LumintrailBike Cargo Rack, Seatpost Mounted Bicycle Luggage Carrier with 20 LBs Weight Capacity for Trunk Bags and Quick Release Handle

Rack so convenient, purchased a second one for another bike. Provides light protection like a fender. Easy mounting & can attach safety lights. Versatile. Have mounted light panier bags off the sides & a small box bag on top, Expands cycling experience. CAN mount an extra battery in this location if using an eBike.

I bought this rack for my retro-style cruiser women's bicycle. Once I figured out how to fit it to my bike, it worked out nicely. it is very sturdy, very well built. Be sure to have SAE Allen/hex wrenches on hand when you are ready to install it. It does not come with tools. Once you have all the bolts adjusted by wrench so that it fits your particular bike, the rack does have built-in screw handles for the sections that attach to the bicycle, so that makes it easier to remove if needed.It took me about 15 minutes to assemble the rack pieces. It took me another 30 minutes to actually attach it to my bicycle. The small instruction sheet that came with the rack was very basic and not the most helpful. I needed more detailed information. The instruction sheet didn't give any video information, but I found this very useful video on Amazon which helped a lot:Heavy Duty Carrier Rack with Spring Armhttps://www.amazon.com/vdp/08faf7775fb04be69a08c1130c49554f?product=B09SVTB1KF&ref=cm_sw_em_r_ib_dt_PLPgpnQzfIBor

Really good had it for a yr & a half but it broke at the same time I was always carrying way to much stuff over the limit

It's perfect for me. I think it exceeds a 20 lb static load. That's STATIC, NOT DYNAMIC. So, don't load it then expect to go trail riding!! It's a free hanging lever. Remember. The fulcrum... and the further away the mass is from it, increases load. Plus every bounce or momentum change exponentially increases force!!That being said. I abuse it.Cant have my equipment slowing me up.Yes, Im careful when i pack heavier and im going down a curb. And yes, i seek the smooth path when loaded.And ive had this for one summer, 2019 will be 2nd summer.Also, (SEE PIC) added security. Put a pipe clamp on the rack post clamp!! Not easy on off... but... i live in NYC. It aint coming off. Nor out of my sight for long. Good deterrent.Also.... i added extra hard rubber in the gripper part. Its tight.And there is some sway back n forth when biking hard, so that will 'tail whip' the rack.... but not bad. AND,,,, im not speed racing. Im going to and from clients, training sessions, and stuff.... Im not going to the antique store and bring back a oak dresser....Hmmm... and.... when its loaded heavy...ish.... be careful when you get off your bike... its back heavy and will flip on you if you angle to low....SO>>> DO NOT BUT THIS IF YOU WANT TO PACK HEAVY!!!! This is a light cruiser....If your packing heavy, and want better stability with less sway... then buy a unit with down tubes that directly sit on bike frame!!! Dont buy this model and then say it sucks....DO research...And no... the clamp does not rub into my leg when pedaling.... not even close.Love,[email protected]

The rubber spacers that come with the rack have no adhesion, so you need to do that yourself. The quick release screw stripped after less than a year so it doesn't hold onto the seat post any more. Contacted the company to request a refund or a replacement, but not holding my breath.

The media could not be loaded. I read the reviews on all the other bike racks on Amazon, which appear to be made by the same manufacturer. Distributed under different drop shippers.I ordered one of these first, and was very disappointed. It was flimsy material and didn’t fit my bike. Also the instructions were not. very goodBut then, I found this one by LuminTrail. I had just bought a bike stand from this company and it is perfect. So I figure this company knows how to make good products.And let me tell you, this bike rack is freaking amazing. . It only took me about 30 minutes to install it, thanks to the very simple and complete video that quickly shows you exactly how to do it.And as I show in my video, is is solid as a rock. I am very comfortable carrying 50 pounds, which is a lot! Forget all the other bike racks. This is the one. You will love it.

Nut and bolt mounted supports defeat any point in having a quick release seat post mount, but other than the incongruity in the mounting, this seems like a good rack. It's not going to go on and off fast, so don't let the threat of convenience theft deter you from purchasing this. It's light, it does mount easily. It took about 15-20 minutes to assemble and mount with one wrench and one allen key (not included). My guess is it'll take at least 5, maybe 10 minutes (and tools) to remove it. I have a rack mounted on my regular commuter bike, but it's a vintage bike (circa 1973) and it spends some time in my LBS. I decided to try this rack on my road bike for those days when my commuter isn't up to the task. It'll hold panniers, a trunk bag, or both. I feel like I just put a roof rack on a Ferrari. This rack will come off when my commuter bike is back or I replace it, and this rack will be easy to adjust and re-mount on any bike. One feature they don't tell you about: you can adjust the rack forward or back on the post to gain more room. I'm mounted up high on the seat post, so I don't need the room, but if I had to mount lower, I'd be able to adjust the rack further back to get pedaling space. You can't beat it at $30. Quick release supports would make it better, but then it would probably a $75 rack (and easy stolen).
