Happy it arrived early....as I mentioned the 23" gives you a bit extra in length just in case a rack is a bit long...
For my Ibera rack it was perfect.  Now, I would like to get the optional front bike light but that puppy has been out of stock since July and I check twice a day and either I missed an opportunity or they are just not available.

I got a Ibera rack also. I just looked, didn't know RAD had a premium light. You think 500 Lumens will be bright enough?

I have bought 3 lights from Amazon. I have returned the first two. Just got the third. It says it's 2400 lumens but no way it's that bright. I wonder how many lumens the RadRover 5 stock light is.

Jb,

The 23 (60cm) is the way to go. I guess you could use the 15, using the existing Rad cable plus the 15 from Bolton but it seems to me that would be a tight fit.  I guess that might depend on what rack you get and what size it is.

On Amazon iI see its 18 Nov-10 Dec delivery with a 2–5 Nov "Fastest Delivery."  That still is a long wait. I guess I must have just gotten lucky not that that happens often.....

George

Got the cable today. It came sooner than expected. I'm glad I got this 23" one. I don't see how the 15" from Bolton would be long enough for my RadRover 5.

Rack installed fine on my Rover fine without the spacers.  I think using the spacers put to much stress on the bolts.

Those of you that have this rack and installed it on a Rad Rover, did you use the spacer on the lower mounting bolt? I read on Amazon reviews that the bolts break there. My guess it's because the bolt is cheap and or because of the spacer. I bet being the screw sticks out and the weight of the rack is on the end of the screw it puts more stress on the screw than if you didn't use the spacer. I really don't understand why the spacer is used. Any reason I can't install the rack without the spacers? I will be going to the hardware store to purchase some screws just in case.

Don't you wish your Rad had been delivered that quick.... did you get the break extension?

George

No not yet. I'm looking at another month or two

Wow my rack showed up today From Amazon.

I ordered the Ibera rack from Amazon. Will be here October 1st.

Jim

Bolton cable is 15" and is currently out of stock. The one I got off Amazon is 23".

@George3

Thank you.!

I would greatly appreciate photos of the install. How long did you have to wait to get the extender cable?

Thanks again. 

I ordered my cable September 18th. Amazon says delivery will be Nov 12th to Dec 2nd.

Jim

Fedex just delivered my Radrover 5. I ordered Aug 4th.

Jim

Just got a email from Fedex that my bike was picked up and it will be here Monday. The app I use on my phone to track packages says Monday. The Fedex website says Wednesday. I doubt it will be here Monday.

Jim

Ya that's normal. Most items I order online will say Label Created then after a day or so it finally starts moving. From what I have read here there have been some delays so I am expecting it could take some time to start moving my way.

Jim

I ordered my Rad Rover 5 Aug 4th. Just got my shipping notification today. Says delivery 9/21. From what I see here I an not holding my breath that it will be here on 9/21.

Jim

I received a email Wednesday saying my Rad Rover is on track to ship late September. I ordered August 4th.

Jim

In July the Discount was $200. When I placed my order for a Radrover August 5th the discount was $100. I just looked and could not find the discount page on their website.
