 Great rack but check your bike first February 19, 2008

I love this rack. Sturdy as all heck once installed properly. Unfortunately I didn't realize the rack was made for bikes with seat stays which my Trek didn't have. After a couple of trips to the local outdoor store, I finally stopped by a proper bike shop and picked up a Blackburn Monostay Rack Adapter. It took me nearly an hour to get everything properly installed but once installed the rack didn't move. I use this rack with a Topeak DX bag (with panniers). The bag has QuickTrack and is super-sturdy on this rack. Highly recommended.
Nice rack! August 10, 2007

I bought this rack to put on my wife's beach cruiser with the Topeak rear basket. It is adaptable to all bicycles as advertised, but is designed to fit bicycles with threaded seat-stay bosses. If you're bicycle does not have threaded rack mounts, installation will require some type of adaptor. My wife's bike is an Electra and Electra sells a seat clamp with rack mounts which installs easily; other companies might sell a similar item. Installation was easy. Rack is very sturdy. The rear basket goes on easily with the MTX track system.Topeak MTX Rear Bicycle Basket

A great value! Detailed directions. No extra parts - don't drop any of those tiny washers. I was lucky - my bicycle has threaded attachment points. If yours does not, be prepared to make a trip or 2 to the hardware store.
Also, the rack does not come with an Allen Wrench. Hopefully you have a set of Allen Wrenches on hand.
Fantastic Rack! November 12, 2007

Use this in conjunction with MTX bags. It has lips on either side of the center platform to accept and hold the plastic bottoms of the MTX Bags. Compared to other racks by other manufacturers, this is a dream to use. Just slide on your bag and snap it into place. It is very sturdy and strong, not to mention it is priced like other bike racks. You can't use panniers with this rack. Becareful with the included braze-on screws, one broke easily when I installed it. I'm sure it was just a dud.

This rack fit right on to my Trek 4500 frame with existing bolt locations. Rack is sturdy and works great. I typically use it with the Topeak MTX Trunk Bag DXP -- clicks right into place. In addition to the Topeak brand Trunk Bag, I have now also used the rack with standard rear panniers (non-Topeak bags that hook along the top and bottom) -- using these additional bags simultaneously with the Topeak sliding trunk bag is not possible, however.
Very happy with the rack, am picking up a second for a second bike (a Trek 3700 -- will fit directly on this bike as well).
