## Description

desertcart.com : Ventura Economical Bolt-On Bicycle Carrier Rack, Adjustable Fit for 26"/28"/700c, Steel , Black : Bike Racks : Sports & Outdoors

Review: If it fits your bike it's the best kind. - This is a very well made carrier rack, welded steel and built to withstand abuse with a weight-limit of 10 KG (22 Lbs.) I have used this type before on the various bikes I've owned and the racks always carried the loads without failing. Unfortunately, this carrier rack won't fit my current bike, which has disc brakes and there's just no room on the back frame. Where there were holes on those other bikes, there's nothing to hold the carrier's struts on either side. I thought about making some kind of brackets to fix this problem, but it will just be easier getting a rack that has a different fastening system. This was still hard work because I put small washers on the back of each screw before tightening (with the included allen key) the nylock nuts in order to better hold them tighter and almost had it assembled on the bike before realizing there was no way it was going to work. I'll give it to some homeless person who depends on their bike to get around, and decide if I really need one of those racks or not.
Review: Decent Price for a Pretty Solid Rack - So I just bought this and attached it to my 27'/700cc hybrid Schwin bike (So to the previous poster who said this couldn't be used with a Schwin... you need to be smarter than the bike rack.) This rack DOES have some major issues already pointed out. The screws. I became so frustrated with the screws I ran to the local hardware shop, and for $3.00 I bought all of the screws I needed. Given how inexpensive the initial purchase was, it wasn't THAT big of a problem. There is also no instruction. BUT, since this is a universal rack, my guess is, there is no point in having a 20 page instruction booklet for every possible way you can put this thing together to fit your bike. And that can't possibly cover every bike out there. The rack PROBABLY can't cover every bike out there. But it seems pretty adaptable. I've ridden with this rack on my bike for a short while, but it does seem very sturdy. The only thing I might be concerned with is screws coming loose. But I guess that can't be completely blamed on the bike rack because I bought them somewhere else. BUT, that is my only concern regarding the rack itself. Solid metal. Once attached and the screws are down, it's pretty immovable. I DON'T have a fender on my bike. It probably would not be possible to have this rack and a fender. At least not on a 27" tire. For the 26', you can probably set it up to have enough clearance to have both a fender and a rack. Given the screw situation, I could only give this rack a 4 out of 5. Probably closer to a 3.5. But quality-wise, definitely a good investment. And even if you add my hardware store purchase of a few bucks, that still keeps this solid rack under $20. Excellent value even with the addition.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent Price for a Pretty Solid Rack

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Word To The Wise
*by R***L on March 20, 2010*

Please read this review, this entire review, before purchasing this carrier rack. The product itself is wonderful, just as the reviews said. And like the other reviews said, the service is terrible. I've always had nothing but pleasant experiences when ordering from Amazon, so I read all the negativity and dismissed it. I thought those were unlucky people. I was wrong. First time I ordered, it took over a month to get to me. When it finally came, the box was weird/unmarked. I shook it and it rattled. I opened up the box and there was this sorry looking bit of plastic packaging, all mangled and ripped. Looks like a rat tried to eat it. Bolts, nuts were everywhere. Guess that explains the rattling, right? But I really don't care about looks, so I started putting everything together only to find that I was missing a small black bar (the "extender" bar?). I contacted Amazon and explained that all I needed was an "extender" bar. They replied promptly and told me that they do not ship parts; I would need to return the partial package once I received the replacement. I agreed. Second package comes in an Amazon box. Shook it and rattling was minimal/normal. Promising. I opened it up and found the plastic package mostly intact...except for one big, clean slit towards the bottom where it looks like they shoved parts in. Again, really didn't care about looks, so I pulled it all out and got my one stupid extender bar and I was hoping to find some bolts/nuts. I forgot to mention to them that I needed 3 bolts/nuts, but I figured hey, why worry if they're sending me a whole new replacement package, right? Wrong. This one had no nuts/bolts. But I found some that worked, so it was okay (God forbid I approach them a third time and they screw it up...again). The product didn't quite fit on my Schwinn Aluminum Comp for some reason, but I ghetto rigged it and made it fit. Kinda. For $10, it's alright. The kicker? I basically paid $20 because I was too lazy to return the other package. I just got busy and never got around to mailing it...returns are just so freaking inconvenient. And the part I find incredibly funny is this: "We never ship just parts". Oh, really? Then why the HECK did I receive not one, but TWO partial packages? Let's use some common sense here....someone got to those packages before the customer did...so they're doing something with those parts. If they stopped ripping open packages, all these problems would be gone. Friends, Amazon does a lot of things well. I love Amazon. But for some reason, they struggle with Ventura Universal Bicycle Carrier Racks. Do not brush off all the negative reviews; they are real people that got a real pain in the butt from this (usually) really good company. This is a great product, but not worth the hassle. If you choose to not heed my warning and order it for your kid's bike for Christmas, fine. Order it now if you want it for Christmas. I am dead serious. It'll take a month to ship the first time and there's a good chance they will screw up *multiple* times. And you may want to assemble it for your kid, too, like for him to go out to his bike and see it on there. Because no 6-year-old wants to open up a Christmas present only to find a ratty, ransacked piece of plastic packaging.
