Sunlite Gold Tec Front Rack, 26"/700c

I needed a front rack to rest my doggie basket as the bracket that came with the dog carrier rests on the handlebar, and I didn’t feel safe having all that weight on the handlebar. This bracket complements the color on my bike perfectly and very affordable compared to the other ones I looked at. I’m not a handy person so it took me about 2 hours putting it together (2x installing and reinstalling). It was worth it in the end as my handlebar is now more balanced even with my dog in the basket. I used the existing screws on my bike except for the 2 screws attached to the hinge.

Bought it because it’s advertised as silver. More gray than silver.. rack works fine though.

Great rack for holding small lightweight items. I put this on my kid's 24" Islabikes and it's been awesome. Used it for bike camping to hold a sleeping bag and clothes.Install wasn't too tough, just making sure the brackets weren't in the way of the brakes.

I added this to an ebike (20x4" fat tire) front fender. I was planning on some modification before I bought it.The rack itself is sturdy. It has mounting point (holes) but can be easily drilled to make changes. It is plenty wide for this ebike. Did not have any problems fitting over fender or tire at all.

I bought this to mount my pet carrier on my bike. The hardware included was sufficient. But the instructions were sparse. Definitely not dummy roof - me being the dummy. From three hours, two attempts, and a phone call with my dad, this is what I learned.1. Start with the stabilization bracket and put it under the brake lines. Then attach the stabilization bracket to the actual mount. You can have it loosely attached on the sides where the brakes are, but tighten those all the way last.2. You'll need to bend the mount to make it level. I just put it off the edge lf a table with a floor mat to protect the table and pushed down.3. When you remove the screws on the sides for the brakes, the brake arms will move. Make sure to readjust them after so the brakes won't rub on the tire while is spins.4. The nuts for the screws have rubber washers in them to prevent them from getting loose with vibration from riding. This makes them REALLY hard to tighten. You need to use a wrench/vice grips and a torque screw driver.Overall works really well with my bike. I like the color scheme, it matches the rear rack. It also works very well with my backpack. And I didn't need any new parts but had extras 🤔

Tip: The installation instructions are inside the folded product card! The instructions were fine and the rack wasn't very difficult to install, aside from one of the brackets being missing. And as other reviewers stated... it did seem like there was just a grab bag of random hardware included, which made it a little more annoying to figure out which pieces were which. Luckily the bracket was simple enough that I could get one at my hardware store. I think these things are to be expected with cheap online purchases, so I'm satisfied. The rack seems to be pretty nice--I'll test it more this week.

This is a great little rack, and perfect for anyone who prefers not to have a permanant basket type rack on their bike. This rack is perfect to attach a soft cooler, or a camera bag-- or other bags.However that being said, they really don't make it easy to install these. I can understand why it doesn't come with any intructions, because every bike model is different, and you basically have to find your own way to make this thing work and attach to your particular bike. My issue with Sunlite is that they just give this odd array of hardware and bolts for you to figure this out with. Which is fine, but they would need more sets of similar bolts and nuts to make this work. Good thing my garage is basically like a hardware store anyway--- and you really want to use only metric hardware just to be consistent with your bike.I made it work for me, and am satisfied with this. But I would give this job 3 wrenches out of 5 for difficulty. So, if you aren't handy, you may need to take this to a bike shop to be installed. Especially if you are attaching this to your front brake caliper mounts. When I attached this, I then needed to do a full front brake adjustment and alignment of the calipers.

I thought this was a great looking item when I got it, but due to the way that my bicycle is built, it won't work for me. My bicycle is a Walmart-special Mongoose Deception that I got about 10 years ago (don't laugh, I have only had to replace tires and inner tubes in all this time). It has disc brakes, but it does have the center hole mount for V-brakes but not the side screw mounts. I thought that I could just drill holes (relax, it's not the frame but a piece of metal welded to the frame) and mount it that way. Unfortunately, the rack was too large to fit. Either it was too low and the rack was much too close to the front wheel or it was too high and wouldn't fit into the mounting hole. Another buyer left a review stating that he used conduit hangers to mount his, but I couldn't mount mine that way due to the metal bracket that was welded to the frame. After doing a number of fit checks, I decided to make this work would have required too many compromises to work, so I sadly returned the item. I gave it five stars because it looks like it would work really well, but didn't due to my bicycle's fault.One more thing, not related to the product. I wanted Amazon to issue a refund to my credit card, but they issued it to an empty gift card instead. I don't know why the refund went to the gift card instead of my credit card, but here I am, still having to pay my credit card bill with my refund sitting in a stupid gift card. Idiots!

Feels sturdy, and has a good angle adjustment for adaptability
