Hi, the MEC racks are Blackburn clones and I’ve toured with both models and both broke. MEC replaced them without question but when you are in the middle of nowhere and your rack brakes…

www.Crazyguyonabike.com has a report on racks and it is worth reading. I bought an Axiom Journey rack and I’ve read that these can fail. I am looking for a steel rack for my next long tour just to be on the safe side. I did use the MEC low rider rack without a problem but I would not trust aluminum racks again.
Try reversing the rack instead of cutting it just drill new holes for the stainless mounts.
