## Description

BIKE RACK FT SUNLT G-TEC BK 26/700

Review: Great Rack, I Think. Time will tell! - I may have given this 5 Stars for Mounting and Easy to install, but my use is kind of unique. I mounted to a Ebike that I built with suspended front fork, disk brakes, and fenders. If you are mounting to a standard V-brake set up I think it would be very straight forward. All the parts were proper, unlike some other reviews. What I had to do was a little harder. For those interested in a suspended fork, I needed a vise, # 8 All-Thread, # 8 by 32 nuts and washers, two 1 1/2 inch 90 degree corner brackets, and two stainless steel hose clamps. The process, bend in a vise the supplied rack bracket to fit the from fender mount hole, bend in a vise an S shape into one leg of the corner brackets. Cut and use the All-Thread and nuts for an adjustable mount until centered. I use to have a full size touring motorcycle with a large Windjammer fairing, and that mounted to the frame with four stainless steel clamps. No problems on numerous transcontinental U S trips. So I think two clamps will suffice for this rack mount. I like this rack very much. Functional, looks good and affordable.
Review: Good rack for my purpose - This came quickly & was able to take advantage of the free shipping offer. I have the silver & have it mounted on a Trek 520 touring bike with 700x28 Schwalbe Marathon Plus & PlanetBike fenders. There is no clearance issues between the rack, steer tube or anything else. I'd have liked to use a handlebar bag but I wouldn't be able to mount a light on the handlebars without a Minoura h/b accessory attachment (I'm nearly blind & use an 1800 lumens h/light in the dark). It would get awkward so I thought a small rack over my low rider rack would work with a trunk bag on it. It works well so I'm very pleased. There is no problem installing the front panniers or getting stuff in or out of the panniers. HOWEVER don't follow the mounting instructions if your cantilever brakes have a tension spring that fits one of 3 holes on a bracket near the forks. Look closely to the rear side of the brake arms & you should be able to see the spring tab & bracket. Merely remove the mounting bolt on the forks brake arm pivot post (welded onto the fork), position the rack & re-install the bolt. Don't lose any washers on the end as the racks bracket may press against the brake arm and prevent it's proper release function. Loosen the small nuts/bolts that attach the rack platform to the legs, position the platform to horizontal (or whatever angle you want), tighten & you are done. *The tension spring may be universal on all cantilever brakes* **In my opinion the only handlebar bag is Arkels. It has the very best mounting over every other bag. Any bag that uses a strip under the stem to hold the bag/plastic mount in position is inherantly weak from the start.** ***Can't speak to it's load capacity as I'm only using the trund bag for camera, wallet, keys & the like of low weight items. Yes, I'd recommend this product and the supplier.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the dimensions of this rack? (The horizontal length and width, the height below and above the deck.) I have a front fender...**
A: Overall dimensions: 9" long, 6" wide, 8" high. Height from the deck surface to the highest point: 2.5". Distance between the lower mounting bolt center to the underside of the rack: 4.75".

**Q: Can someone walk me through the instructions step by step maybe with some pictures because I am a bit confused about how to install.**
A: First remove the through bolt from your cantilever brakes, leaving the brakes in place, position the rack over the hole and reinsert the through bolt (may need a longer one.)  After this is completed on both sides attach the stabilizer bracket to the fork crown using the existing hole in your fork crown.  Note: not all forks have either brakes bosses or a hole in the fork crown if this applies the rack won't fit without the use of extra hardware and extensive creativity.  Perhaps you local bike shop could help.

**Q: Will this work on a carbon fork bike?**
A: Will only work if you have V brake bosses. No bosses on disc brake forks.

**Q: Give me some ideas for bags that would mount to this rack.  Thanks!**
A: This rack is not big enough to mount any bags to it, cept mebbee a tool bag on each side. You need a rack that mounts on your fork.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good for the money I had been looking at $69 ...
*by H***R on September 23, 2016*

Very good for the money I had been looking at $69 & $90 front racks. But this rack in my eyes was way more appealing. It wasn't as large and intrusive as the other racks. It almost looks like a front fender and blends into my bike seamlessly (I have a matte black bike) this rack is matte black. All I needed it to do is hold a milk crate which I turn into a pet carrier and supplement a light touring set up. It does that well with zip ties. It can also compliment a touring set up. I can still mount low rider racks below it for panniers if needed but I only ever intended to use a handlebar bag/wrap so this can replace that and I can now mount anything I want! As other posters mentioned the hardware isn't great I needed to buy L brackets and a longer bolt from Home Depot but no biggie. For $16 this rack is a steal. It was still a very easy install and feels very sturdy. Doesn't move one bit. It was delivered very quick. I saw the same rack on eBay for 1/2 the price but it would take. Month to come from China (imagine if you had to return it?) I gave this 5 star rack 4 stars due to the hardware
