RockChalk Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Kuat tray plastic to metal joint broke today...they are sending a new part but I would have expected Kuat to have me send in the part for analysis on the chance this was a materials or design failure. Was at Walnut 1:30, rode in the effing heat for about an hour, returned to find broken part, no other damage to the rack..suppose someone could have jumped on it to break it...but my guess is the extended heat over the summer and a latent materials defect did this...just glad it did not happen on 35.

Albert Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Man, that sucks. Seems really odd that it would break like that on its own. I have one of those racks as well. I wonder how heavy that piece is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browndog Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 That has happened to me twice now. They sent me replacements for both last time. I carry an extra on road trips just in case. My guess is the heat as well. Mine has been on the back of my truck in the driveway for about six years.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Well, that's a bit disconcerting. That could be pretty bad if it happened while you're cruising down the highway at 70mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattlikesbikes Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I've got one of the first Kuats ever, such a great rack. It would be great though if they sold replacement pieces for what broke, but in a 3.0 compatible size. My 2.7 front just barely sort of kinda fits.
