JACK The Bike Rack review, Bikepacking.com (see here for full review): "Jack the bike rack is ingenious. The nearly universal fit is going to be a gamechanger for people who are basket-curious or battle with their front tire [sic] rubbing their handlebar bag and don't have any mounting points to use a more traditional front rack. It's clear that the team at WholeGrain Cycles has put a lot of time and energy into the design of Jack, and the final product is functional and competitively priced." JACK The Bike Rack review, offroad.cc (see here for full review): "Every now and then, somebody produces a product where you think, 'What a great idea; I wish I'd thought of that; it's so simple.' JACK the Bike Rack fits that bill perfectly. With no tools required, it fits on your bars quickly and offers a cargo platform pretty much regardless of what type of bike you have. So JACK the Bike Rack is an almost universal fit (tyre to bar minimum measurement accepted). It fits in seconds and can carry a wide variety of kit. You can use it off-road on gravel and bikepacking adventures, and you can use it to go to work. My paddleboard even fits on, but it does weigh almost double the official 5kg limit. Basically, you can use this rack to carry anything you like, and it will do it well without bouncing or wobbling. It's a good value..., and you can move it from bike to bike, and you don't need specialist fork mounts. I think it's a winner." Brilliant front rack that will work with almost any bike road.cc Recommends Bike Bags and Bike Racks of the Year 2022/23 (see here): "JACK The Bike Rack is a front handlebar-mounted hanging rack that fits quickly without any tools, providing almost all types of bike with a cargo platform. It's brilliant. JACK is a no-frills system that comprises the JACK Rack itself, the correct handlebar diameter size adaptor, and two straps. It is made from a 304 steel rod and fitting takes less than a minute. It slots either side of your stem with a snap-on fit, and then you strap it in place. The JACK rack is designed to carry loads up to 5kg. Once fitted, you barely notice it. The JACK feels solid, and there are no issues whether you're riding in the saddle or standing up. Reviewer Patrick Joscelyne reported that he just forgot about the rack even when it was fully loaded and he was riding rutted towpaths and lung-busting hills, and that has to be a strong recommendation." |
