Description
In 1975, Jim Blackburn looked at the at the emerging cycling culture and knew he could make a difference. That meant thinking from the user's perspective, showing respect for materials and their functionality, while bringing unprecedented innovation. Over the years, we've taken those principles to build gear that allow people to go further, do more and be prepared for anything.

(For 2012-10-21 update, see below.) Great concept. Bolts directly to lower eye in the fork. A topographically challenging but very adaptable extension goes either to the upper eye or to a clamp set up in that vicinity (or even to the brake mount). The instructions don't make clear how the extension is supposed to be fitted, and the tiny pictures are puzzling. I finally searched images on the internet and figured it out. The bolts supplied to hold the extension to the upper eye on the fork were too long and I didn't want to cut them, so I had to add many washer to avoid bottoming the bolt out against the inside fork surface opposite the fork eye - a bolt going through the outer surface of the fork eye, if too long, eventually strikes the opposing inside surface. The bolt would be hard to replace - it features a concave shoulder - the lower head surface - to match a convex surface on one of the supplied washers, so the extension can be wobbled to point where it should and still be securely tightened. It's the same thing you see in threaded brake blocks, so the angle can be adjusted. The extension doesn't hold weight; it prevents rotation of the rack. The rack is hollow aluminum, and I would prefer solid rod for durability like Blackburn used two decades ago. The diameter of the tubing necessitated bending open the metal hangers on my front (very old) panniers. I also had to add nylon cable ties at two places on the bottom curved members so I could hook the elastic cord from the panniers between the ties so it wouldn't slip off. There are no stops provided there. I hang the panniers from the second of the three horizontal tubes, but I would need the cable stops even if I hung them from the top rung. If you don't already have panniers, you might want to explore what kind you want with these things in mind. 2012-10-21 edit concerning the “lower mounts” referred to in Step 2 of the installation instructions. In Step 2 Option 1, the lower mounts attach to front fork braze-ons. I installed my rack that way, but the lower mount screw on the right kept backing out, probably because the face of the mount overlapped the front fork slightly and wouldn’t seat properly against the flat of the braze-on. There’s a beveled edge on the lower mount face that would provide sufficient clearance, but I had to swap the left and right lower mounts to get the bevel next to the fork rather than away from it. If your braze-on is on the trailing side of the fork, you may need that bevel be on the leading edge of the lower mount, so as to clear the fork. See the photos. Each lower mount consists of a long tab with holes for height adjustment, and a barrel with a recessed hole in it, through which an M5 screw attaches to the tapped holes in the fork braze-on. The face of the barrel mates to the face of the braze-on. The barrel is beveled on one side of that face, apparently to provide clearance for the front fork. The lower mounts came already assembled on the rack, straight from the box, but the beveled edges were on the trailing edge, away from the fork. So the barrel face was partially resting on the curved surface of the front fork, rather than resting flush on the braze-on tab. I removed the lower mounts from the rack and found them stamped “L” and “R - they were on the left and right side of the rack respectively (from the rider’s perspective), as you would expect. I swapped the lower mounts, putting the “L” on the right and the “R” on the left, so that the bevel was next to the fork to provide the needed clearance.

I wanted to like this rack so much, but I just can't. It ultimately comes down to the fact that despite how nice the finish and the lightweight tubing is, it isn't sturdy and mounts very strangely to my bike. Instruction manual is quite bad, with tiny awful photocopy-quality pictures and short instructions, as well as some of the parts are packaged already put together - it's very unintuitive pulling pieces apart first just to be able to follow instructions. I figured this rack would be a great option as my bike fork has braze-on and mid-fork mounts - theoretically that means I should have great compatibility. There are a few problems with the rack mounts. The bottom mount is meant to sit flush either with your qr or some flat part of your fork - if there isn't enough flat space, it'll wobble and you'll lose a ton of rigidity. They have a cutout on one side as well, so despite being 'universal' they're expecting the braze-on to be in one spot relative to the rack. Second problem is the stabilizing arms. They suck. The idea is that you mount a bracket on the rack, and the arm sticks through the bracket and is attached to the fork eyelets or the cantilever posts. To accommodate both options the majority of the arm is a single straight piece of rod, then it has a 90° bend with threading. Then a cup joint threads onto either end, and you're supposed to attach all the hardware, level the rack and then tighten it down. These stabilizing arms are too short, and the threaded cup thing would be 10x if it was affixed and could pivot instead, because if the angle is a little off then you'll have to rotate it off tight which will cause wobble. The third problem is the brackets for the upper stabilizing arms. They don't rotate in any way, so when you've mounted them to the rack the only way to adjust the arms and bracket is to move the bracket up or down, or left or right depending on which tube you've chosen. Again, the arms are not long enough to get the correct angle on some tubes, and on other tubes you just can't get enough torque/geometry to really hold the rack in place. So eventually I get the rack on, tightened pretty good and despite my best efforts it doesn't sit straight; it's very clearly off center by more than an inch or two. Still, I load up my panniers to test it. One pannier has a tent and tent fly - about 5lbs including the pannier. The other has a sleeping bag and air mat, maybe 4lbs max. So even with 10lbs on the rack, it sways and moves a bunch. I even redid the arms because the first time it was rocking back and forth as well as side to side! In the process of fitting the rack, the finish has been chewed pretty good - in order to stabilize the arms and bracket you need to jam the screws into the metal and the bend gets chewed up by the bracket. Very disappointing, especially if the first fit isn't quite right. All in all, it's very underwhelming. I couldn't imagine removing the top as it's rigidity is already questionable. It's very light, which I like, and it's got a nice finish, so it looks good too. But the hardware is odd, and it just doesn't sit happy on my bike.
