Missing screws, you can't install this easily.

Does NOT come with instructions, and the instructions on the Yepp webpage are not enough to make it easy. The Yepp website does not show how to connect the top of the rack to the frame with the included hardware. There weren't enough screws included to attach it to my bike with the included hardware. For over $77, I expect it has more than enough screws to connect. The stand itself is of good quality. You almost certainly won't be able to install this on your bike yourself without some extraโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • There are some nuances

Not all hardware included

This item does not come with all the hardware you will need. The manufacturer does not supply bottom fasteners (which are the supporting part and the most important component). I was able to take him to the bike shop next door. The mechanic pointed out that the bolts needed depend on the strength and intended use of the beam - if the bolts don't fit, they can break under certain loads. I use this with a Yepp Maxi bike seat - I obviously don't want my child to fall off the back of the bikeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Almost never

A used Yepp Maxi needed this luggage rack. We fitted the Yepp Mini's front mount to my husband's bike and decided it was worth mounting it on the back of my bike. It's pretty hard. The hardware will most likely be missing when you receive it, mine seems to have arrived with all the brackets except for a shorter one which I don't need. It says there are two sizes of rack, but after searching the web archive on the old Yepp website, I realized that the difference between the 28" and 26" models is

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Problems

I wanted Thule's brands to match. So I made it with a bit of engineering

So I really wanted this rack to work. I measured mine and my wife's Electa city bikes and mine had disc brakes. And they had the same external dimensions. So I bought this yepp maxi trunk rack and seat. So I pick up the stand and notice that the disc brake caliper is sticking out about 3/8 inch. So I need some washers to clean it. Light. home depot. Attached is a photo of what I bought. And to make it easier, I have a Thule bike trailer with lots of trunk space. I used 1 washer so there was noโ€ฆ

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from the testers
Cons
  • Damaged

Great solid stand but experienced installer required

First of all the stand is very sturdy and well made. This gives me confidence that it will hold my child and the seat. I have a Trek X-Caliber 7. Finding a child seat carrier is almost impossible. This is one of the few carriers, along with Giant, Toppeak and many others, that specifically state that they can work with a child seat. When I received the stand I was very pleased with the finish and construction. This is a very good shelf. Now for the bad, as others have said, it doesn't have allโ€ฆ

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Nothing
