I have two sets of their expedition racks. Few problems as they are a bit over-built. I will note that mounting the front rack has been a PIA on just about every bike I have installed one on. The placement of the low drop-out mounts in relation to the mid-point fork mount results in either the thing not being close to level, or fouling the brakes, or both. The only solution is to re-bend the attachment bracket (easily done with an old seat post). The only other "issue" is the lack of the lower ataachment point for panniers and back with an S-hook attachment. AAgain, this is easiuly overcome, but I wish they had thought of it instead of me.
