Title: Low Quality Rear Rack
Review: I purchased this rack from my local bike shop with the purchase of a new hybrid/comfort type bike. My intention was to use the rack to transport my gear in panniers or a rack bag to work ocassionally when the weather was good. While the rack appeared sturdy, unfortunately it did not hold up and broke at the bottom weld on one side where it attaches to the real brazeon near the rear axle, after about 1 month of use. The gear I transported were my work clothes and they certainly did not weigh even 15 lbs and the load was balanced evenly over the rack.The local bike shop did not offer any other suggestion other than to buy a new one. I paid $34.95 for this rack and was disappointed. I could not even contact the manufacturer to complain as the only information listed a distributer.While rack looks sturdy, it is apparently cheaply made as the weld broke within a short time of my use. I have since replaced this rack with a Topeak rack and have been much happier.
