Review on Enhance Your Cycling Experience with the Topeak Explorer Rack by Jon Lewis

Great fitment. The included hardware is high quality and screws into my bike frame like butter. The use of nylon-inserted locknuts to secure the stand itself is a nice touch. I use this with a Topeak bag and the attachment system is really good. The fold-out panniers also feature elastic straps that easily hook into well-designed attachment points near the axle. On my frame (Trek Checkpoint ALR 58cm) I had to use the shortest handlebar setting. This will leave a lot of excess material sticking out. It's not very noticeable and it's far enough from the tire that I'm not overly concerned, but I might go back with a hacksaw one day and cut off 6 inches of excess material. Incidentally, there is a clear warning about the weight limit, and also do not use with a child seat. It's pretty absurd telling people that. It's made for your products, not the little person you're responsible for. In addition, you can clearly see from the photos that the chrome mounting plates are not black.
