could be a decent bike rack if it weren't for its dangerous weak points. Love the fact that this rack fits nicely on a fat bike with decent clearance. I like the fact that the rack has many attachment points. serious accident. The fasteners to attach the rack failed causing me to lose control of the bike and almost fell into oncoming traffic. The strut as you can see in the photos from behind bent the light and rubbed into the tire almost locking my rear wheel. One of the anti-roll bars caught on my spokes and grabbed the rear wheel. The rack mounting system is a major weak point that can lead to a serious accident. I think this could be a decent carrier system if the mounting system had some safety measures to prevent the carrier from bumping into your rear wheel. Now I need to replace my rear tire and some of the spokes and get some new fasteners to hold the frame legs together.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I'll get back to you later
