Replacement Mounting Hardware ONLY. RACK SOLD SEPARATELY!

Summary: Just as described, works great
Comment: I don't know what everyone is complaining about. I was looking through tons of bike racks, too, and didn't have any trouble determining what this was. The only problem I found is that all the screws are the same size (short) so you need one long screw in order to attach to the bike frame itself. Very sturdy, well made. I found mine for $1.99 from Niagara Cycle Works, here on Amazon, but I can't find that listing any longer.

Also, this hardware does come included with the Wald #215 Bicycle Rack (though you're not given that info in the rack's listing). I bought this separately because I couldn't determine whether or not it was included with the rack. Good thing I did, because the bike I bought for my wife (Schwinn Ranger 24") was not compatible with the included hardware insofar as the attachment point on the bike frame was further away from the rack than it was supposed to have been. Since I had the extra hardware, thought, I simply bolted to two together to extend their reach and VOILA, perfect connection and even looks good.

Don't listen to the nay-sayers in these reviews. Their complaints aren't really even about this product for the most part.

Summary: Bolts are to short!
Comment: The bolts that came in the pack are to short to install on a common Schwinn mountain bike. They need to be about 1/4 inch longer to be useful. They must have been designed for a bike with a really thin frame. They also don't include a bolt to mount to the brake support. A new set of nuts and bolts aren't expensive to purchase, its just annoying that I have to make an extra trip to the hardware store to get what should have come standard in the pack. The only piece that is of any use is the bracket that attaches the bike rack to the brake post...which should come standard.

Summary: Not perfect.
Comment: Very study bracket but doesn't contain every thing I need to install a rear bike rack. I still had to visit the nearest hardware store for additional nuts and bolts to complete the install.

Summary: Read the description carefully
Comment: Note: This is NOT the rack. It's a small bit of metal for more securely fastening a rack. Which you'll need to buy separately.

I realise the essential information is there, but when you've looked at 20 different rear bike racks, you start to go on the picture. In this case the picture is NOT of the product on offer: More than a little deceptive.

Summary: Necessary piece, but if you ride a vintage bike, read this!
Comment: This is the essential anchor to the bicycle that your rear rack will need to have a solid positioning on the back of your ride. It works beautifully once it's on..."once it's on" being the operative word!

I purchased a late-seventies English Racer (3 speed) to be my errand and basic bike for getting around the city. When I went to attach this to my rear rack, I found that there was no proper hole for me to attach through, and had to drill a completely new one! If you do not have access to a power drill, you may be in a bind!

I knocked off one star for the lack of proper hole, and another because I fail to understand why this is not automatically included hardware for the rear rack.

I will post a picture showing the location of the new hole soon.
