Mounted on my old Stumpjumper.




Mounted on my new X-Check.




It's a good rack and I've had no problems with it at all. I've put more than the stated weight limit of 15 pounds on there and it was solid. I wouldn't load it up with 40 pounds of stuff for an all day ride, though. The only thing that can be tricky is the fork crown bracket. I had to bend it quite a bit to get a proper fit on my new bike. It's was tricky to bend it so that it didn't interfere with the hanger cable for my front canti's, but still kept the rack levelled.
My fave feature of it is the reflector tab, which I repurposed and mounted my headlight on. Keeps the light lower, so you get better definition of road contour than having it on the bars.
