Submitted by Asher a from Somerville, MA, USA
Date Reviewed: December 12, 2001
Duration Product Used:6 months
Price Paid: $40.00
Strengths:Easy to install, holds yer load. A good commuter rack.
Weaknesses:Rear reflector/blinkie bracket bends easily. Mounting screws vibrate loose, need regular tightening.
Similar Products Used:Blackburn MT-1, old Blackburn (?) Expedition
Bike Setup:Binachi Volpe
Bottom Line:I love racks. I can't understand how anybody using their bike for commuting or errands WOULDN'T have on on their bike. The Blackburn products are pretty good, and can be used in a variety of ways: to hold trunks, panniers, your lock, a 6-pack (though not all at the same time). This and a bungee are all you need.

I haven't tried the Jandt racks, though they're supposed to be higher-end, more suitable for bigger loads for touring.
