This rack looks really good and sturdy. I haven’t used it with my bags on a trip yet but I think it could handle about twenty pounds on each side safely. There was no way for me to attach a rack to my seat post so I had to get this one almost three times as expensive as others with less capacity too, but it works for me. Because of the design, all the weight will be on two rounded pipes, so avoid too much weight. Also the initial assembly was a pain. But it all turned out great so far. I may update after our 100 mile trip.New: During the trip one of the clamps got loose and the whole rack slid down ending in touching my tire. After opening everything including bags and all and remounting everything again in the middle of the trip, we didn’t have any other issue.The clamps are hard to mount and needs a better design.

I purchased the rack and Panniers for my main commute bike. Picture taken after 500 miles of hard off-road useOverall very high quality ( i would normally go Ortlieb as they are the market leaders for this type of bike kit but thought id give Thule a try )Installation took about 25mins, very simple and a very unique and effective way of attaching to bike .I did have an issue with the racks. After 2 days usage i noticed a missing bolt. I would guess that it was missing when new but i didn't want to return via amazon because the bike is used daily as my main commuter so off i went to 'Thule Support' to log a ticket thinking the worst....Kudos to the Thule team. After i explained why i didn't want to do an amazon return the Thule customer support team sent me out the missing part to my home address and now all is well. A definite 5 star product and the after sale support to match.

I was a bit apprehensive about buying this product because it was more expensive than other racks and there was a lot of plastic. My old rack was all metal and had lasted about a decade although the welds had broken several times and had to be repaired. Looking at replacement racks it appeared they all had the same support welds. After reading about this rack and looking at the reviews I decided to try it.It took a bit to understand the mounting setup but it did not take long to mount it, select the right supports and level it. The rack is very light, appears to be very well built and feels very sturdy with a full pack mounted on top.The lock for the ratchet and strap mounting system is simple and works well. It will be easy and quick to take the rack off and then put it back on. The tire and frame clearance is great and I was able to easily modify my rear fender to fit securely under the rack without having to modify the rack.My only complaint is that I had to purchase the side frames (for the large panniers) separately which made this rack a comparatively expensive item.

Cykelstället gick sönder bara några dagar efter att jag köpte det. När jag monterade det på cykeln sprack gummipackningen direkt. Jag vet inte hur jag ska kontakta säljaren för att få en ersättning
