The rack might interfere with the rear suspension. It's hard to say if it will work without the bike in front of me.

Lightweight, sturdy, easy to install. My road bike does not have seat stay braze-ons, but the rack went on easily enough with some rubber-coated clamps from the hardware store. Attaches securely, no rattling.

Seems pretty lightweight. Straightforward mounting, built-in support for fold out side panniers on my Topeak Trunk Bag. Secured to the bike tightly. Unlike others I've heard, it doesn't rattle on the rails-to-trails rides when loaded down or even without a bag installed. I planned to take it on and off as necessary, and I probably could do it quickly with 4 screws securing it, but there's no need--I never notice it's there until I need it.
Paired with a Topeak MTX Trunk Bag DXP, I can do my grocery shopping for the week with this one rack.

Love it. It is easily removable and had a nice carrying handle. hard to park in a bike rack because it's so big and awkward with the basket on, but I still love it. I bought the expandable kryptonite R4 light to lock it on my bike.

I bought this rack and the MTX Trunkbag DX for my Cannondale Tandem. The rack fit the bike perfectly and the bag mounts right on the rack by sliding on the groves on the top. It is really well designed and easy to mount and take on and off quickly.
The rack is a matte black finish. I thought is was very easy to install especially if your bike has braze-ons for a rear rack.
The rack and the bag combination are great, and would recommend to anyone that does a lot of touring.
