Pizza Rack

The rack on its own provides great utility. I am mounting on my Specialized Roll 3. 0. The hardware included with exceptions. There is no hardware available in the kit for attaching the two triangles to the forks. The bolt and special nut intended for the Fork Crown are too short and too large in diameter to fit on this particular application. Here’s my approach to solve: remove two of the unused bottle cage mounting points and use on the fork mount points. Take the plastic caps that you just removed and place in the bottle cage position. Locate a longer bolt for the fork crown and a nylon acorn nut. Use lock tight on the threads. The bracket will not work as configured from the factory. No worries! Just carefully take some of the bend out of it and you’ll be in good shape.

The "pizza" triangular brackets were challenging to get to fit the forks and spreading the rack legs in order to not scratch the forks was not easy. The upper bracket for the head tube was no where near fitting my bike and the rack together. I had to do some serious bending of the bracket and then mount it upside down in order to get it to fasten properly. I have a 2021 Specialized Como 4. 0 and this rack was sold to me by a dealer saying it would fit. Well with some re-engineering it finally did fit. Now that it is on, I do like it a lot for what I needed it to do. But read all the reviews before you invest in this rack!

Awesome rack… happy with it but I didn’t loktite the hardware and it rattles loose and disappears if you’re not keeping an eye on it. Now I’m searching for replacement hardware for the 4 screws near the top of the vertical legs

Perfect front rack for a Kona Sutra with steel fork. Holds heaps of weight (too much!). I use with a wald basket. A little weighty perhaps

Had the pizza rack installed at the Bike Route where I purchased my Roll 3.0 looks great! Perfect fit.

Perfect for what I needed.

I have a Turbo Levo that I bought in 2022 and this rack has been on my radar since the beginning. The web page doesn't have any information about compatibilities between accessories like this, so I recurred to the internet and Reddit gave me hope. Now that I have it, some screws and washers are missing. The metal bar that connects the rack with the fork is too big and the screws damaged the fender paint. The instructions are not very well designed either. Other complaints in the reviews are very true. Sad to say, there are better options on Amazon.

This is a great rack, although: * I wish it came with black bolts instead of silver... the rack color is black... so why not black bolts too? * It doesn't come with 2 bolts you need to attach it to the fork. * I have a Roll 3.0 and I it was really difficult to set it up correctly, I had to slightly bend the plate that goes attached to the frame if I wanted all 3 bolts in the triangle to match. The angle of the threaded holes in the fork (in this bike) makes it that the triangle plates also ended up a little bent too, anyway, it works. * The frame on my Roll 3.0 doesn't have a threaded hole big enough to use the long bolt it came with, so I had to go the bikeshop and buy 2 bolts for the fork, and 1 long bolt, and nut for the frame. * Instructions are somewhat confusing, in the end you have to use your brain and don't pay much attention to them.

The rack I purchased had bits of aluminum scrap rolling around inside which I had to drill and remove with pliers. Then the rack was so warped I had to drill out the threads to get it to attach to my Diverge's fork. I worked carefully for days and made multi trips and calls to the shop to get this rack on correctly without damaging my fork eyelets or the frame. Fast forward. Sort of literally bending the rack to line up the screw ports better it is impossible to mount the rack without it being Crooked. Staring at it from the cockpit I can clearly see the rack is tilted 10-15 degree to one side, insanely annoying to have to look at. I take the rack off and the threads on the sides of my fork are so messed up I can no longer screw in the stock screw covers. Thank you specialized for selling me a horribly bad quality piece of junk (90$?!? For this?) which has now damaged my most prized possession.

I bought this rack for my Roll 2.0. I had to find new hardware to make it work because it wouldn't work with the hardware it came with. Very disappointed.

Great rack, looks great on the Roll frame! Just one small caveat. For my bike I had to drill out larger (5/32) holes

This is a nice sturdy rack and while it fits my Specialized Sirrus frame, the supplied bolts were not the right length so I had to purchase bolts at the hardware store. I thought this would be a good rack to hold front panniers with a shelf on top for other items. I have since discovered that due the mounting configuration where the top part of the pannier attaches below the shelf, the rack does not work with any of the panniers I have tried. I think it is a good rack and was worth the price (it was on sale) but am finding it was not what I expected.

Sturdy rack on a KHS "Urban Xtreme" and great at under $70. My bike's fork is not recessed for the fork crown insert and box did not include a longer (2") bolt or nut for forks that won't take the insert. So I had to get some new hardware (<$5). Then I broke one of the bolts that attaches the bracket to the rack on install. That was fine though because it encouraged me to do a hack. I drilled out the remaining hole to 1/4" (power drill works fine, just need to step up the bit size incrementally a couple times) and replaced the original bolt with a closed eye-bolt, nut, a couple washers, and a Nylock nut. The eye-loop is on the underside of the rack so the top remains more or less flat. I also put an Eye-bolt through the light mount on the front of the rack (also drilled that to 1/4"). This gives the rack two fixed, closed loop anchor points for rope, bungees, whatever you don't want to potentially slide around on the bars.

Looks to be well made and easily assembled, the only issue is it won['t fit a Specialized suspension bike and Specialized don't see a rigid fork to use the Charlie Chihuahua rack.

Worked great on my specialized roll! Highly recommend!

Prompt delivery, excellent rack, easy installation, and just plain awesome.

Nice sturdy rack that accommodates several ways of carrying cargo. Attached easily to my Kona Unit via mid-fork bosses and fork crown. Really good deal on sale relative to other racks on the market!

Not for my bike. I guess I did not read the product description well enough. This rack really only works on specific bikes. I have two bikes and this does not work on either of them. They have different fork setups, both aluminum. I am sure I could manipulate the rack or buy extra hardware to make it fit one of them. I don’t know that I saw this anywhere, but for those that don’t know this is a front rack.

Very sturdy but lightweight. Perfect

Easy to install just follow the instructions included with your rack. It fits on the Roll and many other bikes as well.

I made it work on a Cannondale Quick cx 4 by using a couple of insulated pipe clamps, as my bike doesn't have the correct fork eyelets for this rack. It's a solid rack for riding around town and commuting to work. I'm in love!

Made it work on roll

It wasn't easy to mount to my fork. I have a specialized Roll. The Roll rack for the back of the bike fit like a glove. The pizza rack was not an easy fit. But, I finally got it to work.

Love the rack, but wish it came with some more hardware for different fork crown mounts.

Very well made. Works well. Easy to install. Shipped very quickly.

I am a world traveling photographer and bicycle tourer. My bicycle is a (2012) Specialized Crosstrail Sport Disk, with a Salsa Chromoly rigid front fork. I was touring in Northern Germany (in 2017) when I bought the PIZZA RACK from a Specialized dealer in Oldenburg, Lower Saxony. After Germany, I flew to Bangkok, Thailand and have been traveling in South East Asia since. The PIZZA RACK has been on my bicycle the entire time (except when the bike is packed for air or rail travel) and has performed without fail. I am currently on the road in Laos, so I am riding only one bike, but if I set up a permanent base in the future and decide to purchase a second bike, I will immediately attach this same rack to the second bike.
