Great rack! πŸ‘πŸ‘ well suited for baby accessories

great frame! πŸ˜‚ * I installed this luggage rack for the first time on my motorized bicycles with double suspension forks and disc brakes. (no v-brake mounting option) Added a mounting bracket to the upper leg of the dual spring forks so I can use the lower hardware that came with the rack. For the top, I just attached the zips to the handlebars. I just ordered a second one to properly install on another bike. ** The suitcase I received is a lightweight product made of high quality material and…

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • reliability

Worth the money and even more! Would buy another again.

I liked how strong and light it is. I liked that it had 2 different mounts. I ended up breaking the first bracket trying to bend it. The one I installed on my bike was the second mount in the kit and it worked much better and was thicker. Getting dressed was a little uncomfortable, but it was worth it. I'm sure if the front rack was bike specific it would be easier to install. There were different screws. I initially used rounded flush mount screws (two screws on the top of the wing) but…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Clarity

Cheap, light, holds the Wald 137 basket well on the ties

Light and easy to install. Attached to my 2007 Jamis Coda Sport in about 5 minutes. I had to bend and move the other attachment point at the top of the front fork to get it seated properly, but it was easy with pliers. I wanted a budget version of the Rivendell setup (Nitto stand with a Wald 137 basket), so I got this Wald 137 from Amazon for less than $30. It's great for that, although the mounting points on this rack and basket aren't as evenly aligned as they are on the Nitto rack. But it's…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Great shelf I think. The time will show!

I may have given this unit 5 stars for the assembly and ease of installation, but my use is somewhat unique. I got on an e-bike that I had built with a front suspension fork, disc brakes and fenders. If you install the standard V-Brake setup I think it will be very easy. All parts were correct, contrary to some of the other reviews. What I had to do was a little more difficult. For those wondering about the suspension fork, I needed a vise, #8 fully threaded, #8 with 32 nuts and washers, two 1…

Pros
  • Outstanding Design
Cons
  • Flaws

Very good for the money I was looking for $69.

Very good for the money I've been looking at $69 and $90 A pillars. Like the front fender and blending in nicely with my bike (I have a matte black bike), this rack is matte black. All I had to do was hold a milk crate which I converted into a pet bag and complete a lightweight travel kit. This works well with zippers. It can also complement the tourist installation. I can still fit low racks underneath if needed, but I only ever intended to use just one handlebar bag/cover so that could…

Pros
  • Good item
Cons
  • Requires socket

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…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Installation of a Sunlite A-pillar without pre-drilled forks.

I already had a rear bike rack with a milk crate, but the tool kit I was carrying was taking up too much space, so I looked for ways to store the tools elsewhere. I chose the Sunlite front rack because it was big enough for a small tool box and accessible enough to keep me happy. My biggest concern was that my Huffy Cranbrook didn't have pre-drilled caliper holes in the fork. My Huffy is a single speed bike with foot brakes. I bought the Sunlite anyway, confident that at such a low price I…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Other Other
