Ibera Bike Rack - Bicycle Touring Carrier Plus+ for Disc Brake/Non-Disc Brake Mount, Fat Tire Bikes, Frame-Mounted for Heavier Top & Side Loads, Height Adjustable for 26"-29" Frames

Good rack, not designed for bikes with Boost rear axle spacing I knew when I bought this rack that it was designed for the ‘standard’ rear axle spacing of 135mm that is used on bikes with 9mm quick-release skewers, and not the newer ‘Boost’ rear axle spacing of 148mm that is used on most modern mountain bikes that have 148mm x 12mm thru-axles. What that means in practical terms is that the cylindrical spacers provided are twice as long as necessary when the rack is used on a bike with Boost spacing. These spacers are 7/8” long and made of aluminum so they are very easy to cut if you are comfortable with that sort of thing. I simply cut one exactly in half and that made the width of the rack a perfect fit for the mounting lugs on my bike. Shortening the spacers required me to also grind down the length of the provided mounting screws to match the shorter rack+spacer dimension. You could simply go to the hardware store and buy shorter machine screws, but it was easy for me to just grind the provided screws to the length required. There was one other fit issue that was due to the frame geometry of many mountain bikes. The provided front carrier mounting arms were too short to work on my mountain bike. In general the angle of the seat tube mountain bikes use is quite a bit steeper than what was used in the past. The end result of that geometry is that the top rack mounting lugs on the bikes frame are a bit farther forward on the bike than older design bike frames. My bike is a 29er and that also stretches out the length of the bike a bit due to the larger wheel and tire. Bottom line is that the provided front carrier mounting arms are too short. To their credit Ibera does sell longer front carrier mounting arms on their US distributors website and they are a reasonable price. One other small bit of information that may be helpful to anyone trying to order the right parts is that the chainstay length of my bike is pretty short, 440mm. Before I had the actual rack in hand to check the fit, I hoped that short chainstay length might allow me to squeak by with the provided front carrier mounting arms. Even with that fairly short chainstay the arms were still too short for my bike. My guess is that any 29er with longer chainstays would also require the accessory longer front carrier mounting arms. I also bent the carrier mounting arms to match the radius of my tires just because I thought that looked better. I bought the rack knowing that I would have to do a bit of work to make it fit my bike properly. As far as I could determine at the time I bought this no company makes a rack that is specifically designed to fit modern mountain bike dimensions. But this rack can fit perfectly with the addition of the optional longer front carrier mounting arms and just a wee bit of work cutting the supplied cylindrical spacers to the length needed. The rack is good quality, fits perfectly with the changes detailed above, it easily clears my disk brakes, the provided machine screws are excellent quality, and it is rock solid on the bike. Just an FYI for comparison, I have installed the non-disk brake version of this rack on two other bikes in my family, not modern mountain bikes, and those racks fit their bikes perfectly with no modifications or extra work required.

The bike rack is relatively easy to install, and the instructions it comes with are easy to follow and understand. The rack is a solid construction, good quality product. The rod clamps that hold the rod arms for the front of it that screw in just behind the seat on the frame are solid, great quality clamps. You can attach almost anything to it; saddle bags, a basket, the versatility is effective. Noise is non-existent. This is a great piece of equipment anyone with a bike should have.

Here's the good: 1) It arrived quickly; 2) It appears to be quite sturdy Here's the bad: 1) The directions are not great, so be prepared for some headaches; 2) The paint seems to easily chip.

Short: Solid, highly configurable, and excellent quality components. Recommended. Long: I bought this for a Honeywell El Capitain e-bike with 26x4 tires, the functional equivalent of a Jeep Cherokee with a 12" lift and 35's. This comes with standard screws (#10-24) to fit a bike, so if yours has #10-32's like mine, you're likely going to the hardware store. I had the ones needed on hand. You will need hex wrenches to assemble. The instructions are sufficient, and if you can read an exploded diagram, assembly is a piece of cake. Nice touches : locktite is already on critical mounting screws. The screws provided look good and have no burrs to snag anything. I won't test it's rated load, but as mine is assembled, it will likely handle it. I really like the pannier cage sides. On my bike with super tall tires, the rack and tire clearance would interfere with any full fender.

When my bike became ancient history, I went and purchased a new 2020 Trek 5 xs (extra small) for women. I have short legs and I am only 5' tall. The rack seems to be built well, and so far no problems with it. It lost one star because the bars to the frame under the seat were not long enough, plus with arthritis in my hands it was slow going, plus I am older. Now 68 years old, yet otherwise it was easy to install. Reading the other reviews, I went to the bike shop and purchased some extenders, measured them, and cut them to the length needed. I used a horse rasp (course file) to smooth the cut ends and get rid of the snags. I also went to Lowes and purchases all new bolts for it which I have in the pictures. I also used lock-nut washers instead of theirs for a more secure fit. I wanted to use as many of the original parts, (except the bolts and washers) as I could. I rode the bike for about 10 miles and everything was great on it and worked fine. I did not use the panniers by the same company, Ibera, because my bike is an xs and I did not want the panniers too low. The panniers I used are Vincita and they fit just right on the rack. As the pictures show, the rack has plenty of clearance from the tire and my seat, and it is level. I purchased the rack for disk brakes as that is what I have. Later I will remove the 2 pieces of extenders and spray paint them black to match the rest of the frame. Presently I am extremely satisfied with this rack. I ride in the lower hills for pleasure and do not foresee any problems. Update: I forgot to thank another person who posted, @Bailesie who originally posted about which bolts to get. Thank you very much @Bailesie.

This rack (w/disc brake version) fits my Trek Checkpoint ALR frame perfectly without having to make any modifications. Installation is a little cumbersome, but not too bad. It appears to be well made. Time will tell.

Very sturdy and very easy to install. Specially installed on a specialized roll bike with nismo tires. Perfect clearance and easy mounting points with disc brakes.

This review will be for 3 items that were purchased to work together, and I will post it as a review for each individual item. Photos show the bags all the way opened and all the way closed in all configurations. Ibera IB-RA5 Touring Carrier + for disc brakes Ibera IB-BA14 Expandable Commuter Trunk Bag Ibera IB-BA9 Panniers My husband and I bike a lot, and we camp for many weeks during the summer. The bikes always go to the campgrounds with us. We often use them to ride to the beach, other park attractions, or to the store to pick up a few items. I was getting tired of using plastic shopping bags hung over my arm to carry things to the beach or home from the store, and I often wished we had a way to carry snacks or cold drinks with us. Besides, carrying those swinging plastic bags never made me feel very safe. We also usually have our dog along with us on a break-away leash, and we carry our back-pack style folding chairs with us. It is quite a load, and we needed to be able to take it all safely. This rack and the bag/panniers will be the answer! The rack was easy to install on my 26” bike, and we like it so much that we might get the same rack for my husband’s 29” bike. Since it is adjustable, we are hoping it will fit his bike, too! We bought this particular rack, because it was compatible with the bags we wanted to purchase. It provides a nice frame to add accessories to the bike, and, with a little jury rigging, it even accommodated the attachment needed for my existing clip-on red tail light. The tail light is ever more visible on the frame than it was when attacked to the bike itself. We are always looking for flexibility that will allow us to use things in multiple configurations as we need them, and these bags fit that bill! We can use any one of them, two of them or all 3 as long as the bike stays in balance. The panniers are roomy, and there is stiffening for the bottom and sides that either folds or removes to allow the bags to be flattened to take up less room for storage. They will carry our beach towels, other paraphernalia, or a few groceries with ease! Couldn’t be happier with the size! The large pocket in the main compartment has a pull tie to close the inside bag down before closing the top over it, and the straps that hold the top down are adjustable. In addition to the main compartment, there is a smaller pocket on the outside at the top. These panniers will be perfect for beach towels, water floats or a few groceries, and the top pocket will help keep smaller things like books separate and within easy reach. The panniers come with a handle to carry them when off the bike and a nylon rain cover. Great idea! The Expandable Commuter Trunk Bag lives up to its name! The main compartment can expand at the rear to be about 2 inches taller. It has a solid bottom and foam stiffening that would also act a bit like insulation. This main compartment is perfect for taking along some water bottles, snacks or some lunch – or anything else that will fit. There is a smaller top compartment both inside and outside of the bag to help keep smaller items from getting jumbled in the main compartment, and there is a bungee cord on top to keep items like a jacket or (leakproof) water bottle within easy reach. There is another small pocket at the back of the bag for keys or a wallet. The side pockets can be used as they are or unzipped to expand into a longer inner bag that are like small panniers. The bag also comes with a shoulder strap making it easy to take it along when it is off the bike. The one thing I wish it had is a rain cover. Ibera makes one for this model, but we have not been able to find anyone who sells it. The pannier-like side bags of the Commuter Trunk Bag can be used with the regular Pannier bag, although they will lay on the top of the panniers on an angle. I don’t anticipate using the side bags on the Commuter Trunk Bag as pannier extensions when the Panniers are also on the bike anyway, because it would be a bit of overkill, but the pannier extensions will be great when I need a bit longer space but not enough to put on the panniers. These bags are really flexible, and they will let us use just the bags we need while accommodating every use we can think of. As for the quick release feature on all of the bags – OMG! These bags go on and take off within seconds! So easy! We will see whether or not they come off too easily after we have used them for a while, but for now we love the idea and the design! The one drawback? I am at the shortest safe height to use a 26” bike, and the trunk bag will make it harder for me to swing my leg over onto the bike. I can do it by tilting the bike to the side quite a bit, but I won’t be able to bail off quickly. Shorter riders beware! You might need to try this bag on your bike to see whether or not you will be able to get on or off. The panniers are not problem for getting on or off.

Nice fit, no rattle, solid rack. Installed on an Aventon Aventure.

Oggetto ricevuto in anticipo sui tempi indicati. Bellissimo portapacchi di ottima fattura. Robusto ma leggero, permette l'installazione di tre capienti borse da viaggio supportando sino a 25 kg di peso. Installabile in biciclette da 26" / 29", prive di ammortizzazione posteriore e dotate di freno a disco (c'è anche il modello per freni normali). Purtroppo mi sono illuso di poterlo adattare alla mia bici reclinata ma, una volta ricevuto, mi sono reso conto che non sarebbe venuto un buon lavoro e che la necessaria robustezza per il carico di borse da viaggio non sarebbe stata sufficientemente garantita. AGGIORNAMENTO: Dopo un anno sono tornato sui miei passi e l'ho ordinato di nuovo. Devo partire per un viaggio in bici con un amico e questa volta la bici non è la reclinata bensì una Mountain Bike front (ammortizzata solo anteriormente). Nel fare l'ordine mi sono però reso conto che la mia bici non era dotata delle filettature per bloccare anteriormente il portabagagli per cui ho chiesto informazioni, sulla relativa pagina Amazon, se ci fossero stati in dotazione dei collarini per supplire al problema. Le risposte sono state negative. Ormai l'ordine era fatto e, tutto sommato, la soluzione al problema non mi sembrava così complicata. Una volta arrivato l'ordine ho provato a montare il portapacchi per vedere come fare per ovviare al problema. Con neanche un euro ho comprato alla ferramenta due collarini reggi tubo, li ho ricoperti con due pezzetti di guaina termorestringente per non rovinare la vernice della bici una volta montati, due bulloncini con relativi dadi e rondelle ed il gioco è fatto: stabilissimo! Poi ho voluto strafare ed ho aggiunto uno di quei parafanghetti di plastica flessibile che si assicurano con le fascette e l'ho piazzato sotto il portapacchi per far si che polvere ed acqua non sporchino la borsa che sta sopra. Perfetto! Ora sono pronto per affrontare il Coast to Coast Ancona - Orbetello ;-) parto il 31 agosto. Consigliatissimo a chi vuole attrezzare per i viaggi la propria bici normale, da strada o mtb, dotata di freni a disco e che sia priva dell'ammortizzatore posteriore.

Producto resistente, ligero y con exelentes terminados. Su ensamble fue relativamente fácil. Lo compré para usar las maletas de liberación rápida, ¡en su conjunto son una maravilla! Lo he utilizado con cargas menores a 5kg, ya sea para trayectos cortos casa-oficina (con asfalto irregular), así como para pequeñas rodadas en el bosque, el rack sujeta de manera sólida la maleta sin titubeos.

J'ai eu le rack PakRak plusieurs mois maintenant et je l'adore. Il était facile à installer et malgré le fait de rouler sur beaucoup de terrains accidentés, rien ne s'est détaché ou n'est tombé. Cher mais ça vaut le coup. I have had the PakRak rack several months now and love it. It was easy to install and despite riding over lots of rough terrain nothing has come loose or fallen out. Expensive but worth it.

Znächst zum Fahrrad: Ich besitze ein Cube Ltd. SL, Modell 2013, 29 Zoll, Scheibenbremsen. Der Träger wurde innerhalb weniger Tage gut verpackt geliefert. Anleitung, 4 Schrauben und Abstandshalter lagen bei. Anbau ist selbsterklärend und überraschend easy. Die Qualität ist perfekt und diese hatte ich in der Form nicht erwartet. Alle Achtung. Anbau an mein Rad erfolgte innerhalb von ca. 15 Minuten. Die Größe lässt sich von ca. 26" bis 29" über ein stabiles "Verstellstück" einstellen. Nun muss ich mir allerdings eine Lösung für den Spritzschutz überlegen. Nur beim 29" MTB (von 26"-28" gibt es genug Platz) wird es für ausladende Spritzschutze ein wenig eng. Aber das wird. Die Qualität des Trägers, die Stabilität, die Passgenauigkeit und die Optik ist in jedem Fall über jeden Zweifel erhaben. P.S.: Mein Rad ist überwiegend matt schwarz, der Träger auch.
