Topeak Beam Rack Bicycle Type Sports & Fitness in Cycling Review

Easy to put on the seat post, good grip despite potholes, bumps and dirt roads. I have a small adult e-bike and had to make the "A" shape fit well over the fenders.

I bought two of these and will buy another one if this one breaks too. I've put my rack through quite a bit of abuse so I know it won't last forever, but until then it's working really well. I use this with the included Topeak pannier frame and saddlebags. It wobbles a bit and can rub the tire if off-center, but it's designed for bikes with rear suspension that can't be mounted at multiple points, so it's a fair compromise.

I received this bag and rack for my 23 year old vintage mountain bike. I've gotten older so the bike is mostly used on paved and gravel bike paths. This is the bike I use for towing the big kids as well as family rides. It's nice to be able to carry tools, a Yeti thermos, and anything that doesn't fit in my jersey pockets. The stand looks very nice. It's smooth, tight, there's no movement at the seatpost. The fit and finish of the bag and rack are top-notch, creating a strong connection between

This is my third purchase. My wife has one and gave it to her son. I ordered it the day I gave it to my son. He moves to San Diego and bikes to work. Works great, easy to turn on and off. Things to consider if you have one. Balance the load. Don't put all 20 pounds in a pocket on your side. It has built in rubber bungee cords. Take off the voltage when not in use. Before installing the post, I wipe down the seat post and post clamp with rubbing alcohol. If there is oil or grease, the grate will

I bike to work - about 120 miles a week. I had a stock MTX Explorer mount on a bike that I ended up selling. Since then I've been looking for a solution for my new road bike without solder. I tried the backpack and hated it. I tried the messenger bag and hated it. I ordered this shelf and was not disappointed. It works great, stays in place and fits in my MTX bag. On the weekends I rent the trunk for my long vacation trips. Highly recommended. (I posted the same review for a V-type rack. I…

The product is excellent! It will not move when properly tightened. I bought type A because it is designed for smaller frames (I have XS). However, when using this item with the trolley folding basket folded, the basket handle hit the back of my seat. If you're short like me (and your seat isn't high enough, the basket or bag may not fit under the seat as intended and will come into contact with your seat. I switched it to Type E and it seems clear that Wheel AND sits far enough under the seat…

I would love to love this bike rack but I have a feeling I like it. It held the weight I put on it. I really like the different attachments at the end that allow you to attach lights in different configurations. My biggest problem is that I don't think he has enough grip on the seatpost. I'm not sure if this is just an inherent flaw of all these rack clamps or not. Every time I bump the kickstand while getting up or taking it off, or when I tilt the bike and the kickstand bumps into something…
