What I Needed Best in Racks

I've just started using this rack, so I may have to change this review. But so far I like it. It was easy to mount to a 27.2mm seatpost with the included rubber pad. I provided a metric hex wrench and bought a stainless steel tension washer for the bolt holding it together. I also attached a plastic cup to the post and ran a spring cord between the post and the seat with moderate tension. I'm hoping the cord is useful for holding stuff in the back and carrying a bit more weight there as some of the load is now on the seat. (I'm still aiming for a 10kg max load.) When I bought my folding electric bike I didn't realize that a full suspension bike couldn't carry a triangular rack, but it's a good solution. The bike still folds easily (folding is necessary to charge the battery). I am very happy with this purchase.
