Hi all,
Just wanted to share my experience with the BLB T rack. Been after a front rack for a while but couldn’t quite afford the reputable Pelago front rack but also didn’t want to buy a cheap Amazon special. I decided to go for what seemed a mid range option from BLB at £65. It arrived today and I’m shocked by the quality.
Parts were bent meaning a tight fit of bolts would not be possible. The ends of the stays were pressed at entirely different lengths. The stays were bent and wouldn’t align with the fittings on the rack itself. The stays wouldn’t even line up with the provided brackets for mounting. And to make matters worse paint was chipped on the rack too.
BLB have been about for years and I’ve ive had success with some of their parts in the past but the quality seems to have gone out the window!
I guess I better get saving for a pelago now!
