West Biking Bike Carrier Rack, 310 LB Capacity Solid Bearings Universal Adjustable Bicycle Luggage Cargo Rack,Cycling Equipment Stand Footstock

The first thing which has to be mentioned. If you purchase this product you either need to be very patient or have help from someone who is as the instructions are the most useless I've ever seen. The images in the booklet are unclear, and the video link is abysmal. You will need to try and assemble this yourself through trial and error, which took me around 4 hours with help from a friend. Pay attention to the screw lengths, there is no help at all which ones to use and there's 3 sizes. I spent most of the time swapping them round.When fully assembled however it is very sturdy. I've not tested the 310lb claim, but I can envision it will carry big weight (make sure your tyre tubes have the correct air pressure to prevent bursts). But despite its potential ability to carry heavy loads the design of the side wings (which prevent pannier bags from going into the wheel spokes) are not fit for purpose at all. They're far too small. The wings should be stretching further out to the rear and further down. I'm having to use zip ties to prevent my pannier bags from bumping into my spokes (i've attached pictures after removing the zip ties so you can see for yourselves).I'd recommend looking elsewhere if you are planning long journeys as this rack will cause problems instead of reduce them. I'm considering returning this for a refund.

Comes with assembly instructions and a online tutorial. One look at the instructions and didn't give enough detail, best just looking at the image to follow. Sticky pads are supplied to go on the frame for where the clamps would sit to protect the frame, and two silicone pads for the seat post claps. There are three lengths of bolts instructions don't state where they're meant for. I used the smallest for the rack and six connecting bars. Largest bolts for the frame clamps, closest to the frame then the medium on the third hole furthest away from the frame.

I dont drive so sometimes needs to cycle for grocery shopping. I had a basket in the front of my bike but my husband said it is a bit dangerous for me because if the items in the basket are heavy I then have a problem of balancing the bike. My husband adivsed me to have another basket to carry heavy stuff on the back of my bike. To do that, I need to have a carrier rack installed on my bike thats why I found this item on Amazon. The product is made from very strong material and is very sturdy after being installed on my bike. The installation was difficult for me and I could not sort it out on my own. My husband spent about half an hour on finishing the job. Not quite sure if it will stand the test of time. Hopefully it will because it is not cheap.

Extremely durable bike rack and the fixings included are very tough, survived a 30mph crash with no structural damage and only minimal abrasion.The build quality, as well as the mounting system, spread the weight over multiple frame structural parts so the load is equally distributed. I feel confident riding with this attached and once it's mounted it stays on 6 months at a time only to come off when doing a full clean.The only downside is that it sits around 10-20cm above the rear tire thus causing the bike's center of gravity to shift significantly upwards and backward when carrying any significant load, this is further amplified when cornering when the feeling is the same as carrying another person on the back of the bike.

Very nice rack. Very sturdy and looks good. Installed on a bike 700c wheels and disc brakes with no issues. Give yourself a good 30 minutes to put it all together, Instructions are pretty basic and in "Chinglish", but in all honesty it's pretty obvious how it all goes together. Had a 70kg load on with no problems, very impressed. Will review in a year, if it's still going strong I'll amend my 4 star rating to 5 stars.

This is a great rack and really easy to assemble and fit. Just right size for my bike ( perfect looking). This is also a very reasonable price for a very flexible piece of kit. The quality ( solid steel) has not let me down so far. It can carry loads up to 180kg. I am very pleased with this order.

Maybe we just got unlucky, but installation was a nightmare because several of the pieces were slightly warped making it extremely difficult to align all the moving parts properly, leaving us with a rack that looks a bit like a dead goose with a dislocated shoulder. On the plus side, an instructional video to help with installation. On the minus side, that video was apparently made by someone who has very little idea how to make a good instructional video.Extremely frustrating experience and only gets 2 stars rather than 1 because this doesn't feel like a crappy product - it feels like a crappy example of an ok product. They've clearly made some efforts to make it work well - this isn't just cheap tat. They just didn't succeed, at least in this particular instance.

Used this for the first time today great rack you get what you pay for well made took a while to put on my bike about 1hour but very stable panniers fit great not cheap but worth the money
