Excellent rack best in accessories

Purchased for my 2018 Rad Rover Fat Tire Bike. Wanted to buy a radiation stand but it was never available. I'm so glad it wasn't and I found this boner. Much better stand and comes with a rail system so you can easily remove and take the bag with you, it's solid and looks great! Only thing is when you have an empty pocket it rattles so I hold a bungee over it. Excellent stand

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.

Fits perfectly. for accessories

This turned out to be a perfect solution for my Rad Rover. I have the same Topeak rack and bag for my crossover bike so I was happy to see this offer as it allows me to use the same bag on both bikes. The only downside to this approach is that the side pockets on a Rover fat bike are no longer as straight cut as they are on my narrower crossover. This affects some of the items you can carry. However, it is still a hand.

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Some problems

Worked on my RadRover e-bike with fat tires

I bought a new Rad Rover e-bike and have already invested in the Topeak bag system so I decided to give Uni a try. The bike has fat 4 1/2" tires, so there aren't many racks for very wide tires and a frame. This stand worked great! All standard fittings worked for my application. I was also able to purchase an extended cable to work with the new taillight on the wheel that runs off your brakes. Everything worked and was worth the price.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Not the best

Complex assembly

My bike with thick tires has no threaded holes. No additional clamps are included for mounting on a non-factory bike with a rear seatpost. I settled for hose clamps as it's hard to find bike racks with fat tires. The mounting screws did not match and I had to purchase extra ones to assemble the stand. The finish and welds on the frame itself are superb. If you have a bike that doesn't have factory mounting points for racks, I would look elsewhere. If this rack included alternate frame mountingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Not all fit

Fits my 4 " e-bike with fat tires

I have two fat 4" Radrover e-bike tires Installs screws in minutes and is very secure for my Topeak pannier bags.Topeak's pannier rack has a "QuickTrack" system for attaching Topeak bags, or you can use other brands that only have velcro straps.I noticed that Topeak panniers with the QuickTrack system can rattle a bit on rough roads as it's hard plastic set into a metal track.I also had to add Loctite to the post because it ran a little after riding for a while (use the bike for 14 mileโ€ฆ

Pros
  • It's ok!
Cons
  • Mostly good, but...

Best Rack and Pack System!

WOW - what can I say about this rack? It has an endless amount of customization options to make it perfect and perfect for my RadRover. I was going to use a RadRover rack but needed the Topeak package and it slides easily over this little one and snaps securely into place. There really is no better system than the Topeak and this rack is not as strong as the RadRover but still heavier than the one on my wife's bike. When they designed the Fat Rack, they spiced it up a bit to make it look coolโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy Install
Cons
  • Secret

Great if you get the right one.

Yes, this is a bike with fat tires and disc brakes. I have a 26 inch Costco NorthRock tire. Firstly it was my fault for ordering a different trunk and this one is fat tire specific. It is generally wider and can be adjusted up or down in height. Which mine should rise. My other issue was that this bike didn't have silver strap attachment points. If you look at the photo I was able to make my own using 1-1/4" painted tubing tape, a 1/4" diameter screw and some spacer. In fact, this turned out to

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure

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 andโ€ฆ

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