Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Overall this is a great rack and seems quite sturdy. I use it to carry a trunk bag with clothes and misc things for commuting to work every day.
The main tubing is thick and feels strong. It mounted perfectly on my 1992 Specialized Rockhopper Comp. As others have mentioned, your frame needs to have the proper braze-ons, or as some have called them "holes", for the mounting screws. If it's your first rack, it might take a little while to get things all lined up and tightened down, but it mounts like 99% of the other racks out there. Should be no surprises.
The whole rack is aluminum and nice and light, but being aluminum it's a little soft. If you're not careful, you can mash up the top deck a little with the screws. The only washers included with the hardware are for the underside. I'd recommend adding an additional washer under the head of the deck screws to keep the screw head from digging into the soft material as you tighten it down.
All said, I'm very happy with the rack. Especially for the price.. Can't be beat.
*** 08MAY2011 UPDATE ***
I recently took this rack on a short multi-day ride (about 380 miles) with a couple of panniers hanging off it and a medium-sized trunk bag on top. The pannier's weighed-in at around 30-35 lbs and the trunk bag carried around 5 lbs (mostly food stuff). The route was about 60% paved highways and 40% mostly graded dirt/gravel roads. The rack held up fine and none of the mounting hardware came loose on the trip.
Some racks have a little more of a rear support bar/framework for panniers to rest against. I was a little worried with this rack that my panniers might bounce into the rear wheel spokes, but they didn't. I'm super happy with this little rack, especially after putting it through a bit of a workout. I'll probably pick up another to keep in the garage as a spare for when this one wears out.
