## Description

BIKE RACK FT SUNLT G-TEC SL 26/700

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.
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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ You're Going To Need A Few Tools, But It Is Doable
*by J***A on June 1, 2013*

First of all, for what you're getting it is worth it. It's decent quality and comes w/ everything you need (in my case anyway). I actually ordered a Toba Romeo (~$50) but I also ordered the Sunlite rack at the same time and it just happened to come in first. It isn't the biggest rack but you can put a grocery bag and strap it down w/ ease. I installed it on a cross bike that I converted as a commuter. My rack wasn't completely even on both sides so I had to bend it. Also the bracket had to be bent a bit (easily done on a vice)to get it attached to my liking on the brake mount. It works perfectly for what I wanted and I easily put 30 lbs of gear and it's sturdy. The Toba still hasn't come in but when it does I'm returning it. You can't go wrong w/ this thing for the price. But just like some of the other reviews, it's not going to fit perfectly and some (easy/moderate) tinkering will be necessary 90% of the time.
