Overall, a great rack.

The rack is sturdy and pretty. My only real issue was fit. It wasn’t perfect and took me more time than I anticipated to install. The bolt welds we’re misaligned, so I had to break them off and secure them differently. I was also missing a few screws and had to run to the hardware store. The wood planks are a bit flimsy. I had to take two off for the install (see breaking welds). When I put them back on I almost pushed the screws through them.

Still, the rack is pretty, sturdy and a wonderful addition to the bike.

Thanks for sharing Matthew. The wooden slats are a tough one to solve as it's a fine balance between not adding too much weight and creating durable decorative planks. -Ryan Zagata

Good for the price

Overall, it's good value for a sturdy rack; you're gonna beat it up with hauling stuff anyway.

My only gripe is that the wooden planks are flimsy, like balsa wood, and the ones on my rack were not stained on all sides. It looks cheap up close. But again, I'm hauling stuff so no one will really see it or care.

Otherwise, it was easy to install, and it lends itself well to upgrades. It's easy to switch out the planks for other materials, and the hardware is pretty solid, too, as the nuts and bolts don't strip with wear.

Thanks for sharing Richard. The wooden slats are a fine balance between weight and durability. While we surely don't use balsa wood, we do use a lighter grade of wood to keep the carrier under 4lbs. If your slats fail, you can call us for replacements. Both sides of the wooden slats are stained and sealed for every carrier I have ever seen. -Ryan Zagata

Beautiful rack!!

Used it on a different brand bike (Public Bikes), one of the screws broke will fitting it into the front wheel - which really sucked. But found a decent replacement. Looks so good on the bike though, worth the pain of installing.

Thanks for sharing Julia. I'm glad you're enjoying the rack. -Ryan Zagata

Impressed by the rack and service!

I’m really impressed with the quality of the rack and with the service provided by Brooklyn Bicycle! I don’t pretend to be a bike mechanic, so as recommended, I had the rack professionally installed for only $25. It’s a great addition to my bike! I highly recommend it!

Thanks so much for sharing Doug. We're glad you're getting some use out of our front rack. -Ryan Zagata

Bicycle carrier

Very satisfied, nice addition to the bike. Would be nice if it was deeper or had a separate basket insert for easy unload

Thanks for sharing. Glad you’re enjoying your front carrier. -Ryan Zagata

Great rack, not weather resistant.

I love the rack. It looks great on my bike, and is great for carrying extra things. However the finish on the wood is not very weather resistant. After only a couple of rides in rain and snow, the finish is starting to flake off.

Thanks for sharing Bryan - we are big advocates of hitting our rear crate and front carrier with a generous coat of lacquer to protect the wood. While they are coated at the factory, organic materials such as wood and leather will ultimately break down if not protected from the elements. Thanks again for sharing. -Ryan Zagata
