Dirza Rear Bike Rack Bicycle Cargo Rack Quick Release Adjustable Alloy Bicycle Carrier 115 lbs Capacity Easy to Install Black

I badly needed something to carry water, First Aid supplies, and some tools on my new E-Bike. I could not mount a water bottle holder on the frame. Just no way with the Lithium Battery. This bike rack was somewhat simple to install on the bike. I was careful to use the included rubber shims on the clamps that go on the frame. I did not want to scratch or damage my paint job, and I wanted the rack to stay secure. I was EXTRA careful when I mounted the clamp where my back brake cable runs. The cable literally runs under the bolt of the clamp now(see pic). I paid attention to make sure everything was properly aligned. Please Note: The bag in the photos DID NOT come with the rack. I bought that at a department store. I was pleasantly delighted with the bungie cord, and web tie town. The reflector literally just slides on, and to me, it looked like one good bump, and the reflector would pop out. So....I cut a piece of the rubber shim, and pushed it in behind the reflector, its very sturdy now. This rack is very lightweight.

This rack replaced an old dinged up rack on my 22 year old Diamondback. I had no clue what the old one's weight capacity was and we are planning on adding a puppy to our lives. This rack will hold the new family member and crate with no problem when the paws tire out. It arrived securely bubblewrapped with no damage. I had plenty of room to attach to my seatpost and the expandable legs were long enough to attach it securely to the frame at a good looking angle. There were included rubbery pads so you don't have to be an old tube hoarder to tighten the seatpost clamp or protect your frame. I like being able to adjust the whole rack forward or back depending on the seat spacing. Directions were clearly illustrated and explained. I swapped and used the shorter bolts for the frame clamps and will use the longer ones for the pannier guard. One very small issue is that it is best to install the reflector BEFORE sliding and securing the rack back from the seat. Looks sharp, and a good investment. Even had a nice thank you card included.

TREK FX-3 Hydrid bike. Fits fine.This rack is not bad with my old Roswheel velcro attached bag strapped to it. Sandwiches out of my bag for lunch could not be easier. I like the bungie cord which can be attached in 6 spots and seems very good. I can see using this if coming back from a store, mounting the bungee cords with the (small) store bag/package right over my bike bag.I have had 3-4 bike racks on various bikes over the last 15 years. This one may last. Lightweight and sturdy. Unless you mount a boulder on top of it, it is not going to break. I do like that this rack has side supports mounting to the rear frame. My previous rack was WITHOUT the two side supports on and attached only to the bike seat post making it very unstable (weak) and could move side to side. This rack was easy to install - 20 minutes. I followed the video on the Amazon site, not the instructions which in my opinion seems to make things harder than they should be. Tighten the screws/bolts down but i would not put excessive force/tightening - you do not want anything to snap on the mounts. Not that the mounts are cheap - but the design is LIGHTWEIGHT not to mount a 350 engine onto a Ford. I choose NOT to put on the side bars as I do not use a saddle bar at the moment. Those complaining about the side bar not being long enough and the bags hitting the wheel...... the side bar is stiff lightweight alum, and it is pretty obvious the fix is to just bend/angle the stiff alum out a bit from the wheels and it should not be an issue with saddle bags.

This worked great! Even with my ebike post. John st make sure your saddle bags arent too long.

The rack is sold. I've had it for over a year and have a basket on it, so it deals with heavy loads on grocery day and moderate loads during the work day. It hasn't budged from where I set it.Don't get me wrong it was a pain in the ass to install since there are a lot of different components to tighten, but it is solid once done.The cargo net didn't last. The bungee material in it gave out after a couple of months and I didn't use it often; maybe twice a month for big grocery runs
