Universal rack means install may/may not go smoothly. purchased this inexpensive rack for a friend's 700CX38 rei novara corsa ladies bike. she wanted to support a tote with farmer's mkt veg so supporting that tote weight steel rack was a must in my opin. rack is a steal at the price. photos i took show i had to use the rear fender mount hole with the parts included. i did try using the rack stays and there was an issue. did end up using some #8 machine screws/nuts. walmart sells a machine screw assortment and that should handle any issue that emerges. note i did end up turning the 45 degree angle attachment upside down if you will. it worked better. but, that's why this call this a universal rack. note i do have a bicycle work stand, good selection of tools, lighting, and patience. this is not a rush job. had to bend the bracket 25 degrees with my vise to perfect fit on fender attachment hole. see photo. if you are unsure of your bike mechanic skills enlist a friend. 4 hands are helpful and another set of eyes to perhaps see a more opportune method of attachment. do not tighten screws/nuts/nylon lock nuts (provided) until all adjustments made and you are pleased. also, drag out a level and be certain your new rack is level. all in all, walmart's vendor offers a great product with this rack at a rock bottom price. summing up: i'm 71 and had a good time making a friend's bike more utility friendly. project was fun.
Better then expected. Very solid construction. Took an hour to install it to meet my expectation. Great deal for the money.
Came with all hardware ez to install looks like it came with the bike.
Everything fit the first time
The only complaint I have about the rack is that the hex bolts that came with it seemed deformed. I finally got enough grip to turn them in the nuts though. That rack is never coming off the bike, for sure. It looks good, and cost a lot less than anything at the bike store for sure.
The quality of the rack was better than I thought. My bicycle has rear disc brakes so I had to purchase a longer screw from the hardware store to mount overtop the disc brake assembly. But once I was finished I was happy with the results.
The rack is made of steel which makes it relatively heavy. It also lacks two smaller bolts to fixed its support bars to bike's rear wheel. You need to buy them yourself. However, over all, it is a good rack, especially the spring design, making it easy to hold small stuff.
If you're not handy, don't buy this rack! It came in a bag with NO instructions whatsoever! No pics, nothing! When I finally figured out where everything belonged, I discovered that there weren't enough screws--I had to supplement with my own! It will not fit a bike with disc brakes.
Wow what a cheap piece of cr--! A weld broke on one bracket - that goes down by the rear axle- good thing I can weld. Had to bend things to get stuff to line up. Had to drill out holes for bolts (that weren't included) to fit.
Weld on rack arms broke, as arms were welded too narrow. Tried to bend to fit, but bad welds failed.
