I do like the look of that axiom rack and the price is right!!!
My rack of choice is the Delta Universal mega rack, Sunlite Trunk Bag(small), and an old pair of cannondale 'front' bags on the rear. On my #2 commuter I use the same rack w/Jandd Saddlebags which I don't recommend as they don't hold very much. On #3 commuter I've got the Delta w/Jandd Mountain Expedition Expandable...a little overkill for a commute but I NEVER seem to run out of room. I swap the bags from bike to bike according to mood, but the Universal Mega has a 6 bolt system to accomodate 26" and 700 wheels. They're about 35.00 from the delta website in black or silver. I always do blue 'Loctite' on the bolts, too. Don't do the red Loctite, you'll NEVER get them off.
