Customer Rating: - Added to new bike
I was looking for something to put on a new hybrid bike I had purchased and this carrier worked well. Since it is winter where I live have not been out much on the bike but it was easy to install and seems quite functional. I would recommend it as a low cost and functional addition to any bike used for pleasure riding. Probably not so good for the Tour de France.

Customer Rating: - Easy to install, works great!
This rack is great! It was easy to install on mine and the wife's Trek bikes. The bending of the metal arms that hold the upper portion of the rack to the bike was not that hard. The Topeak sliding system for trunks and other carring options, baskets etc. is by far the best I've ever seen for varity. The price at Amazon was the lowest I've found too. The racks are going to be used with the Topeak's trunk with the fold down panniers for short motel touring in N Texas. Already they have been very handy. The rack is solid and quiet on the bike. Lightweight too. Don't get the one with the spring clamp, it's heavier and noiser from what I've read.

Customer Rating: - One of the tube supports broke on it
I use my rack to hold about 30 pounds of lead acid batteries and after about a year the one of the rear support posts broke in half.
So much for the weight limit.

Customer Rating: - Got it!
I bought this rack from REI at a better price. They mailed it via USPS, arrived very quickly. You need this first for the function of a rear fender/mud gaurd. Afterwards, you can think how to lash all your stuff to it or, fashion some kind of crate on it.
