Fairdale Bike Rack Pannier Skateboard, Black

Great product! Fits on my rear bike rack perfectly. I added a few velcro straps just to really cinch it to the bike rack, but the supplied two would likely be sufficient. I only have a few issues with the rack, the first being how low the board sits in the rack as it interferes with my bike's kickstand. I understand this is a design choice, so the board doesn't sit too high, but even a few inches would help. Yes, I know kickstands are dorky, but I have one and it won't flip up completely with the board in the rack. Another issue is the shipped bungee cord is far too short. Unlike the images of the product, the bungee cord I received is a looped elastic with one hook, not a straight elastic with hooks on each end. After looping it around the rack frame (to attach it to the rack), it's too tight to hook the end on the other side of the board (my board is only 7.75). I'm just using another bungee I have in the garage, but it's a bit disappointing. There is also a spot the size of a pencil eraser on the rack where the rubberized coating is missing. Perhaps it is how/where the rack was hung for dipping, but I am concerned this might be an issue over time, so I will look to cover it with something. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase - my board is secure and safe while I ride to my local park.

Not many skateboard carriers on the market in the first place. Chose this one as it looked far and away like the best of the few out there. It is super light weight and really strong.One of the 2 Velcro straps buckles broke immediately. I attached mine with 4 Velcro straps for rattle-proof use. Also the bungee supplied is good quality but too long, so don't plan on hooking it like the photo shows. Hook it to the top of your existing bike rack so it is tight AND pulls the board into the rack a bit harder - again...rattle free.My simple modifications - add 2 straps and string bungee tighter - made this carrier absolutely perfect. It is well worth the $$ they ask and I expect it to last and last. Well constructed with quality materials and rubber coated - not even a squeak. Board straps in and comes out in literally 2 seconds. Brilliant design. No heel strike when pedaling. Strap in the board and forget it.I gave it 5 Stars regardless of the broken strap issue. It's a winner!

Use the rack about twice a week, no complaints about intended purpose. Rack is really light and the rubber outer keeps it from scratching the rear rack or less likely of the two your board. Biggest grievance is that it doesn't fit bigger boards well! If you ride an 8.5" plus board you have to work to get the elastic strap hooked in place. My board kinda gets stuck where you truck goes into the rack at the bottom, no biggie though. Also not sure why the rack is designed on a slant. Overall this thing saves you from carrying a backpack or hitting stuff by taking up too much lateral space which they hilariously depicted in their YouTube ad for it. Highly recommend for a casual commuting skateboarder

It certainly holds a board well, but it does wobble the slightest bit. Also, it's made out of sturdy plastic, not metal. For what I paid I expected a more substantial feeling product. Still, these are minor issues and the board holder does its job well.

Saw someone riding down the street with one of these. Knew I needed to invest in one. Made riding my bike to the skatepark a whole hell of a lot easier.

I have used it on a old Wald rack and a old Schwinn rack. Pick up extra hook and loop. I don't know how it would do in a urban BMX situation, but cruising around you don't even know it's there. This was put on a vintage Schwinn 26" klunker/strandie type bicycle. Is it necessary? No, but it really does make carrying simple and easy.

Fantastic minimalist design works really well. I only wish there were an alternative to the Velcro straps which makes it hard to quickly take the rack on and off as needed.

Excellent. Works for Eboard as well. Riptide R1 fits perfect. Be aware of weight in the rear!

The skate rack has been great so far, I’ve had it for almost a year now and it’s in great condition. I would definitely recommend this skate rack!

As per all of Fairdale's advertising. The Rack is great. Cheers

Good

Der Halter ist aus Aluminium gefertigt und daher sehr leicht.Das Rohrgeflecht ist mit einer Gummi-Ummantelung überzogen und somit rappelt das Skateboard beim Fahren nicht so. Das Spannband hält das Brett super in Position.Leider beschädigen die scharfkantigen Achsen (wenn die ge-grindet wurden) die Gummi-Ummantelung. Aber was solls.Auch lässt sich der Rahmen super an Kofferträger-Halterungen an Motorrädern anbringen (Anbohren oder Kabelbinder benutzen).Ein richtiger Nachteil ist aber, das sich Decks über 8,5 Zoll damit auf keinen Fall transportieren lassen , da der Brettanschlag nicht verstellbar ist . Echt schade, da auch mancher Nutzer schon mal einen breiten Kutter mitschlüren würde. Daher nur 4 Sterne

Wonderful rack but be advised it does not fit a 9" board.
