Wald 570 Rear Twin Bicycle Carrier Basket (13.5 x 5 x 10) Review

It's a good simple basket, not a fashion statement. It's well made and serviceable -- for carrying books to the library and such. It doesn't rattle like a collapsible basket does.

These timeless rear rack and basket combinations allow transport of longer boxes or heavier items on the rear of the bike where greater load stability can be achieved. Newspapers, large overnight express boxes, or long-stem bouquets sit easily in the deep baskets and can be secured to the wires if necessary. The carriers also offer a wired platform extending over the rear wheel for additional cargo capacity.

Inline Pletscher Type CS Rear Rack 26"-700C-27" Silver Review

Inline Pletscher Type CS Rear Rack 26-700C-27 Silver
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
No, it does not have mounting arms for a mountain bike or a dedicated touring bike like a Surly Long Haul Trucker. It is not specifically intended for carrying panniers on a tour. But if you want what a pletscher rack was in the 60s and 70s -a good way to carry a small basket on your road bike- this is it. It is intended to attach to stay eyelets and the seatstay bridge. The universal mounting hardware is for mounting to the brake pivot bolt of a rear caliper brake on newer bikes (80s-90s) without a suitable seatstay bridge. I am sure that the seller assumed that most people would know what a pletscher rack is and how to mount one. This rack is for a traditional road bike, not a mountain bike.

Axiom Streamliner Road DLX Rear Rack Black Review

Axiom Streamliner Road DLX Rear Rack Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this because it is primarily for hybrid and road type bikes. I wanted something that was streamlined, sturdy wouldn't hit my heals and was nice looking and well made. This part fits the bill. I'm using this rack for commuting and light touring. It seems to hold up well with the 2300 cubic inch panniers loaded up. It says it is rated for 110 lbs but, I do not intend to load down with that much wieght. If you have larger than 700x28c tires and want to run fenders I do not think it will fit. My bike is a cyclocross with Canti's and this rack hugs the frame nicely and closely. All the parts necessary to install on my bike came with the product.

Topeak MTX Trunk Bag DX Bicycle Trunk Bag with Rigid Molded Panels Review

Topeak MTX Trunk Bag DX Bicycle Trunk Bag with Rigid Molded Panels
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
To help visualize, the horizontal space of the main compartment of this trunk is big enough to tightly carry two plastic gallons of milk and there is a vertical separator panel with velcro ends to sort into 2 loads. The vertical space of the main compartment will allow the zipper to close with a milk container in the rear, but as the front slopes downward, there's not quite enough clearance in the front of the trunk for the top of the second milk container.
The side pocket space is pretty narrow due to the rigid molding which gives the bag a neat and trim appearance -- don't plan on putting anything much more than an inch wide if you want to be able to zipper close. Otherwise don't forget to bring a bungie cord or two (always a good idea) in which case the top of the pocket opens to about 5 inches before being held at that width by side expanders on the front and back. I would have rather had the rigid sides confined to the main compartment or had the side pockets otherwise engineered to zipper close around wider objects.
Plenty of places to strap the trunk down if you don't have a Topeak MTX bike rack, but it's pretty slick if you do have one. Just slide and go and use the included carrying strap if you want to use it as a small shopping carrier.
A bit pricey, but a nice product overall.

Axiom Streamliner Road DLX Racks Review

Axiom Streamliner Road DLX Racks
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this rack in a sort of desperation after my bike shop told me the only rack in the whole world that would fit my newly purchased bicycle would be about $150, plus installation. I sought a second opinion at REI and they told me the same thing. I did some research and decided this was worth the small gamble and it paid off, much better than I had hoped.
This rack does not come with any directions whatsoever, but after two hours the rack was finally installed. Read further for time saving hints:
Remove the quick release skewer and place the skewer through the mounting holes on the rack. I went in the order rack, spring, quick release/cap. I had to push the rack legs together about ? an inch to be able to screw the cap back on the skewer, this was probably the hardest part, squeezing together and trying to screw on the quick release cap at the same time.
Next, this comes with a bracket you mount to the rack and the brake caliper, not shown in the stock photo.
Important part! I had to BEND this bracket to get it to fit from the rack to my break caliper. The bending part wasn't too difficult, but it did take some time to get it to fit correctly. It originally was too parallel to the floor, and I had to methodically bend it to the angle between the rack and the caliper.
Once the bracket looked correct, I completely removed the break caliper and went in the order bicycle frame, rack bracket, caliper unit. I had to remove a thick washer to be able to have the break caliper screw be long enough to reaffix.
At this point, I then affixed the bracket to the rack with the included screws and bolts. I used a level to make sure I wasn't pulling the rack too far forward when attaching the bracket. They include 6 screws, in sets of varying length, but only two bolts.
The only tools you need are an Allen wrench (to remove caliper) and a screwdriver and pliers (to affix bracket to rack), and maybe a level if you're like me.
The rack seems super sturdy, I can lift up my bike with the rack, and I can push and pull the rack and there is no give. It works great!
I guess the $150 rack manufacturer has some competition now!

Sunlite Alloy Rear Carrier for Bicycles (26") Review

Sunlite Alloy Rear Carrier for Bicycles (26)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I installed this rack on my Forge Sconset Beach Cruiser Bike - Skyscape Blue and it was a perfect fit (lucky me!). The Sconset has braze-ons on the seat stays and the stainless steel rack brackets attaches to them. I did have to bend the brackets slightly to get them positioned where they needed to be but I think that is standard operating procedure when attaching a rear rack and in fact probably adds to the strength and stability of the rack since there is some beneficial tension there. The rack came with vinyl coated wrap-around pieces to use with the brackets in case the bike lacks braze-ons. I often hang a pair of Basil Cardiff Rear Basket, Black on this rear rack and they work together perfectly. One thing to note - the bit of curved up tubing they give us at the bottom of the rack struts - there for a bungee cord hook - is very small so a typically thick bungee hook just barely holds on and could flip off. You may need to buy a "Rack Strap" (made by Blackburn I think), or other similar type of strap since its hooks are thinner and would probably hold better.

Avenir Rear Road Bike Rack (Black, 700c) Review

Avenir Rear Road Bike Rack (Black, 700c)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
An all-around good, sturdy bike rack. It's slightly less expensive than the other bike racks on amazon. The product comes with all the installation materials. As for the tools, only a screwdriver is necessary, but a wrench will makes things much easier. You won't need any specialized bicycle tools for this. It took me about 15 minutes to install the entire thing and it fits perfectly on my average-sized road bike. I can lift the entire bike(~25 lbs) by the rack without a hitch. I've yet to come across any problems. My one complaint is that the product does not come with any extra screws, which are easy to lose, so you'll have to be careful not to misplace any of them. Also, you can mount a reflector(not included) on the rear of the rack.
Note: Your bike should have small holes in the rear of the frame specifically for mounting racks or else installing it may be a pain. I think most frames have these holes, but you should check to be safe.

Delta Mega Rack Universal Rear Bike Rack Review

Delta Mega Rack Universal Rear Bike Rack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is not a bad rack. It's light and seems to be well made. Nevertheless, it annoys me when vendors claim a "universal" ability to mount on any bike. Out of the box, no way will this work on my frame, which happens to be a Gary Fisher Mendota. To make this thing work, I need to make a trip to the hardware store to buy some aluminum straps in order to fabricate the necessary bracket extensions. Had the packaged connectors been about 4 inches longer it might have worked.

Topeak QR Beam Rack EX Bicycle Rack Review

Topeak QR Beam Rack EX Bicycle Rack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I searched all over looking for a good but cheap rack, you cannot beat this product for the price and how well it's built. It has a little hidden tray for a wallet or something, comes with reflector and you can remove it and it's ready to recieve blinking lights,clip ons. Perfect for running to the store, comes with two adjustable rubber straps. Had it on in minutes, comes with different size rubber shims to fit seat post size if you need them and best of all it doubles as a fender and keeps the water from shooting on me. I have 26 inch wheels and I finished it off by getting the little extended fender that Topeak makes for it. (MTX DeFender Bicycle Fender-$5.00) The threaded holes are already in the rack and with the 2 screws that came with the fender, had it on. It sticks out past the rack another 5 inches and total length, Rack and fender from the center of the seat post is 23 1/4 inches. I am very happy with it and it really looks good.

The bag is well made. It's pretty small, but large enough for an experienced "credit card" bike tourer to use for trips of several days, perhaps as long as a week in warm dry weather. The nicest feature is the mounting system, it sides on and off the Topeak Beam Rack in a flash.

I really wanted a Surly "Nice" rack for my LHT but I couldn't pass up this price on this a similar rack. The rack has a very narrow profile so if you intend to use the top of the rack for porting you may want to look elsewhere. I like the tail light feature on this rack because it get my blinkie off my post making easier to put my bike in grips of a repair stand. I also found it hard to find a silver rack but Axiom has several.

Delta Mega Rack Post Haste Bicycle Seat Post Rack Review

Delta Mega Rack Post Haste Bicycle Seat Post Rack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This item was impossible to find at local cycle shops, so I had to purchase it on specifications (and faith). I was not disappointed, the unit is very light weight and relatively compact- just what I wanted.
The only minor difficulty was the bracket (to mount a rear reflector) was inserted in the main support tube. Instructions did not indicate this, and the fixture, contained within a plastic bag, was lodged within the tube (some 10" deep). WIth my wife's acumen, knitting needles and finally a drain unclogging tool, we we able to coax out the fixture. Don't let this detail scare you off- it's a great product!

Sunlite Bicycle Alloy Springer Rear Rack, (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This rack is exactly the same type I had on many bikes when I was growing up. it went on easily and is useful for small amounts of weight. I would have liked them to include some rubber shims to put in between the rack and the bicycle frame. This would help with both the rack not slipping and not scratching the frame. I haven't used the new style racks that allow attachment of various types of bags and panniers but this one seems to work OK for small things when used with a bungee cord. The rat trap feature is useful for carrying things like a baseball mitt or basketball.

This is a nice solid rack. I was able to adjust it to site fairly far back from my seat, which meant my heels don't hit the grocery panniers I also installed.
The only downside to the product is the lack of an instruction sheet. I downloaded a picture of the rack from the manuf's website brochure ([...]) and printed an enlarged view to see where the parts went.
All you need is a hex/allen wrench and either pliers or a wrench and you're good to go.
