Connecting arms too short
Pros: Great Value, Attractive
Cons: Unadjustable, Poor Fit
"Be careful with this one.
Although this arrived promptly with Wiggle's great service, the 30% discount appears to be because it is not the current model with 26.5 cm connecting arms shown on TopPeak's website.
The connecting arms are barely 20cm long and will not fit a variety of small frames, including our GT Traffic 2.0."

Try this for smaller or triple point frames
Posted February 1, 2012
We replaced this Super Tourist rack with the more recent Super Tourist DX. The arms are 26.5cm long and it was very easy to fit to our triple point GT Traffic. Great returns service from Wiggle, too.

"Well-built, but not easy to fit on a Giant Roam 2 as the front brackets are too short and impossible to get the correct distance apart."

Does the job
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Adjustable, Good Fit
"Bought this for my commuter bike so I did not need to wear a backpack anymore. It has been a real pleasure to ride with - I feel a lot more comfortable without the load on my back. The adjustable extenders took a bit of fiddling to get into place, and I was two screws short, but managed to locate some others that fit. I put the Altura Dryline Rack Pack on this and it fits very nicely."

Good, then it broke. No super tourist!
Cons: Low Quality
"I used this rack happily for 9 months and then it broke.
I mostly used it for commuting, but also did a little holiday touring.
In the end the aluminium around the bottom bolt snapped through when I clipped on a heavy pannier the other morning.
I'll see if they do returns/refunds since it's less than a year old, but I'll be looking to upgrade to a rack where this part of the rack is reinforced (tubus perhaps).
This rack is great value for light commuting loads, but shaky, flimsy and broken at 20kg. Dunno what it's rated at, but it's no "Super Tourist"."

Nice rack!
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Rugged, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: slightly fiddly to fit.
"Bought this to fit a boardman hardtail and fits very nicely. I found the arms that attach it to the seat stay points quite fiddly but managed ok in the end. My bike has discs but the rack fits absolutley fine. i think it depends where the disc calipers are as to wether it will fit or not, check before you buy but you may not need the (more expensive) disc brake specific version, as I have found. Feels very sturdy and to date has carried moderate loads with no fuss at all (over a very bumpy bridleway based commute route. Granted I dont plan carrying heavy loads or touring but for commuting I dont think there's any point spending more than this. Oh and the rack works well as a rear mudguard too."

Nice Bike Rack, but..
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Comfortable, Lightweight
"the only thing keeping it from being "perfect" for me is the fact that the bars on the rack are a bit too thin.. I also got the Ortlieb Rear Panniers Classic w/ the rack, and they tend to slide a bit side to side, because the rack bars are a bit thin. even with the 8mm clips (Ortlieb Panniers) still a bit loose. It is not a huge issue, because everything else works great."

Nice Rack
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, Rugged, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit
"This rack is incredibly solid, I haven't been able to make it flex. I am using it on a Giant Seek that has mechanical disc brakes, they caused no problem with installation. Installation was pretty simple too as long as you have the right tools."

A good lightweight rack
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Rugged, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile
Cons: Limited Color Choices, fiddly to fit
"I am very pleased with this rack although I found the fitting instructions quite confusing as there were two different types of bolts but the instructions didn't seem to mention this so it took quite a bit of trial and error to get it right. I also had to bend the extension arm as it was interfering with my rear brakes.
So the installation was fiddly and time consuming but once on, I am very pleased with it. I have also had to take it off as I am doing a race and that was straightforward now I have got it right and I think putting it back on will also be easy now it is set up to my bike. It is strong, lightweight and I like the fact that it has a solid bit across the top as this acts as a mudguard (I had to take my mudguard off as my bike only had one eyelet for the fixing bolt."

does the job
Pros: Great Value, Lightweight
"Bought this for a bit of bike touring last summer. After about a 800km the adjustable metal brackets that attach the rack to the frame just below the seatpost began to warp and get a lot of flex resulting in the rack rattling back and forward whenever I was putting in a big effort. This was probably caused by the big load I had on the rack though so if you're after a rack for commuting to work etc it'd probably be spot on."

Does the job, but ordinary
Pros: good value
Cons: fiddly installation
"A good price for a simple rack, but quite fiddly to install.
Instead of the normal flexible straps used to connect the rack to the seat stays this model comes with heavy steel connectors. This means that you have to adjust (and adjust) to get the components aligned for your particular set up.
Recommended if all you want is a simple rack at a low price, but not if you are looking for ease of installation or light weight."

great rear bike rack
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, Good Fit
"Never had a rear bike rack before and needed to get one for my new ortlieb panniers. Fitted well to my bike, had to fiddle around abit to get the perfect fit but once that's done, its gold. Its sturdy and solid and holds my panniers well. The nuts for the screws can be better quality, it lost its hexagonal shape after using the spanner for one of them. Overall, I can see this rack lasting a long time and the cheap price is great! well worth it"
