Excellent quality, easy install       rating

I've had this item installed on my Trek 7.5 FX for about a month now and haven't put too many miles on the bike, maybe 50-60 but all over tough broken concrete in an urban environment. The rack has held up great. I also bought one of the Topeak bags that slide onto this rack and its really high quality, a great value for the price!
Easy to install, works perfectly       rating

I had never installed a bike rack and wasn't sure if this would fit on the bike. The rack easily installed on my girlfriend's female mountain bike. It feels very sturdy and well built and is as good looking as can be expected for a rack. I've seen cheaper ones on here but i'd say this one is a good value for the quality.
A good rack, but I didn't appreciate having to buy more hardware.       rating

Like another reviewer I had to deal with the situation of having to drill out the holes in the rack for 6mm screws (which I had to buy myself) in order to mount it on my bike. So this must be a fairly common occurence, which prevents me from giving the rack 5 stars -- as it does seem to be a very solid and durable rack. Anyway I came up with this scale regarding the installation process based on one's mechanical inclination.

For someone who's very handy with tools and not intimidated by having to customize an installation -- no sweat whatsover.

For someone like me who knows how to use tools but doesn't like unforeseen problems -- doable with a fair amount of cussing and swearing and maybe a beer or two along the way.

For someone who doesn't know the difference between a straight slot and phillips head screw driver -- put back in the box and arrange for a return before even trying.

relatively easy to install but would be better if it came with straps or other bungie type cord for carrying items
