Surly 8 pack rack review.

Riding around with a surly rack on the front of your bike. The 8 pack utilises a 160x270mm tray while the 24 pack has an expansive 400x270mm tray. There s no shortage of brazes ons elsewhere either. You ve got stuff to haul and with our cargo gear you can secure your books groceries or even your offspring.

The 8 pack rack attaches to most forks with mid blade and crown eyelets. Dedicated commuters credit card tourers and sweaty back people looking to ditch their backpack need look no further. Pack rat is specifically designed around porteur style racks and front loading optimization. If it s the 8 pack or 24 pack you re going to want to remove it immediately.

The bike s fork crown has mounts for surly s excellent 8 pack rack to which i zip tied a wald 139 basket most of the time. Serious steel bikes for people who don t take themselves too seriously. After opening up the package i immediately could see the fine craftsmanship in each weld. Get exactly what you need to haul just the way you want.

But surly you said what gives. Surly has released a statement urging any riders using its 8 pack or 24 pack front rack to stop using these immediately following a number of failures that have led to injuries. It s not often a situation like this comes our way but when it does we do our best to do what s right. A nimble front load carrying bike.

It uses stainless steel hardware handily housed in a reusable surly tool bag and has the characteristic durability versatility and repairability all surly products are known for. With a name that says it all the surly 24 pack rack has moved the proverbial bar up a notch. Coated in all black. We had received word that a small number of 8 and 24 pack racks loosened contacted the front wheel and caused accidents.

They are 640g and 860g respectively. While surly has yet to announce an official product recall they have posted a safety notice instructing anyone that has one of these racks fitted to their bikes to remove it immediately.
