 Sturdy, but a little noisy.Nov 25, 2007
By D. Hoffer

I use this rack, with the corresponding Topeak MTX bag. It makes a sturdy and stable combination, although the spring rack is noisy on bumps. If I were to do it again, I'd buy the same rack, without the spring rack. I've never wanted to ride without the panniers, and the rattle would be reduced, without the extra mechanism.

Well made, fit my bike, good instructionsAug 22, 2010
By Paul D Farber

I got this rack simply becuase it had the spring mounted holder in addition to the snap in system of the other Topeak rack. The slot is there for the Topeak specific bags to mount.. but for their cost I don't think I will ever buy one, so I got this one with the spring.
My bike is a Fuji Sunfire 4.0 26in Hybrid and it went on no problems. The cap screws, washers, nuts are all chrome plated so they should last a while without rusting. Since I also had the frame mounts already welded on it was simply a matter of bending the horizontal support bars a bit and tightening everything up. There is no interference from my seat or the seat tube.
The rack is well made, the welds looks very nice (no spatter, voids etc) and the powder coat is nicely done. The rack even includes on inverted 'T' bracket at the end and several generic mounts for lights and reflectors at the rear of the rack. The stickers they put on the main support tubes are the only COSMETIC issue.. printing them on would have given it a much cleaner look.
Good value, good fit for my bike.

It's a rack. It holds things.Oct 31, 2008
By Neal Groothuis
It's attached to my bike and it carries stuff. It passes.
The one thing you should know before getting this is that it's designed for bikes that bosses by the seat post for the arms to attach to. I think most modern bikes have these, but I had to ream out the holes in the arms so that I could attach it to the seat post bolt instead.

 I love it!Jul 08, 2009
By David Ambrosius
"David"
This is a nice rack. The only reason why I do not give it a 5-star rating is because I would like a simple plate that I can attach pre-existing items to to carry on the rack. However, it does accept standardized bags. I since purchased a new Topeak MTX Trunk Bag DXP Bicycle Trunk Bag with Rigid Molded Panels and it was a wise investment.
