Pros:
Nice rigid aluminum frame
Great welds!!
Light weight
Perfect overall size and shape for the Gade (not too big and not too small)
Appearance from a distance looks nice
Cons:
Aluminum frame — warped (very poor quality)
1/4” gap between rack frame and bikes 4x mounting points (very poor quality) (need to shim)
5/8” deck platform — warped deck and around the overall outer perimeter (very poor quality) (heat gun req’d to straighten)
Large 3/8” chamfer on all edges — product description shows edge to be sharp (no large chamfer)
Large 3/8” chamfer on all edges – Extremely rough finish (very poor quality) (need to chase all openings and outer edge with router)
Outer sides walls and cutout side walls – Extremely rough finish (very poor quality) (Stuck with it)
I think they need a new CNC mill with a few more RPM’s and use a quarter of the feed rate. You can see the surface finish quality of the close up I took of the one cutout.
So, just heads up if you decide to purchase this rack.
Tomorrow I will decide if send it back or keep it and fix it. Like I said it is a perfect fit to the Gade. I will say it will not go on my bike looking like it does out of the box.
Great intent, poor quality.
First picture was taken from the product add (yellow seat). I WISH MY RACK LOOKED LIKE THIS ONE
The rest of the pictures are from the actual rack I received and my bike.
